If your books ever get published, they'll be best-sellers just because so many people are familiar with the characters. Without being published, you've introduced your creations to the world.

Just because of this post, I went ahead and *printed* the whole thing, all 65 pages of it, because I don't think I could be comfortable sitting before a screen while reading it all. I've read parts, skimmed through, but now I realize I'd better read it all from end to end. It'll be a while until I can start playing GOAT, but until then, I'd better read up on the background story.
