Othaglot & Cane: A quick poll.

[dogscoff]

OK, to satisfy my girlish vanity and hopefully to snag a few more readers from all these moo3 refugees, I'm setting up a poll.

I'd be really interested to know how many people are actually reading my Othaglot & Cane story, so if you are please take part.

If you haven't heard of it, it's a piece of Space Empires fan fiction, published chapter by chapter as I write it on my website. It's a rollicking tale of interstellar murder, mystery, betrayal, intrigue, espionage, more betrayal, conspiracy and politics. Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, big unexpected explosions, reckless drinking and (in the best Enterprise tradition) a gratuitous alien shower scene.

Unlike most fanfic which tell stories at the imperial level, this one focusses more on the personal level and tries to explore the society and mindset of the future. I'm really hoping to achieve some character development, but without completely ignoring the political scope of the SE universe.

BTW, if you want to skip straight to the shower scene it's in Chapter 13.

No option for me:
"I've heard of it and will read it later, not so into detective stories but as it is SE IV and Sci Fi I will still read it as soon as I get time.
So keep on writing. Don't you dare stop!"

If there was such an option I would choose that.

Girlish vanity???

Gee, I always assumed you were a guy!

[dogscoff]

Thanks Ruatha. I'll note you down as an "I started reading it but couldn't keep up." - it's not quite the same but it's closest.

Some one has selected the "what are the courier stories?" box. I'll answer that question now:
The courier stories are a series (well, two so far) of light-hearted, one-off short stories designed to accompany the O&C narrative. They have no bearing on the plot whatsoever, but they are set in the same universe and so help to flesh out the locations and culture that O&C live in.

They're on my webpage too. Click the banner.

I am, but as soon as I start thinking of myself as "creative" in any way I suddenly become prone to hysterical fits of drama-queen style self-recrimination and morose navel-staring. As a result I sometimes I need copious and utterly unjustified lavishings of praise and reassurance, hence this thread=-)

Big dawg:
The Othaglot and Cane and the Courier stories have destroyed all my hopes and aspirations of becoming a SEIV fan-fiction writer. Hell would freeze over before I could top what you are writing. Keep up the good work

I read and enjoy everything you write. As far as stories go!

Isn't it stupid how you have to vote in your own poll to view the results?
