Yeah - it's the important part for now. The rest will be put out there in a 
little.

Maybe. I didn't vote for Genechips, so I haven't been incorporating them 
into my ideas so far.

We can either have a Ministry or we can trust people and CFI if they call 
something a story that isn't. I think we'll be able to tell in general, and 
if I make a clear definition, someone (I won't name names) will make a story 
that isn't a story but meets the definitions.

You want to do that manually? I can fix this by making it so the same Sonnet 
can't be used multiple times, so that's no biggie.

Also, my spell-checker thinks you misspelled ABABCDCDEFEFGG.


Your spell checker killed my first-born child. I will one day have my 
revenge.
