Excerpts from mail: 18-Oct-95 Re: Ego by Bert Van Vliet@sentex.ne 

Hi there!

Uh, hi.

Um, yeah, I wrote myself into the story.  So I have a big ego.  Oh well.

Plenty of my friends show up too, though.  :)

This is a problem?  Writing yourself into the story?   ;)

If no one sees it as one, I guess not.  8-)

Anyway, I had my reasons for doing that.  I based the "intro" chapter of
it (part six, Memories) on a fictionalized series of events here at
Carnegie Mellon U.  Supposedly, I stumbled across things I wasn't supposed
to, and the wrong people found out.  Ten years later, I had gathered
together a group of close friends to crew the ship with, because Earth
was just getting worse and worse.  Anyway, if you're reading the story,
let me know what you think.  :)
