YOU had your chance. Fame flys El Scoffo

Really: Cane is going away! NO!

Chapter 9 is up. Oh yeah.

Anyone picking up this thread on Monday morning and not looking at earlier Posts, Chapter 1-6 have been significantly altered. A re-read is recommended...

Having stayed up 'til 7 this morning writing, chapter 10 is now up. Amazing what you can get done when your girlfriend is out of town.

BTW, as always feedback, typos, inconsistencies and speculations about the direction of the plot are always welcome by PM or email.

Chapter 11 is underway...

D, don't read anything into the lack of posted reactions. First of all, it's the weekend. Things are usually slower around here on the weekend. Wait till Monday and people start getting back into and reading the forum. Second, you stated you did pretty much a rewrite of the exsisting sotry, so it's going to take some time for people to reread it and get accuainted with the characters again. It's hard to read 9 chapters all in a sitting, so it may take a few days.

But it's great to see you getting back to the story. I have been missing it, and I know others have as well.

Thanks Geo. I'm aware of all those things and I'm not nagging. Well... not much. Besides, if I can make ppl wait 3 months for the next chapter, the least I can do is let them read it in their own time.

Still, I'm really getting excited about this. There are some really cool bits coming up...

You are forgetting to add the links to the new chapters on the main page, btw. Right now you have to go into chapter 8 and & use the 'next chapter' link to get to 9 and 10.

Maybe it's a hint to do something

*Bump*

OK, it's Monday night. Am I allowed to bump it yet? I'm not? OK.

*Un-BUMP*

Hmm, my PC doesn't seem to be un-bumping. Must have the wrong driver installed. Never mind...

Thanks Baron. Fixed now.

Dammit I hate it when I do three Posts in a row, especially in my own thread! It makes me look like a right sad muppet.

I've just finished writing chapter 11, but I won't be posting it now because it's late and I'm too tired to put it into HTML.

Anyway, there are things I'd like your opinions about:
-Early in the story ppl said that Othaglot was useless and Cane was doing all the clever stuff. Has that been turned around now? I want it to swing back and forth.

- Did Cane's "Pretend Diplomat" revelation make you lose respect for him? Did you even notice it? Does he seem more like a rounded character now he has a few weaknesses?

-Is there too much emphasis on "background knowledge?"

- Is there anything at all in the story that's confusing or nonsensical or unrealistic?

It's really hard for me to read the story myself and answer these questions, but if I can get some answers from you lot I'm sure I'll be able to make the story a good one. I'd really appreciate it if anyone who has read it so far could comment on the above points.

Thanks very much.
