  1. I was wondering this all through the chapter and waiting for the moment when Kevin realised Steve had uploaded the wrong video. Pleased that it turned out the way it did, thought.
  2. D’gar woke, alone again, save for Herebeth’s sleeping presence at the back of his mind. Not quite the same as having H’rek sharing his bed, but reassuring in that at least there was someone in his life who would never leave him. He could do this, he told himself. He’d coped before, after S’brin died. At least H’rek was still alive and well. At least there was the possibility, however remote it might seem right now, that he would come back. Threadfall today. A late one, which he always hated.
  3. This is really taking some unexpected turns. Can’t wait to find out what happens next? Will gran relent? Will Kevin manage to lure Jason into his room?
  4. Gran is definitely being mean. Just because she's annoyed with Daniel she's chucking Jason and Colleen out. Hopefully this was a knee-jerk reaction and she'll reconsider once she's had a chance to think about it.

    Really hope Kevin doesn't post that on YouTube.

    Decline and Fall

    Anne and Todd McCaffrey already did it in 'Sky Dragons'. I have also read a few fanfics where green dragons lay eggs as a result of not being given firestone early enough to stop this happening. I'm not sure if it's reversible - once they've had sufficient firestone bang goes the chance to breed.

    Chapter 12

    Well, I’ve caught up now and can’t wait to read more. You have a real talent for description, both of places and situations. Just hope the boys have a smoother ride from now on as they've both suffered a lot of trauma in their lives so far.

    Misunderstandings

    Very perceptive.
  9. A well written story with believable characters. I like the way you have transitioned smoothly between the present and flashbacks to what previously happened as the story develops.

    Summer Flights

    Thank you. That means a lot to me.

    I was wiping away tears as I was writing it.

    Tafelmusik

    Rita is the sort of person who has to try and change everything and everyone. She's definitely using Rick as a way to get her scheme underway, regardless of the consequences. Still, at least he's met the piano teacher again.
  13. Let's hope so. They're a good read.

    Decline and Fall

    The shadows were lengthening now; the sun slipping out of sight beyond the rim of the Bowl a little earlier each day. It was still warm, though. Summer was clinging on this Turn. All twelve of the weyrling pairs had taken their places around half way up the ancient rock fall at the far end of the Bowl. Today was the first time they’d fly on board their own dragons. Herebeth was as excited as D’gar. He’d watched his dragon perfect his flying skills alone, practising circuits and turns, take o

    A Family Visit

    I figured it was going to start fairly soon after they came forward, especially when people didn't behave in the same deferential way as they used to.

    He's a lot more approachable than F'lar generally, plus people are more inclined to talk to him.
  17. Eighth Interval/Ninth Pass History At the beginning of the Ninth Pass of the Red Star, there is only one remaining Weyr of dragons - Benden Weyr, in the north east of the continent. All of the other five Weyrs have been empty and abandoned since just after the end of the Eighth Pass, when all of the inhabitants - dragons, riders and weyrfolk - disappeared overnight. No-one knows what happened to them. Normally, Thread falls every 200 Turns. However, 400 Turns have gone by since the end of t
  18. Usual story, well thought out and with interesting and believable characters.

  19. Really interesting and well told story. I have to admit I love these kind of 'timeslip' stories. Caleb and Ben adapted really well to living in the early 20th century. I wonder if other people had made their way through that portal in other ages? I did wonder if the town doctor was going to turn out to be someone from the future as well.

    Chapter 1

    It was intended as just a one chapter short story, but you've got me thinking now...
  21. The old house stood a little way back from the main road, surrounded by a high brick wall. Joe passed it on the way to school each morning and when he walked back from the bus stop with his friends Paul and Rob in the afternoons. The iron gates had long since been wired shut, and a lopsided, graffiti-covered notice announced that trespassers would be prosecuted. 'Now that would be a cool place to go on Halloween,' Rob said. Paul agreed, but then he always agreed with Rob. Joe wasn't so s
  22. Three kids. A spooky old house. Halloween. They should have paid more attention to those horror movies.
  23. I shall watch out for small people wearing 'alien costumes' this Halloween!

    Misunderstandings

    Yes, he's listening too much to what his clutchmates have been telling him and not enough to his own heart.
  25. After visiting J’rud a second time, D’gar invited some of the Wing up to his weyr, then ordered more wine and ale for them all. He realised that he wanted H’rek to walk in and see that he was able to have a good time whether he was there or not. Yet as evening fell and it became dark outside, there was still no sign of him. Several times, he pondered asking Herebeth to bespeak Rioth, but some stubborn part of him was determined that he’d not be the one to make the first move. The argument had be
