[Fiction] [X-Over] What I end up writing when I should be doing something else...
 
#16
Well, kind of? A lot of the story-as-written (I've got about another 2,000 words at this point) is a pastiche of The Martian's epistolary style. I'd toyed with the idea of doing the idea straight but handwavium tech moots a lot of the man-vs-inhospitable-planet struggle that makes The Martian compelling, and stripping Jade of that edge, well... it just turns into The Martian, and there's already a perfectly good one of those, you know?
