Squunch, it just occurred to me that I never acknowledged the story you shared from DA. This is the 2nd time you shared the link actually, and I read through it the 1st time. It’s well written, but it mostly didn’t do anything for me, because the characters die in seconds (which is probably much more realistic than what happened to Julie) and their heads and faces are often destroyed in the process. It’s a good story though.

On the subject of Surviving the Game, I’ve discovered I don’t really like it that much. I guess that’s why I didn’t post it before. I wrote it six or seven years ago, and I wouldn’t say I’ve made monumental advancements in my writing ability, but I do think I’ve improved some. I thought I’d fix the parts that are particularly awkward, but I find myself trying to rewrite the whole damn thing. One of two things will probably happen - either I’ll get frustrated and just post it mostly as it is, or it will take quite some time before I post it here.
