A Sense of Wonder
Jan 9th, 2017 at 2:55am
Print Post  
We're almost finished with our first draft, then Moo checks it out and our reg beta Nans checks it out. It's going slow because of health crud severe pain, but I hope people like it.  It's firmly in the Rabbit's Paw fantasy category, and Paw was received well. Both my wife and I like to work out of the box. You see a new side of Straker in this. Come to think of it, you see a LOT more of Straker in this.... Wink More than he wanted anyone to see. He's older in this. It's set in present day. Straker encounters a wonderful elderly woman. Cool

I'll be sending it in to you soon, Deborah unless you want to just take it from fanfic go ahead, the blurb is there too. I'm not feeling great at the moment. Its still a struggle to find a means to work in comfort. It just was uploaded. I swear to Goddess no story was ever revised and corrected as much as that thing is!  Members can go read it there if they want.Comments and morphine welcome. Ed

P.S. This is a spoiler
spoiler warning.........................................................

Found errors made by trying to read on phone. Took it out of ff, fixed errors. Off to die somewhere in a corner now.

Put in another easter egg that I spotted an opportunity for. What Alec hums.

That just means she really, really, really knows what she's doing... We know Straker will always bring his 'A-game' to the field.

Don't you think she has to expand what she likes in a date?

5000 year old woman, tall, independent , brunette dark eyes feminist, works out has own invisible jet seeks colonel in military intelligence . must be amazon like no pussies allowed. Can brood. Must have zeus thunderbolt voice and platinum blond hair and huge blue eyes. Should be familiar with greek and roman mythology. Should be prepared to move out of his ugly house. Points given for commanding a secret organization.

Hi I'm Paul Foster and I'll show you a good time.
"What happened to you?"
"I wasn't her type."
" What are you talking about Paul?"
"This ad."

(Alec Freeman sneaks off and answers ad using Straker's e mail)

"Any messages before I leave for the night, Miss Ealand?"
"Have you forgotten your date Sir?"
"My What?!?"
"She said she'd be carrying a sword and wearing a breastplate Sir."
(Straker vows to kill Alec)
(Straker goes into lobby sees 5000 year old woman)
(the next day, Straker gives Alec a pay raise)

What website was Alec using? I can't find her profile anywhere...

A Sense of Wonder was great fun to read and kept me riveted from start to finish. I love that it can be continued in future installments too. Greatly looking forward to the next episode...

I wanted to send a 'wink' to Diana's profile...

Just as well... I was just going to flirt anyway. I've never talked to a demi-god before. Thought it might be interesting. She probably would only interested in a cow for the beef and leather...

I tried to interview Wonder Woman herself but she was busy burning down remodeling and decorating Straker's flat . So I spoke to her Amazon guard, Diana bunny seen here battling off two lovesick admirers.

Not Foster - Foster was at least a competent test pilot.
Lex Luthor the businessman? (no - he'd be competent and knows how to fake being ethical.)

Not in Sup vs Batman. I was among the  few fans that liked it but I felt Lex was done lousy. I haven't seen the extended version which is supposed to be better. I'm more or less getting used to Lois Lane. I do like Cavill as Superman.  quite a bit
just on superheroes (which my story featured) I'm going to lose it seeing Logan. (Wolverine) Just johnny cash's cover of hurt does me in. Logan's losing his healing ability and it looks like Professor X might buy the farm. saying goodbye to wolverine is going to be tough.

The comic book Luthor (Or the Lois & Clark one - but that one is a bit on the sexual predator side). The SvB version of Lex is a WTF - unless he was a junior Lex and daddy got what he deserved but I don't think they were thinking that way.
