Could I read sections 3 and 18 please?

Since these are all very short sections that are not connected, it might be a better fit in the "short works" forum. What do you think?

You certainly may have sections 3 ad 18.


Short works is fine with me. Do we need to change the intro or anything?

Thanks,

Not at all. It's just a question where it will live while it's live and ongoing. :mrgreen:
It may attract more newbies in "Short Works" than in the "Books" though.

Sounds good to put in short works as none of the sections are really long.

Thanks for your help,
