By way of [livejournal.com profile] yhlee, a meme that looks like fun to me:

Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted [note: "posted" seems to be geared towards fanficcers, so let's go with "submitted to magazines"], the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

***Please do not use any titles you do not want me to seriously run with. I don't guarantee I will seriously run with anything. But this sort of thing sometimes makes my brain go and go.

I think the biggest problem with this one was trying to get across how pragmatism and the other kind of pragmatism were in tension in most of the Oort Cloud when my setting was one station and three small ships. But I dearly wanted to write it because I keep trying to get a handle on the way this Oort Cloud setting goes in my head, and I only got a chip of it in "Things We Sell to Tourists" and am not ready to tackle Eleven Words for Home yet.
