Back from the meeting. The good news is that no matter what happens from here on in, I now own a piece of the show in perpetuity. I asked everyone to take a month off, to gather comments from people who saw the show, send everything to me, yay and nay, so that I can put it all in one document categorized in columns of things that people thought worked and things that people thought didn't work. The next draft of this show is going to go through a big change with many characters going away, plot points coming from characters we're actually interested in, and more focus on the things that actually work. Everything that is not germane to the story is going away - I will be merciless about it.
