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

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

         Here's a repost of the Original Author's Cut deal from way back in 
June '01, for those who are interested:
>Good morning,
>         I've been up all night, but the portions of Dead Presidents that 
> didn't make it into the final draft are now ready to be seen. If you're 
> interested, here's what you get: an RTF file (16KB zipped, 48KB not) with 
> 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.
