    The Right Fit

    Gary L commented on Soren Kraft's story chapter in The Right Fit

    Soren is almost playing with the readers, almost, but as @dboggs9700 says, it is the pacing of the story that is so, so good. I’m thoroughly enjoying being taken into a world I know nothing about. Well done, Soren, this is excellent stuff. Thank you

    Gary L commented on Mark Paren's story chapter in Chapter 2

    There is so much to enjoy here. The writing is an utter delight and the story is told with perfect pacing. And like the best of meals, it leaves you wanting more... A joy to read. Thank you!

    Palisades Season 2

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Palisades Season 2

    Travis’s meltdown continues at a pace. Will is evermore like his father was, win at all cost. Not a hopeful situation.

    Chapter 2

    Gary L commented on KKirk's story chapter in Chapter 2

    For me there is a surfeit of adjectives that makes it ‘over rich’. I began to tick off just how many there are. In the world of AI there is space for mere humans! a v interesting experiment. The next could be setting a test in a blog, for example, to see if we can identify human or AI. thanks

    Stunning. Beautifully written. The agony and ecstasy of Ancient Rome are captured as if in a photograph.

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Roses

    Many, many thanks Mark. When one stops and looks over the totality of this book, it is so impressive. Yet again, our greedy demands as readers are met handsomely. ps I hope the cruise went well xx

    Roses

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Roses

    And the perfidious French have just lost their football semifinal to Roses, whoops, sorry Spain! Can England deal with the duplicitous A……. ? I doubt it. 😢

    His range is incredible but sometimes he misses the target. 2024 The room next door is a masterpiece, second only to Volver. This latest one was really hard to ‘get’ but solid. The fireman working as a stripper certainly added something for @Robert Hugill to think about as a character!

    We watched his latest film last night. Not as good as his wonderful last one.

    but your illustrations are full of hair! I think I believe you but I hope I won’t have my trust in you destroyed as others did to me last year when I believed everything they said!

    Chapter 15

    Gary L commented on Mark Ponyboy Peters's story chapter in Chapter 15

    I feel a bit out of it reading the comments. I thought it was appalling. Utterly awful. great writing, of course, but I feel that schools today all over the place are no better, if not worse, than 50+ years ago when I had the shouts of poofter echoing behind me. And here in Spain my female ex colleagues all say that respect for women is less now than when they were young. Legal rights, sadly, do not equal social respect.

    Spot on! Swap the vodka for a glass of chilled white, in my case. Or two! Hic hic
