[Mr Orange]

The word-count pixie showed me an "ancient document" (still wet from the tea he'd used to age it up) which supposedly declared that flashy scene-break symbols count as 200 words each, and since you'd used two of them, it was obviously over-count and he didn't need to do any more. A clip round his pointy ear sorted out that nonsense.

A clip around the ear with his own weighty tome would sort that pixie out...

I'll need to find someone who can lift it first ...

[David Evil Overlord]

Thanks for the review, Victoria.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

JoanDrake -- The author creates a fantasy of manners worthy of the talents of Jane Austen.

 

[JoanDrake]

I am utterly flabbergasted, I'm going to treasure this review, thank you Victoria.

The only thing I've ever read that was even Austen-esque was Pride and Prejudice...and Zombies

 

[David Evil Overlord]

I hope the zombies minded their manners...

 

[Juliana]

I hope the zombies minded their manners...

And wore suitable attire for their woodland strolls.

I've written a first draft of my story. Now for a day or two of obsessing and polishing.

Culhwch -- This variation on classic themes cleverly plays tricks with the reader's expectations more than once.

holland -- Multiple levels of reality interact with each other in unexpected ways in this subtle story which rewards rereading.

Lucky you! I wrote my first draft a couple of weeks ago. I wish I'd only had a day or two available for obsessing and polishing...

Thanks for the review, Victoria!

Thank you for review, Victoria

Perpetual Man -- Through the use of vivid images and psychological depth, the author sings Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience.
