It's been a very, very long time since I've been on here, but this sounds like a really intriguing idea you have here, and I'm going to start reading it today. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Ah, Krupp, great to hear from you!! Be warned, there's more summarizing than real prose in that experiment. (better see what I just put into the general fic stories, now that's nutty:)

Quite frankly, given what i've read so far, these short stories greatly remind me of a particular writer in the "bizarro" fiction scene named Jeremy Robert Johnson. Your works mix up a great atmospheric look at an alternate reality world, and throw in bizarre ideas and concepts as well. This is the kind of story I've been wanting to write for a long time; something very similar to this. Unfortunately I just haven't gotten around to working on it yet....
With that said, I see what you mean by summarizing here; some would call it 'info-dumping' i think, but in truth, a ton of the greatest writers there's been info dump. I wish that info dump didn't have such a negative connotation to it. David Foster Wallace did tons of info dumping/summarizing in Infinite Jest, and YET that's what kind of makes the novel what it is, essentially. In other words, I don't condone or condemn your summarizing here; after all, we all do it whether we admit it or not. Great work as always mate. I'm glad I could read some stuff of yours for a change. I'm getting really sick of the crap I have to read in school. Reading novels like "Little Women" just doesn't do it for me, you know?

Krupp, your feedback gives me wings AND provides me with names of authors I immediately start researching. This is the best feedback one can hope for. Thank you so much dude. Whenever your brain goes on academic strike and forces you to quickly write a story a three to vent the pressure, whistle and I'll be thereski!

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind. — Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
