One nice comment. Buncha reads with no comment - does silence generally mean "it was good, so nothing to say" or "it was mediocre/bad but I'm polite" around here? I don't know the local culture.

I was hoping to get some feedback on the story's canonicity, but nobody has said a word about that. I did my homework reading the EG and then made a few cautious extrapolations.

Also, I see that authors retain copyright. Given that, is anyone going to be annoyed if I successfully flog an OA story to an SF magazine?

Like others, meant to comment earlier on the story, but needed to spend some time reading it through and thinking about it for a bit and so haven't yet done so. Will do, though. If it's any consolation to you, I had a similar experience the last time I posted fiction. Probably, again, because people need more time to take in something like that and make a useful comment on it. It's actually much easier to provide useful feedback on an Encyclopaedia Galactica article than it is on a narrative.

I think it was already mentioned, but no, nobody would be at all disappointed if you flogged an OA story to an SF magazine. In fact, people will cheer you on... :-)
