Re: Acts/ Dictates/ Mandates/ Mantle - Amy's Thread
You declare your sturdiness, but you haven't responded to my last couple of reviews. Am I pounding you too hard?

I like to think that I make K pound a wall or shake his fist at the sky. Everyone needs a place in the world.
I answered your posts, NJC. Finally. Bad Amy! Bad Amy!

I think any newcomers reading this will be slightly worried about being pounded hard, reduced to tears and or pushed into a fit of rage ... LOL, thanks for making it so much easier for the rest of us to look like the "nice guys" around here *grins an evil grin while searching frantically for my own differentiating factor*

You write about sex, Janet. You absolutely have a niche.

You review all of K's attempts to match your skills at writing sex. You have a reviewing niche. If you want, I'll go into the list of why I enjoy your reviews. I just haven't thought that you needed that. The fact that I'm your fan should speak for itself.

Don't even think of removing Alda's qualifying fight with Griffon. You've already set up the skylight bit in it. Use it for other set-ups, and to reveal info (like Tazar and the catacombs).
The only reason to consider removing it is if it actually contradicts something.
Anyway, would Jaylene have let Alda wear Airen's robe down into the tunnels?

Skylight.
Behira and Alda.
Alda's fighting technique.
Alda's dislike of serious fighting, and the fury that will follow when she is forced into it.
That's for starters.

I got home from picking a few things (well, a few boxes of things) from my mother's effects at 04:10 and found a message on my answering machine. My apartment nightmare has just reawoken. I had a re-inspection by the landlord today, and I left word about arriving late. It's been moved to tomorrow.
I may be toast, and I need to get more sleep now.

Once I'm done with Rocket Baby, unless Alda and Tazar get busy, my "niche" will not be needed around here so much. *sad face* But I'll come up with something, don't fear! Something just as cool as making people cry (but not my #1 fan)! *happy face*
Seriously, you're not wrong - I don't need that list (maybe one day, but not yet). But I still appreciate this! And right back at ya!
Fan, did you see that K?! *sticks tongue out to K*

What do you mean ... toast. It doesn't sound good at all njc. Is this because you have extra boxes around from your mother? Speaking of your mum, I can't type my exact thoughts regarding the timing of this re-inspection ... honestly, consideration and understanding are really scarce these days. Will a month or so really make such a massive difference? Your idiot landlord is on my list of people I don't like a lot as in don't like AT ALL.

I haven't read it (soon), but so far I have to agree with this - keep the fight (I could be bias wanting more Alda air time). I understand where K is coming from, but I don't think there is anything wrong with some of the threat already being eliminated - the threat of the Horror's creator is in my opinion the biggy, so if I've read about that "in a book", I'd say it's taking the easy way out.
(I could also misunderstand this whole thread ... it's never beneath me to be totally confused and clueless)

No, it's not good. I lost four or five days with my mother in HER last days over this. The LL will say I should keep things neater and throw more out, but the part with the State of NJ was a snipe hunt.
Still working. I'll get no sleep, get reamed out and need to call a lawyer, and have to drive into the city as well.

The fight is with a training master to see whether Alda has the fighting skills to accompany Jaylene on the next stage of her mission.

Re: Acts/ Dictates/ Mandates/ Mantle - Amy's Thread
Keeping the fight. I'm debating writing out of order for a few chapters. I've got one of the fight scenes in the Catacombs in my head and it won't go away. That is the reason for the delay in posting the next one. I'm being distracted!

Re: Acts/ Dictates/ Mandates/ Mantle - Amy's Thread
The point I'm trying to make with writing from Taz-man's PoV is that the narrator's voice and topic flow should reflect Tazar's own. Pulling that off adroitly is post-doc work and I think you can do it.
