Chapter XI and the Future Subjunctive

I just published Chapter XI of Subjunctive. And I can hear some of you now:

“Nuh-uh! Errenax doesn’t know what he’s talking about! Spanish has an future subjunctive!”

Before you leave your angry comment to complain and to express your displeasure at the lack of scientific rigor in my My Little Pony fan fiction, let me say that I knew that Spanish has a future subjunctive and wrote the chapter as you see it now anyway. And here are my reasons for doing so:

1. This isn’t Spain.

2. Spanish's future subjunctive is archaic.

3. Subjunctive is not a textbook or scientific paper; Subjunctive is a work of science-fiction. As a science-fiction writer, I extend, romanticize, proclaim, glorify, extrapolate, and exaggerate scientific concepts in order to construct drama and plots.

4. If you take a changeling’s word at face-value, you’re going to have a bad time.

That’s all. I hope you enjoy the new chapter.
