Okay, I'm insane
Apr. 23rd, 2004 11:31 amAs though there wasn't proof enough that I'm completely nuts, I decided last night that I need to switch Protocol from present tense into past.
Originally I'd thought I'd need to tell it all sketchbook style, like with Strategy, but as I'm doing new parts it keeps wanting to slip into a more regular narrative flow, like Pet. So rather than try to force it to be something it doesn't want to be, I'm going through and changing the tense now before I dig a bigger hole for myself. ;)
So part five when it gets posted is going to be in past tense, not present. Parts 1-4 won't be reposted, but I'll change the already existing posts to reflect the new tense.
Just so nobody scratches their head and wonders if I noticed the POV switch ;)
Oh - and I haven't changed the old posts yet, but when I do if any kind soul happens to be rereading them and notices a slip-up it would be most appreciated if you pointed it out to me so I can fix it. I'm sure I'll end up missing something.
Thanks!
