@Joszen: Well, I don't particularly consider South Africa exotic either, it's just so far away. Well, that's the Internet for you. As for the AAR, I hope you go ahead and write one. I'll read it. As for screenshots, just download FRAPS, save the pictures to your hard drive, crop them with MS Paint or Photoshop if you're so lucky. Then upload them to a free photosharing site. I use Photobucket and it's always served me well. This is a good way to find out what people think of your work—although I've found that sometimes your critics just keep their mouths shut, so the view you get is unrealistically rosy. Good luck with your master's degree.
I'll PM you the excerpt of my story I've been sharing around, and you can see what you think of it.
@MAA: I'm glad you enjoyed it. The character is actually almost as introspective as Cadwalador, although you don't see it in that piece. I have about ninety pages on that manuscript so far—that's the beginning. Thanks for reading.
