Your source needs a swift kick in the arse, lovely, but I won't let them hurt you for passing along the message.

It's warm under here. :D

Let's just forget this issue, okay? I regret saying anything, and that IMO is very bad since the whole point of this thread is to throw around ideas. I didn't mean to trigger any conniptions, here.

And the anonymous source was NOT me, in case anyone's wondering. I was completely satisfied with how well our collective project has been running since LC returned to the fold.

From this point on, I won't pass along any more messages. That's the job of the dissatisfied. No more starting complaint threads way over in Story Feedback where nobody can see, but right here if you can discuss like an adult without resorting to character slander and name calling.

Nahhhh there won't be any 'kill the messenger' around here. You too valuable an asset to kill. :rose:
 
Aurora. . . .:kiss: :rose: I am not planning on Killing the Messanger. . .You did nothing wrong. The person needs to post here and whine. I'm sorry if I blew up and you took it as a direct assault on you, it wasn't. It was to the one you had to deal with. :rose: I hope you know that. :rose: My apologies and yeah, the subject is dropped for me too. I'm going to continue enjoying myself and eat my one bombs for it. :rose:
 
What Passes Between Ch 3 is FallingtoFly's latest posting in her so far non-erotic novel of death, hope and enchantment. I found it hauntingly beautiful, but the first few public comments found the use of magic too "deus ex machina". In a story with ghosts from ch 1, I think that criticism is rather harsh. FtF has an elegant style suited to her material. Again, she mixes dialogue and description seamlessly, creating a flow and painting a scene rather than dragging the reader along a tedious journey. The beginning did jump in a bit quickly for any new readers, but since this is billed as chapter 3 in a novel, they are fairly warned. My other quibble is that the 'one Lit page' chapters could be aggregated into longer chunks. They would still be digestible, but would not leave the reader with that 'waiting for the main course' emptiness. I hope she spices up the story with some sex, not because Lit is a place for erotica, but because I like her characters and think they need to get laid. Every writer should read this even just as an examplar of technique.

Thank you, sirhugs, for the review. I saw the public comments (and the score, lol) this morning when I woke up and was a little bummed, but your review perked me right back up. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I writes em as I seees 'em. Early scores can be misleading. This is great stuff. But, seriously, all the sadness.. these peoiple deserve sex . Redemption , ya know. Though maybe I'm projecting. not that anyone near to me died. Just all my love....

I doubt there will be any sex- you'll start seeing why very shortly. Hopefully the creepy factor will eliminate the very thought of sex, and draw people into the story for the sake of the writing and the characters, not a little bump and grind.

crepy just makes me think of sex more, sorry ( the goriest movies always make me the horniest. I SO wanted Jessica Biel after watching Texas Chainsaw.) And I'd prefer a lot of bump and grind ....
 
My reviews will be slow in coming today. But I'll do my best to get some up. I'm fighting a nasty cold and can barely focus right now. Fever, stuffy nose and can't breathe. I'm only up checking emails and had to post one thing and then this before I head back to rest up. If I can't get reviews done today then I'll review today's stuff tomorrow and add it to the list. Sorry :rose: :kiss: (This is what happens when kids go back to school - - - though I think Hubby brought this home with him. :rolleyes: But he probably got it from someone with kids! :rolleyes: )
