Edits to Astray
a month ago
I updated each of the Astray chapters I've uploaded so far. For the most part, these are not big changes, but they do have a more notable effect on "Lost." That said, if you've been reading, you can probably skip a re-read without it affecting much.
When I originally started Astray, I was imagining a more "space opera" universe. At that time, Lost's setting made a lot more sense. However, I've become disinterested in that more high-concept universe. As I continued worldbuilding, I found myself trying to ground things more—and more than that, center the focus ever more strongly on the kethirr's internal cultures and homeworld, Thirrik.
I've committed to this direction, which is much more "planetary romance" and much less "space opera." This doesn't affect the story much. Astray was never really a space opera, even in its most original form.
Lost is the only chapter with all that many changes. It's still set on Nakril, and the overall story is still basically the same. However, a lot of background details have changed. I also added notes about the limitations of FTL and the affects living off-world can have on a person. Oh, and the pistol mentioned is a knife now.
If you've been reading Astray, thank you. I hope it isn't terrible. It's been fun to writeand rewrite so far.
