Acts/ Dictates/ Mandates/ Mantle - Amy's Thread (Page 1 of 77)

On Horse's reappearance ... if you ever have Kha stumbling exhausted into a place of refuge, you could have Horse following him, unnoticed.  Just another way to do it.

You have several moments of pure brilliance in this, mixed with parts that are wrong.  I am still bowing in your direction because you have found your way into discovering specific parts that no one else has been able to pick out.  (so far only New Jersey and Ernie have tried, so thank you) Here's what I'll give you.  Whoever made the guildhouse is greater than Faulter.  However, the guildhouse was not created by either Behira or Saundon.  It existed before they became gods. 

Wrong parts...Airen is not Behira.  Fester is not Faulter.  Anver is not Saundon.  Zyrtec is not Zwamborn.  Remember that I don't like to write about gods.  I want the little people to shine and be the answer.  And if I turned Sosol into anything, it would be a kitten in Kajo's honor (meow)

So Saundon and Behira became gods.  Is that Faulter's goal?  Mages were almost gods, except those who became gods?  Was the Guildhouse the product of one mind and one Power, or of several?  Is it a Genius Loci, or even the embodiment of some mage who forewent apotheosis?

Why do people who serve the Horrors call them "creator"?  I have to think you're giving us a three-foot pie-in-the-face clue here.

Back to work.  I finished the revised circuit layout before noon, and spent some time on shorthand practice reading. Now I'm working on Ch. 2.  I'll do you Ch. 7 when I open the flaptop later.

I just published v2 of Chapter 8 of Dictates.  If anyone has a moment, let me know what you think.

It's on my public profile, so I believe it's accessible to you. If not, then please let me know. 

I also posted a short memoir called 'Poetry Not Missed'.  It's painless.  Only a couple hundred words.  Could you take a peek?

Is that pic next to your name a circuit diagram for the phone?  That's my best guess.

I also found some things that won't work between the timer and the flasher.  The timer turns the flasher on by supplying power to it via a MOSFET.  I forgot that the timer output is totem-pole, not open collector/drain.  Fixable, but at this point I need to rearrange some things and find the most economical way to do it.  I don't have much room left for parts and connections.  I just had a thought on simplicating it.  Write it, think it, then get to reviews.

Nope.  Poof.  Spears appear.  I made a rhyme!

Say, why did Charm/Breckin take to Slash, anyway?  And before or after Tazar had his balls?

I'm assuming it was after Charm was Charm'd?  I can't imagine Brekin and Slash seeing much in each other?  At least not much that would keep them together.

Why did Horror-Charm allow Brekin to stay with Slash?  Clearly she feels something about him, even if it's only that he can protect her.

I'm not sure now if I'm confusing different versions.  I remember Jaylene telling Sulder that Alda >destroyed< a Horror, but now the Horror resides in that mustard pot, ready to come out when Jaylene jumps in the river.  (AAaarrghhh!)

Oh, for those who see this, I'm going to post another chapter of Mantle tonight.  I'm quite pleased with myself (pats self on back) and finally completed the conversation with the priest of Saundon.  Boy was that a hard one to figure out, but so satisfying to finish!

Eh, the feeling will only last a week and then I'm going to be frustrated at my laziness again.

Once to the previous owner.  Second to the ring itself. 

A Horror can be destroyed.  You just have to assemble the right ingredients and I'm not going to make it easy :-)
