That's the biggest problem; when you know canon, you know how the story goes. But, if I am able to at least drag a reader in, then I'm not doing too bad -- thanks for the comment! I sure hope it doesn't disappoint.
I really enjoy your Scott tales. I just finished Pt I and was chuckling over the uncle-mugging. I can see why Scotty was so shy-I grew up in a large, boisterous family too and sometimes you just want to crawl under the table and hide from the ruckus. Great read so far!
I think it was a combination of both -- mostly left to wander solo, then being thrown into big, loud family situations on occasion, which would be even more of a shock. Really appreciate the comments, thank you!
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part II, Chapter 7 Wow, talk about hitting rock bottom. I sure hope for both their sakes that there's nowhere to go but up...
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part III, Chapter 3 My, my...Quark would be proud of their wheeling and dealing, but I think Garak would have a thing or two to say to them about the need to be subtle and disciplined while spying and interrogating!! I do hope they catch the ones who torched their ship, though, and give them a lot of grief!
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part III, Chapter 3 I think at this age they are now, twenty-one and twenty-two respectively, Garak would scare the heck right out of them. I can only imagine that one. Corry> He did say he was a tailor, right? Scotty> (shaking his head) That's the scariest tailor I've ever laid eyes on, then. Corry> Oh, good. It wasn't just me thinking that. That is a driving element of the story, here, yeah. Thanks for the comment!
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part III, Chapter 4 Oh, MAN...I couldn't stop laughing when they started putting guns on the Lady Grey--twenty-four-gun salute indeed!!!
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part III, Chapter 4 LMAO! It's funny; when I was twenty-one and wrote it, I thought, "Wow, that's gonna be awesome!" Now, I'm twenty-eight and a mother of two and think, "Typical boys. Blow stuff up. DO YOU REALIZE HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS?!" And yet, I still adore them for it. Thanks for the comment!
