    I choose the book.

    Okay, I have a clearer picture now. I once had a tough situation at my job and my negative emotions showed up in parts of a piece I was writing at that time. Those parts were not well received because readers couldn't relate to the harsh words, understandably. What you can do: a) give up on the piece entirely, b ) write the piece, put it aside for a considerable amount of time, then edit and tone down, c) change the name of the character and the setting in order to detach yourself while writing the piece, put it aside, then edit and rewrite. Never publish the story shortly after writing it.

    I need a connection with my characters, too, the good and the bad ones. I once wrote a villain. He was hard to write because I hated all he did. I finally decided to punish him in the end and until then just follow his ways. This helped a lot to free my writing. My villain actually surprised me with his level of intrigue. He got his punishment in the end, although he would have liked to get away. I actually pitied him.

    OMG, so many good questions and I'm afraid I can't answer them. I wrote this story many years ago. It was reposted here at some time. It was an early attempt at writing a longer story and I have probably not fleshed it out properly and left out many details and background information. Sorry about this. Many thanks, however, for your interest in my story and your detailed feedback. It will remind me to have a closer look at the plot of any future stories of mine.

    False Flag The platform was located at the edge of the Eridani system. The artificial structure had once served as a hub for interstellar space travels and was still monitored by the Eridani monitoring system. No activities had been observed for decades and the monitoring data showed no activities on the platform in the previous days either. The final signals of the missing ship, however, pointed to the long deserted platform. The spaceship with the Orean ambassador on board never arr

    Thank you, aditus. I planned to write a story on ashes, but I'm certain I won't find the time to ever write it. So, feel free to 'borrow' my poem.
