My apologies for the lack of posting this week...
School, life and *gasp* reality caught up with
me again...
I did take the extra few minutes to check out
your additions, Anthony. As always, stellar
job, and another presing reason for myself to
stop procrastinating and take pictures of my
chapters for once!

I hope this isn't a harbinger for any rash
actions to come...remember, every artist
is going to have their set of critics...the
best thing is to shrug off the illegitimate
complaints and concentrate on positive
suggestions...
Remember when I posted chapter four of
Anachronistic Skies and got a whole
lot of 'Err...that's not making any sense'
questions...

My advice would be to step back, take
a deep breath and ignore any statements
of malice...reading the comments about
your story on slashdot, most of them seem
to be written by 'anonymous cowards', and
half of them having little or nothing to
do with your story gives me the impression
that the site has little credibility to
start with.
To get some viable opinions, you might want
to bring this to a writer's forum.
I'm not an authority on writing either,
and I bet a lot of my stories make little
sense to the average person, so take my
comments as you see fit. Hmm...but speaking
of Tolkein, maybe your predicament is one
of the reasons I have abstained from reading
his works...I just don't want to risk it...

Hmm...well, I'm just going to propose a theory...
maybe the geeks at slashdot have a different
interpretation than most normal people would,
that being of hatred towards anything they
wouyld preceive to infringe on their interests.
So someone has an imagination to write and
they dont...it's part jealousy, part acrimony,
and mostly immaturity. If they can't justify
one good reason why they feel your work cannot
perform up to par on writing or implementation,
I would personally disregard their argument
immediately.

That's the fighting spirit! Keep at it!

And I've done so, many times...

No problem...I just hope you
found my comments (somewhat) useful.
