    I found the thought of Calumnia being composted particularly delightful. You really are inspired !!! I expect most of your readers are now thinking of people they'd like to compost :-)

    I'm not surprised that Mort liked Saki's Sredni Vashtar. It's one of my favourites too. I often read it when I need cheering up.

    For me it was the most exciting first chapter I've read for a long time :-)

    I live in Market Harborough, about 14 miles South of Leicester where Richard III was buried. An old school friend of mine is a keen defender of him.

    it would be especially creepy if the robot's body were modeled on some character in mythology of fiction, and possibly not human in appearance

    Prologue

    ancientrichard commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Prologue

    I'm delighted to see this; I'd hoped we hadn't heard the last of George Granger and his friends.

    Brilliant !! You were quite right not to say what decision David made. Collapsing the wave function would have inhibited our imaginations. Perhaps David had the dream many times, and sometimes made one decision, sometimes the other and sometimes awoke without deciding.

    Possession

    ancientrichard commented on Altimexis's story chapter in Possession

    That's a very powerful story. I'd read almost all your stories on Awesome Dude before joining this site, so I haven't read much of yours here. I suspect that applies to a lot of people.

    That's a wonderful story. I'd love to read book 2 one day

    I used to have insomnia. I found it helped to keep a little book on vector calculus by my bedside. If I couldn't get to sleep I'd read through a proof of something, switch off the light, and try to go through the proof in my mind, and off to sleep I went. If vector calculus doesn't work for you, something else might.

    Most impressive, and terrifying. Thank you for posting that.
  22. ancientrichard
    good Luck :-)

    I don't think anyone should feel obliged to include characters from any particular group, whether racial or social, and what people can write about convincingly will depend on their own experience. One way to get a diversity of characters is to recruit writers from different backgrounds. Incidentally, no-one else seems to have mentioned this, but some convincing stories about men published here are written by women. Perhaps if people can write convincingly about characters of the opposite gender, they can also sometimes do justice to members of other racial groups.

    I hope the cake was delicious. Would you like to share the recipe ?

    There's no need to apologise. Inspiration can be very distracting, but if you don't follow your muse she may desert you. I look forward to reading the story when it's finished. :-))
