The Dawson Family

As in my Epilogue, I feel more comfortable in a ‘real world’ scenario, rather than a supernatural one. I’m one of those naïve nerds who have complete faith in the ability of the Scientific Method and the resulting scientific advances to be a major factor in the solution of all of mankind’s problems. (I have sought therapy for this condition, to no avail) For the sake of continuity, JAL’s universe is interpreted by me as ‘reality;’ consequently, all of the phenomena he describes are accepted as such and will be fully explainable (eventually) by science. (Although a bit of cherry-picking [artistic license] is indulged in whenever I feel like it) If you read my Epilogue, you saw that I came uncomfortably close to a deus ex machina, but was emboldened when no one complained. Expect more of these near misses in my future writing. When I finished the Epilogue, there were many interesting ideas I hadn’t addressed, but I felt like it was already a bit too long. So I came up with the absolutely brilliant idea of starting another. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to discourage me by completely ignoring my posts, since I write only for the joy of writing, [Hack! Cough!]
