Default Gauging interest on a fiction project

Evening, fellow Loungers.

For the past year or so I've been plotting and scheming on what I hope to be a fairly large-scale piece of writing, very little of which has thus far been put to paper. That said, I sat down recently and hammered out the introduction for on the characters (a junior army officer). As I myself have no military experience, I'm forever in search of opinions and advice from those that have been there and done that.

So before I post what I've hammered out so far I'm curious to see if anybody would actually be interested, and also whether or not there would be any conceivable breach of board protocol in doing so; I like it here and would prefer not get booted for busting any regs.

In the meantime I can tell you that it's a dozen-odd pages, sort of an odd half-breed of western and alternate history (somewhat difficult to explain in the space here) and probably less blatantly offensive than most television, and it doesn't contain any shooting...yet. That comes later.

Any takers?

Or, inquiring of the powers that be, any objections?
