Re: General Discussion Thread
Ok... here is my non-expert All around assessment of Assignment 9:
Hey Tamur, by the way, I think you should give an extra Cheers with a Mead Cup emote to the stellar submission each week. I would vote for Timsup2nothin's sci-fi work. That was a pretty slick way to interpret the assignment, and assign bacteria as characters.
Stepen Asen - I enjoyed reading your Doukas selection. The characters were all very well described (down to their hair and skin tones). I could picture their movements about the room, and would've kept reading to find out more.
The second selection in Japan was not as clear in my mind with concrete details, but I liked the philosophical ideas you presented towards the end. It gave substance to the story.
The Doukas story compared to the Japan story seemed more like a shallow spy thriller. (Although, for fun summer reading, that is the story I would prefer to read, sitting in the sun with a lemonade in hand.)
So they each had different strengths.
The only other one to comment on was Timsup2Nothin's piece with 3 characters. Over the past assignments, he has shown he has an talent for interspersing dialogue with characters to show their relationships to each other. Do you spend a lot of time eavesdropping on people at parks or restaurants to get your dialogue timing so perfect?
