FAQ update: Gender and Pronouns
We just updated our FAQ to reflect a question we’ve been getting a lot:
Why do you guys use “s/he” or “he/she” so much when talking about each other? Why not use only gender-neutral pronouns such as “they/their”? That’s a good point. The main reason is the Narrator and I are cis-gendered. We don’t want to abuse a gender-neutral pronoun because, when we do finally reveal who we are, we don’t want to undermine a whole group of people who do use the they/their. It’s not our pronoun and we want to respect those who do identify with they/their. Though, you may see us drop a few they/theirs in the novel because English is an illogical chimera of language.
Hope this clarifies some things for you, Reader.

Our novel’s cover now has Miley Cyrus nipple pasties because why the hell not:
Yeah, so, this happened:
Miley probably doesn’t care, though.

Meno by Plato: on Daedalus and Automata
Socrates
Well, do you know why it is that you wonder, or shall I tell you?Meno
Please tell me.Socrates
It is because you have not observed with attention the images of Daedalus. But perhaps there are none in your country.Meno
What is the point of your remark?Socrates
That if they are not fastened up they play truant and run away; but, if fastened, they stay where they are.
From here.
