Wonderful! The sense of being on campaign comes through so strongly and his attachment to his faithful horse. I was as much blindsided by the ending as Oliver would be.

Prompts Second Chance Prompts #509 & #511
northie commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Writing World
Poor Parker's already getting fed up of me sending him chapters of various things for him to edit / beta read. One of them at least should start posting soon. -
Happy birthday to you, ... Have a wonderful day, Gary!

Prompts Second Chance Prompts #509 & #511
northie commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Writing World
I'm going to have to ban myself from looking at anymore prompts. I've already got three stories in various states of incompleteness and now (thanks to this entry) I have another one floating round my head. -
Thanks AC, for your usual thoughtful, perceptive comments on my story. As people lose their right to privacy (voluntarily or otherwise) they fear the hold that others can have over them. I love those EM Forster short stories that I've read - I must go in search of this one. And indeed, the Black Mirror ...

I loved it! I don't read much sci-fi but when I do, I like it to be well-written and believable (within its own limits). To also include a romance as well .... A Part 2 would be nice. Please, pretty please.

I only tinkered round a few of the edges. I really like both - I thought initially I'd prefer the first, but my favour has now gone to the other. the cold, gaunt-fingered horizon is a line that speaks very clearly to me today. The weather being particularly cold and bright.

A love story which perhaps many people wouldn't approve of. But it's warm, real and mutual (within a bdsm framework) and it is far, far preferable to Lev's 'home' life, the violence of which is sickening. A very good, thought provoking tale. Thanks, tim!

What a great read. I love how much thought you put into creating the world / background for our two heroes. I was intrigued by the sexless pronouns which mysteriously disappeared just as Angel was getting interested in Imp - very cleverly done. Your promised sequel will be eagerly awaited by this reader.

Christmas is a time for taking in waifs and strays but the generosity and thoughtfulness displayed towards TP is stunning yet utterly believable. For all that, he is still on the periphery of the celebrations and where better place to see all that he should be and perhaps may once have been. A wonderful, wonderful chapter.

It can be fun writing bad guys, sometimes at least. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Def.
-
I don't think he's someone deserving of sympathy. But still, I share your unease at the summary justice he's going to face. Thanks for your thoughtful review.

Thanks, skinny. I have several other things cooking.

Oh dear, my secret's out. It certainly gave me 'synth' but they do it oh so much better than me ...
-
I love it when I get side-tracked. I discover all sorts of things, like this wonderful little tale. Made me smile and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Happy birthday, Adi! Only the best people are born in November ...
-
Thanks, Emi. I'm glad you found it fun - it was fun to write, as well.
-
'Comeuppance' is a wonderful word and pretty much describes what happens to him. Glad you enjoyed it.
-
Dear friend, if it wasn't for your gentle persistence there would be no story. I'm glad you still enjoy it.
-
Thanks, Gary for your generous praise. I'm glad it made you chuckle, even if it was at him and not with him (as was my original intention).
-
No pressure, then ... And you're my first follower as well. I'm very pleased you enjoyed my first offering.
-
Thanks, Drew! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure what's going to be next up.

Thank you for being my first reviewer. When I started writing this, I thought it would be humourous and quite light. As it progressed it darkened, but at least he got what he deserved in the end.

“Privacy!” The walls of the room became a little more opaque. It was a pain to take his feed off-line as it seemed to attract hackers like sharks to fresh blood. However, these new model synths were rumoured to be very quick to detect offence or criticism. He didn't want the hassle of a complaint before he could effect certain alterations (not approved by the manufacturer). He was the only one who was going to be complaining today. “Call Synthuserve.” While he was waiting for the house to

Collection of stand-alone prose prompts and other shorts. Quick bites, in other words. A tasty snack or two.
