Part of the Rocking Hard anthology from Less Than Three Press.
For writings that appear on the Internet, I use three periods for an ellipsis, two dashes for an em dash, etc. I do this because I've experienced the horror of a converter not being able to read smart quotes or common punctuation marks, which has turned my documents into so much unreadable garbage with that strange spade/question mark symbol everywhere. So to maintain readability no matter the format, I leave the auto correct off when I'm writing for the web.

The book vs the movie
I realize that there is a lot of controversy over this movie, mostly to do with Orson Scott Card's insistence on sharing his personal views with the world. I try to ignore author wank, but some of the things he's done in recent years have really offended me. Still, I am of the belief that a book and its author should be judged separately, and as a piece of art, Ender's Game is a great story.
