Cast in Silence Chapter, and a question

Because it's the first of July, and it's Canada Day, I've posted the first chapter of the upcoming Cast in Silence on my web-site. Which can now be reached at www.michellesagara.com, (ETA: apparently, this doesn't work as a page-line in LJ, but does work if I cut and paste it. I don't know why. But: the website is here) but is still the same wordpress site it's always otherwise been. It's tucked away in the Chronicles of Elantra side-bar, under the Cast in Silence entry.

Okay, and now, the question.  Well, first the preamble (because of course I can't ask a question without a lot of preamble).

Well, actually some pre-preamble. This question was lifted in its entirety from what I just posted on the web-site, and if you've read it already, there is nothing new here, and I apologize. This actually brings up another point: I'm now (mostly reading) Twitter, Facebook, LJ and my usual RSS feeds. One thing that makes me crazy is the people who post to Twitter and then repost what they've written on Twitter to every other feed. Which shouldn't bother me. I've taken to watching only the Twitter, or only one of their various sites, if they do this, though, because I don't need to read the same thing four times, no matter how interesting it was the first time. So. I'm happy to read anything once. I hate to read it multiple times. And, of course, I'm posting almost the exact same thing (minus this small rumination) on two sites.

You may throw fruit now. Hopefully you will be as bad an aim as I am.
