The way an alien viewpoint is introduced is so important.

The Tines are a great example of how an alien viewpoint can be evocative for a human without the narrative even acknowledging that humans exist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865524260060421873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-62106640817228031622012-04-09T08:58:37.483-07:002012-04-09T08:58:37.483-07:00Excellent.
