Buy a second copy and carve a two-bedroom apartment out of it

I know a *lot* of people who didn't know the prologue existed, or thought it was an edited-down version of the first episode released early to build hype, or thought you were supposed to watch it after the show finished.

The message that it's the actual first episode seems to have gotten lost

Yeah.

I won't say "if I try again I don't want 'son' on my tombstone" was my *primary* motivation for coming out, but...it was there

It might not usually be stated quite so bluntly, I suppose, but I think a lot of minorities get the same treatment

Which, yeah, seems to just be a kinda failure mode for some people: "If these people won't sacrifice themselves to help me then they deserve to be sacrificed"

The good news is that the story is also officially up on Ao3 (archiveofourown.org/works/353945...)

I know work's being done to get the second (and first) book published with a new publisher, but I don't think there's been anything official announced there.

Hmm, might be worth checking who the listed publisher is, as the original publisher, Neem Tree, was bought out by Boundless/Unbound, who went bankrupt (twice), and so won't be fulfilling pre-orders.

why did I have to do better critical analysis on what started as an act of domestic violence my abusive ex was doing to me only to be mostly fucking ignored about the larger implications until the pedo web ring blew up
