I haven't read the story, but damn, that's cool. I like the question about, I guess, the ethical and pragmatic way to deal with people losing or gaining time relative to each other. The planet-wide slowdown is awesome but surely resource-intensive, although if they can shoot people-templates around at c, they've clearly got resources.
I USED to live in almost-the-woods with super fast internet access as a young penguin, but then other people bought plots next to us and built houses and now my parents have neighbors, boo. It was the dream for a while. Ugh, your idyllic childhood! So jealous! I always had distant-but-visible neighbors (not enough trees), and we still had dial-up when I started internetting. I didn't discover fanfic till after we got DSL, fortunately.
Let's hope it's over soon and everyone can go back to wanking about whether Shen Wei is best characterized as the hero or the heroine of a bodice ripper or whatever. Agree! I think Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan are both the heroine and they should rip each other's bodices. Fite me. :P
