New to OA, what's a good way to "get into it"?

[jedidia]

We could even do something clever with bulleted links to 'additional' information that the character wouldn't read (or usually wouldn't read) but which the actual reader could follow and read if they wished.

Would you like to know MORE?

At the most basic editorial level 'clades' (or 'races and clades') are OAs answer to the aliens found in most SF

I figured as much by now, but races in SF are usually nations, which clades are not. Just saying that if you don't point that out, most people will just assume it until they figure it out.

Having again penetrated a little deeper into the setting, I think it might be unavoidable to mention pronouns in some way... It really does not seem wise in a light entry text, but damn, this whole time I was thinking "that spellchecker of theirs has the weirdest bug I've ever seen!"
