Quote: It's always good to have the laundrymat looking out for you. Usually that just means getting the starch levels right, but I guess some places are more full service.I felt that since I'd thrown them in at the start of the story I needed to give them a nod near the conclusion. Quote: An entertaining scramble to the finish line! I was glad to see the new almost legionnaires make an appearance in this... I had noticed some mention of Champagne's family before, but wasn't expecting the thief herself.I was feeling guilty that I'd omitted characters whose posters had previously expressed a desire to have involved. I don't know if Champagne or JJJ is reading right now but I didn't want them to feel left out. That said, I agree with Shrike's criticism of the story. I'm not happy with it now. Quote: The CSFB action was impressive, especially for how much was conveyed in such a short story segment. It was really a neccessary mopping up of unfinished plot thread. Quote: I also enjoyed the only threat that would work on shrike... exposure to more Dancer. If only the Bush administration had thought of that tactic, I bet we could have emptied Guantanamo long ago.I was struggling with an outcome that didn't have Shrike going to jail or escaping scot free. I considered omitting the scene altogether and showing Hatty taking down the funeral parlour but I thought I'd get more humour out of a Hat/Shrike confrontation. I figured the Dancer threat (and being gypped on his expenses by the WNC) would give an out to Shrike to pass on the info, since as a merc he usually wouldn't blab. Quote: As for Hallie's body heat, that's a story for another time... Still nice to see Urthula though.It's an overdue story for another time. Quote: Looking forward to the big finish!The big finish is going to have to wait, I think. Life has just come back and jumped on me and I'm not really in a mood for creative writing. | |||||||
