Of course I forgot again to announce earlier that I reviewed Jube's  Chapter 26 Another World? .

I will try to do a few chapters from other people in the next couple of hours.

War, Toys, and Beyond?
Cosmic Commisary?

More info: it appears,that I'm locked out of a,review I did on Rebecca Vaugn's Book V Chapter 19.

Fan fiction, eg. Star Trek pastiches written by Star Trek fans.

With regard to technology in Krudges, the tapestry of advanced technology can play different roles at different points.  It may be an integral part of the plot.  It may be background or milieu.  It may be an immediate part of the setting, or a commonplace of the characters' day to day life.

Whatever role it plays at a particular point, that role will shape how you insert it and present it in the narrative.  If you set a story in ancient China, as van Gulik did with his Judge Dee mysteries, you'll bring the elements of the setting  in to support and enhance the story, choosing when to describe and when to just throw the effect in front of the reader.

My point is that tech can (and I think, should) fit into the story like any other culture/milieu/setting element.  You're inventing a world but your reader is prepared to accept info about the world in the same old way.

Maybe 'crafty look' is too long and tells the reader too much?

K, this is for you.

A lot of people may be heavily committed in recip relationships.  If they look at your work and decide they have nothing to offer it, they might choose not to waste your time as well as theirs.

That's the page I mean.  Have the unread reviews line double for unreplied when there are none unread.  Maybe turn the icon orange, too.

I may spend two hours on either a review or a reply.
