if you knocked off that "-and-counting" portion of the length.
No worries; I'm not expecting I'll have the opportunity to even try to submit it to an editor before I finish.
I would not try to sell it as a RationalFic. Sell it as a story.
Again, no worries; I only mentioned it being a RatFic to tailor my post to the audience of this particular community, and would similarly tailor it as, say, "SF" or "hard SF" to people who are more familiar with those terms.
a summary of the story.
Initial thought on a generic pitch: "Present-day guy wakes up in the future, gets turned into a talking rabbit, and tries to figure out what the bleep happened to the world while he was out."
Good luck!
Thank you kindly. :)
Keep at it.
No worries on that score - I'm already writing a novel even when I have no measurable hope of getting it on paper, and my related skills are only going to improve from here. (At least until /I/ get hit by a truck and cryo-preserved, but that's another matter... ;) )

You might already know this, but just to be sure: that there is a synopsis, not a summary.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
