It was a good idea to do the letter! Gulp. Poor Virginia! Good job we know that Matt is still alive then, or I'd be crying over my computer.. - not good for the circuits! Nice work Matt.

It was enough that she read it and that she cried. Having the contents there ruined it for my imagination. : So, tell me. What are the aliens up to now? IP Logged

The baddies are up to no good, and they're coming back. Guess what's following that American sub, it ain't Santa Claus! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged
Neesierie Ex Member Re: FDK In Training Reply #49 - Aug 23rd, 2010 at 2:25pm Print Post Sorry, Matt. The final decision is yours, you know. Just thought you'd want to know how it struck me. A lot of writers these days don't give their readers credit for any creativity of their own. In most respects, they have a point. But I'm used to having some space to imagine in the stories I read. And I like that. (But I may not be considered an average reader!) : No worries. It's a great story! And I'm still on the edge of my seat. So go write Matt out of this crisis! IP Logged

I am toying with the idea of only reveling portions of the letter in Ginny's thoughts in the final draft some internal dialogue as to how it affected her instead of the text itself. Anyway Matt has to risk detection in order to save an American sub! Rig torpedoes fully ready! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

BTW, great save in the sub! It felt like a scene right out of Red October. (That's a compliment, not a criticism!) IP Logged

I like Ginny's anger and desire for revenge. And now Mattt is at the dome.. hmm... what is going to happen next I wonder. And will Ed get the info he needs? I need some air. WWW IP Logged

Hopefully this will turn into a wild ride! Ginny just might get her revenge, but it will be bittersweet. : What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged
Neesierie Ex Member Re: FDK In Training Reply #59 - Aug 25th, 2010 at 2:43am Print Post Good work, Matt! Enjoyable dialogue in the dome as they work. And Straker certainly was brave to beard the lioness in her den, so to speak. IP Logged
