Well, Since I am the one who wrote it I can do what ever I want with the wording
now.
Just so everyone knows I am in the process of writing a Handbook on a style of
Klingon Martial Art. I want to have complete development from history, customs,
and then eventually techniques. I would like to have to versions or a combined
version (like Hamlet). A Klingon Version that would be like the manual (yes it
would be on-line) given to new students and a Klingon Academy. And an English
version that would be given to Federation peoples trying to learn this art.
This is going to take time and energy on my part but I am in a race with about
10 other people, to get a good book and send it to Pocket Books.
At the very least I will have a nice manual, like I said, for giving at
conventions, and seminars.
