  1. Ha, thank you Ron. Yeah I have to admit I unintentional hid this little piece. I'm glad you found it, and yes it is important, their relationship develops to more and it can be seen here.

    For me it's always the greatest praise when my readers tell me my characters feel authentic and real; that they can relate. Thank you Percy. I'm glad you liked the whole series.

    Thank you. I love writing about people struggling with their feelings or with what life throws at them. I'm glad it worked for you.

    Thanks Sly. Do you want another chapter/story? About Mark maybe?

    Thank you Wayne. Of course you noticed that everyone had an appearance; it's the last part after all. Well maybe Mark gets something to say some time in the future, but that will be his own thing. So glad you loved it.

    Thank you Cole. I had to put a little twist into the last part, couldn't make it too easy for those two. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Thank you for your lovely comment, Ron. I always struggle with the endings of my stories and I was almost too late because of that. Reading that it worked for you and you liked how it ended is really motivating. So, should I give Mark his own story?
  8. *rubs hands* Finally time to read.

    Zugzwang

    Zugzwang Zugzwang (German for "compulsion to move", pronounced [ˈtsuːktsvaŋ]) is a situation found in chess and other games, where one player is put at a disadvantage because he must make a move when he would prefer to pass and not move. The fact that the player is compelled to move means that his position will become significantly weaker. Zugzwang most often occurs in the endgame when the number of pieces, and so the number of possible moves, is reduced, and the exact move chosen is often crit
  10. Plan A, Plan B, contingency Plan C… That is all well and good when planning a dinner party, but it has never been Paul's style outside his job. Direct approach is his default plan, and he isn't going to change that now.

    Trying to be Me

    Your message was clear as daylight, I can relate. Personally I like my poems messy, flighty, with turns and breaks, and words dancing around so I have to think 'Huh?' but that is just me. I am not a poet. I don't follow my own rules either.
  13. That was what first came in to my mind too. I don't mind chewing gum as long as they don't talk much, don't chew open-mouthed or sit in my classroom. Oh and eating with chewing gum...yuck.

    Mark

    Just found this review, sorry for answering so late.I never thought it could happen when I wrote 'The Wardrobe' but somehow I feel sorry for him too. He sneaked in and manged to become my favorite character actually. I'd like to give him his own multi-chapter story someday. For now it's just a poem. Thank you for your review Wayne.
  15. Hi Hanna! Welcome.
  16. That was a lot of routine work Abel had to do, but that is only realistic. And yes, it worked. Take after old Angus? *is curious*
  17. Someone had a plan. Lovely.
  18. Hal as in HAL 9000? I liked the image of candle flames for the crew's minds. Like Kitt I can see lots of trouble ahead and I can't wait to read about it. As a side note: I really want one of those showers now.
  19. Welcome November. Interesting name.

    So it was actually yours? You're a poet!

    Chapter 1

    I want one of those showers. That said, the story behind the blight is convincing, its impact on humanity and its gender composition promises to be an interesting background for the story. I could see the ship, was bored together with the main character as well as intrigued about his findings. The telepathy was a surprise, I'm not yet sure what to think about it. Can't wait to read the next chapter. Thanks for a sci-fi story. Yay!

    The King

    That was exactly what I wanted you to think! Thank you. Do you want romance? I haven't decided yet.

    Unexpected Turns

    Yep,cliffie! *proud* Couldn't resist. Thanks Jo Ann,

    Chapter 13

    Dragon. Yes! I love dragons. Can't believe how cool Jonas is with everything, and he has magic too? Or did I understand something wrong? Anyway good chapter but way too short. Next one please.
  25. Absolutely. Congratulations Cole!
