for participating, and for talking through the critters' remarks. I'm a sucker for this kind of thing, so I'll probably write something for the next one. Post-November sounds like a good time frame.

And let's be honest: I'm one of the critters doing the remarking.

Is well done and good job.  I enjoyed your story and look forward to reading your novel when it is finished.

If I ever get published, I'm sure I'll crow about it here.

I know you caught some flack for the way CW spoke in the porn parlor, but I thought it was spot on for the character.

I did? by Christopher Robin was Murdered (2.00 / 0) #7 Thu Nov 08, 2007 at 04:32:32 PM EST
At some point, I think I stopped paying attention. There was just so much flack, you know?

Oh, and a super-sized congrats for being the first two-time winner!

well done by Kellnerin (4.00 / 1) #8 Thu Nov 08, 2007 at 08:57:13 PM EST
I didn't actually come away from "Spike" with the feeling that it'd been cut out of something bigger. I did feel like there was a bigger world that it was set in than we got to see, but that's a good thing, not a strike against. I was perfectly happy with the slice of that world we got, but I'd also love to read your novel when you're ready to have people read it.

I suspected you for the author -- or rather, knowing you were in, it was the most likely candidate to be yours -- but felt that if it was you, you were off your game with regards to dialogue. I appreciate that you had the usual expositionary technobabble challenges, but I expect you to rise above it, and unlike a TV show, dialogue doesn't have to carry the whole weight of exposition. Maybe in more than 2500 words you could have carried it off.

I'm totally in for WFC8. After WFC4, I figured that between post-NaNo and pre-Solstice-holiday season, the next one ends up in early January. But whenever you open up the next round, I'm looking forward to it.

More words by 2 plus 3 equals 5 (4.00 / 1) #9 Thu Nov 08, 2007 at 11:37:21 PM EST
Thanks. Yeah, maybe more words would have made the dialog less exposition. I can see one place right off where I should have done it the other way.

Give me a year on the novel. The last one took eight months, but it was set in the real world. This one requires more thought on the rules, although I have the general problem and plot in mind.
