I just tracked down your stories, and must say I'm impressed with your work.  You show the stresses and strains of adjusting to the changes quite believeably, in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing your talent.

There are few things that are said here that I feel I must actively disagree with (especially with regards to my stories).  Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and it is not up to me if you like my stories or loathe them...there’s plenty out there that I don’t like and on the whole I tend keep my gob shut.  However at this point I feel it necessary to jump in and say something about Lynn’s “Putting the record straight” below this comment...IT’S NOT TRUE...the record was straight as it stood and I will be having serious words with Lynn about this self deprecating attitude.  Credit goes where credit is due and Lynn you were due some credit :-) so just accept it ;-)

Again many thanks for all your time and efforts Lynn (she also came up with some of the better bits),

Just a note to thank Hypatia for the kind comments and to set the record straight that the real magic is Hypatia's ability to magically transport me to these wonderful places and get to know some wonderful people that inspire me to be better.

I notice that Hypatia hasn't contributed anything for a while. While whatever is added is worth waiting for, I hope that this is not the last!

Hi Hypatia,
          I was telling Maggie Finson how much I enjoyed "Mea Culpa" and "Puppy Walking" and she said I was in for a treat with "A Fistful Of Dragons".
When I left chat one at midnight I thought I would take a quick look before bed, yep got to bed at 3 am LOL, anyway, just finished it and as usual Maggie was right :)
Wonderful story, brilliantly written, thanks so much and thank you for letting me know more Yedda is on the way.
Hugs, Chris.

One quibble: "hoard" is spelled correctly. Too bad it does not mean "horde," a throng or swarm. Hoard does mean a hidden or stored fund, or cache.

Nice story, but isn't Yedda really an accountant somewhere in England? What will happen to her? Can two personalities exist in the same world?

I liked your story very much, it was interesting, and one of the best I've read. Especially liked how the character of Cyrena is developing through out the story and how he/she adapts to situations. Waiting eagerly for the next installment

I reread your really good story again, hoping that you will give us some more of this incredible story. You should be writing books, and I would buy them, you are a really good story teller!! Thank you for your great writing

I Love this story!!!!! Yedda rules!!! I can't wait for the next chapter. You should send copys of your work so far to a director, like James Camron, or something, and make a few bucks while your enlightening my world. BRING ON THE DRAGONS!!!!!

I like your style of telling this story, although i was surprised that the drow and elves were not i believed was (well i think that is your suprised).

This story is just so great! The characters are so well developed and Yedda had me laughing so hard I was in tears. Can't wait to read the rest.

Luvvin it, Stephie C.

Comment by Fuzzy on 07/18/01
This story is so cool!  It might arguably be the best you've written.  It's definitely lighter in mood than your previous works.  And Yedda, wow.  Major potential show-stealer.  She's great comic relief; maybe you could write a side-story just about her.  

Storyline is very interesting, as usual.  Grammar is, as you mentioned, better too, and in no way detracts from enjoying the enfolding plot.  What makes my mind boggle is how you manage to crank out so many vast alternate worlds in such a short period of time.  Not only that, but you define each character's personality and make them special, all the while keeping the story moving along relatively smoothly.  

You brought up a good point: with so many good stories started, it will be hard to remember all that had happened before, as you introduce new chapters.  This just means we'll have the pleasure of reading your works over and over again, unless you'd be gracious enough to provide us with an appendix or something similar?  Maybe a short summary, at the beginning of each new episode, of what occurred before.

As Cathy_t_ and/or other people have noted, proper grammar is a minor point, as long as the readers have a clear picture of what you want to show them.  You paint a story as equal (or so close the difference is insignificant) as those found in bookstores, maybe even more so.  I can't see any blaringly obvious errors to correct, and I offer that your title seems somewhat appropriate, although a "fistful" might imply more than one.  Is Yedda and Cyrena going to have more companions in their adventure?  Very probable.  I'll have to wait and see.

      The importance of reader feedback cannot be overstated.   Authors rely on it to improve their future works, and it gives them the incentive to write more stories if they know that their hard work has been appreciated.  I am not saying that comments must all be lauditory.  Authors often appreciate honest, constructive criticism over simple remarks like 'Great story', although simple praise is appreciated also.  There is no limit on how much you can enter in the 'comments' box.   Sentences will automatically word wrap at the end of the line so please do not use your carriage return/enter key except at the end of your paragraphs.
