Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part III, Chapter 4 Oh, wow... I didn't even realize you were a woman!!! In all seriousness, I think it's because you've captured the male perspective so well--even the things that aren't so comfortable to write, like their banter about women.
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part III, Chapter 4 LMAO! Well, hopefully it won't change your perspective on this stuff too much. ;-) But yeah -- I'm Steff, married Mom of two, stringer for the local newspaper, all that exciting stuff.
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part III, Chapter 4 Nahh...it won't change my perspective. To me it just shows how well you write.
I'm up to chapter 3, and I have to say Scotty's finally coming into his own here. Finally, the man has developed a friend, and has a social life (sort of). I feared he was destined to become some kind of weird engineer/hermit/monk. Here's hoping he keeps his hands off Corry's little sister, though. Terrific stuff!
Yeah, he does keep his hands off of Cor's sister (despite wishing he wouldn't have to!) -- I more feel for Corry, who's not sure which one to be protective of. His somewhat free-wheeling little sister, or his admittedly naive roommate.
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part III, Chapter 6 Wow. I hope we'll get to see the results of the race before you wrap this all up! Just one question. Wouldn't dropping a 24-pound cannonball on someone's foot break every bone in that foot?
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part III, Chapter 6 Nah. Not with service boots on. Twenty four pounds is heavy, but not THAT heavy -- take it from someone who's dropped a sixty-pound chase on her foot in tennis-shoes. It sure hurts, but despite the bruising, nothing breaks. Plus, it wasn't a drop from standing, it was more of a shove from the ground. And yes, you get to see the results, even if the results aren't what anyone would expect.
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part IV, Chapter 1 Very nice! Nice to see you have competing news outlets--I'd figure TNN competes against the Federation News Service? And I just can't wait to see what happens--let's hope that BOTH ships aren't armed, or all hell could really break loose!
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part IV, Chapter 1 ::laughs:: I guess, yeah. I came up with TNN (the Terran News Network) mostly just because it seemed like a cute name for a news channel in the future. Thanks for the comment!
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part IV, Chapter 1 Nah..you just miss all those ROY CLARK and BARRY MANILOW concerts they use to have on TNN...wink wink.. Rob
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part IV, Chapter 1 Arrrg! I thought the whole story was posted! You mean I caught up? This has been an excellent read-it feels like I've had my had stuck in a book for the last hour. Thank you!
Re: Arc of the Wolf: On the Nature of Wind - Part IV, Chapter 1 You're absolutely welcome! And no, there's a good ways to go yet before it's done; five more chapters in this part, four in the next and the epilogue. But worry not, it shall be soon, and thank you so much for the comment!
