[DL] Dead Presidents: The Author's Cut Now Available

["Mr. Christopher McGlothlin, M.Ed." <sosentinel@adelphia.net>]

Hello again,
         Here's a repost of the DP:TAC info, for those of you who are 
interested--and thanks very much to you good people for that!
         Despite what it says below, everyone who already sent something to 
the List today is NOT subject to ridicule (because I say so, that's why!:-) 
), and should already have copies on the way to them.

>all the never-before-seen "alternate takes", with pointers as to where they
>appeared in the original draft's storyline. This is NOT a complete version
>of either the original or published versions, so you need to own a copy of
>DP already to make any sense of it.
>          As I've said before, the printed version of DP is way better, so I
>make no guarantees you won't read the file and say, "Man, did that SUCK!"
>Shane's a far better writer than me, and this file proves that beyond doubt.
>          Everything in the file is For Marshals Only, so players need not
>apply. If you are a player and lie to me about it, I hope your Marshal
>kills your character and your little dog, too.
>          If you still want to see a copy of the file, respond to me
>PRIVATELY at the email address above, and please tell me where you want the
>file sent. Requests sent directly to the Listserver will NOT be honored,
>and will be roundly and unmercilessly ridiculed, both here and on the OT list.

>          As a courtesy, once you've read it, please tell me (private mail
>or Listserver) what you thought of it. This material didn't make the cut,
>and I need to know from someone not as enamored of it as I am how I can
>make my future work better. All I ask is that you be honest and forthcoming
>in your appraisals--"shoot" with me, in other words, just like the
>Honourable Mr. Spence did.
>          (If you fail to do so, I reserve the right to show up at your
>house, late at night, while I'm loud and drunk.)

>          I am going to bed now. When I wake up and check my mail later this
>afternoon, I will begin honoring requests, unless a more sensible person
>talks me out of embarassing myself thusly. Until then, thanks to everyone
>for your support and interest, with special thanks to Shane for letting me
>show this material.
