Thanks for the updated link, I will look at that tonight and give feedback. Here, in the forum, alright?

As for the comp, I've got the development day this Wednesday where I work on my play with nineteen other finalists and some professional playwrights. Hopefully I should get a call after that about whether I'm one of the four who get it performed! Very Happy

I really liked this, although it was quite sad. Seriously sad, as it tear jerking OMG why aren't Bill and Laura together! Damn good idea, not many people would see that ep from that perspective, so thumbs up.

Quibbles. These sentences don't really feel right to me, I don't know why.

"His Sine Qua Non he would never have the right to love again."

"When the sky fall over them" Should it possibly be fell over them?

But zat is all, very good fic m'dear.

Wow!! Working with professional playwrights!! This is my dream.... You are soo lucky!! Can you tell something more? How do they work? Are they too annoying or leave you do what you want... stuff like that? Pleeease... I'm so curious! sunny

Thanks for the review! Yeah.... the falling sky was not a good idea but I absolutely want the idea of Laura (The Sine Qua Non) whom Bill is not allowed to love anymore... maybe I will try to say it in different words... when I got the time.

Thank you a lot for the help!

I will give you a full and detailed account tomorrow when I come back. It should be awesome though, because although I love writing novels, I do like writing plays too, because I love Drama.

Glad I could help, do you mind doing me a favour in return? I'm entering another competition, a Dark Tales short story comp, and I've got my second draft but would love someone to go over it.

http://www.4shared.com/file/67816294/7341ea43/The_Spaces_In_Between.html

That would be brilliant if you could, and it would be awesome if you could send me your MSN (if you have one) so we can exchange more writing know how! I could also send you a couple of playscripts I've written as well. Very Happy

Novels against plays.... I can't decide which one I like more.... maybe both, just like you.... Very Happy Maybe the key word here is just "writing"- everything, everywhere.....

I've just downloaded your story, sory for being so slow with answers but I actually visit the forum only in the weekend- I don't have much time (frakking school..... university preparations and so on....)

I liked how naturally you mix the scenes- one scene falls into another so slowly and so invisibly... Maybe one of the biggest signs that you have a lot of practice Smile
Loved the mystery idea- original one and the fog is just the right place for a ghost....
"The police had come, the police had suspected, the police had left."- very good way for saying it. There is something about short sentences which always impresses me more than some long philosophical variant.... Short sentences are like a hit. One. Then another. Third.... They have more influence on the reader's mind than anything else.
The end with the rose was good, made me think about the connection between the ghost and the world he had left....

I'm not a native speaker and really bad at grammar, so in that part I cannot be helpful at all...

Great work!! I love mystery stories!! If you have something more, give it to me, pleeeease!sunny


My msn and skype are : Milva113 and I'll bre happy to add you Smile
You already know my profile in Survival Instinct where I post all my fics so if you have time, I will be happy to see you there. By the way, don't you have registartion there? Or in FF.net?


Have a nice week Smile

I write anything and everything. Except poetry, I wrote one good poem years ago and in the intervening time I've wrote nothing. Very Happy

Tell me about it. I got so much half term home work it was absolutely ridiculous. As for University, I don't have to worry so much because my application has already been sent off (and I've got three offers!)

I'm so glad you liked the story. I'm doing a polish over it tonight and then I should post it off tomorrow! It came to me one morning when I woke up and it was really foggy, and my imagination is always going into super overdrive about these things. I'll send you the finished draft, and a very snazzy wallpaper I made to accompany it. I make wallpapers to accompany everything I write.

My Mum (who loved the idea and loved the story) thinks that I can expand it into something larger, which I just might do. As for anything else...that was my first mystery story, but not my own story. There's a truck load of fanfiction which is posted in random places, a crime short story about a talking puppet, my crime film script and then a collection of short stories about my baby. My baby being my five year old project, not a real one.

Your MSN doesn't seem to work for some strange reason, but mine is kasmonaco@hotmail.co.uk so if you add me then I can...well you get the picture. I do have registration there, and on ff.net. And on livejournal. And youtube, if you like fan videos. I'm everywhere, seriously. Very Happy

http://www.mujaji.net/adamaroslin/viewuser.php?uid=1911 That is me on Survival Instinct. I only have two stories there, mostly because I haven't written that much BSG fic yet.

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/975711/DD_Agent Me on fanfiction.net, where all my fic goes. I seem to have twenty more fandoms than everytone else. Laughing

http://ddagent.livejournal.com/ My livejournal, which is where I update semi regularly. Very random, lots of discussion about randomness, writing and monkeys.

https://www.youtube.com/user/SerialKillersAgent This is me on youtube. Lots of random fan videos.

The trip to Hertfordshire was awesome. We got to work with Noel Greig, a professional playwrite, who taught us all about constructed a play. We then got to work with play directors and work on our own plays which was awesome, if a little intimidating. I didn't get into the next round of the competition, which was a shame, but I would have had to do four hours of travelling every day, which was unpleasant for one day, let alone five.

Don't start with poetry- I write from 8 years old and my head hurts.... Very Happy

I thought you are older than 17.... at least your writing style is like of someone older... which is great by the way... Airlock has that style- when I first read some of her fics, I thought she is around 20... sunny

There is something about the fog which inspires me too. It is just the perfect place for that kind of stories...

Added you everywhere I can. Actually I read your fics in SI a long time ago and even commented one- really good. Such a shame you don't write more A/R fics...

Sounds like one great experience... Even if you didn't make it to the next level, what you have learned will help you in the future... Is it hard to write plays? I have never tried....

Give me a good story anyday!

Well thank you! *blushes* A lot of people say that I act older than I speak, or in this case, write. I just think I went from being 10 to 25 and skipped being a teen entirely. Smile

I love weather, I always have. If I had got my act together when I was fourteen, I would have done geography and become a Meteorologist. There's something in it, whether it be sun, rain, hail or wind. It can create an atmosphere that can chill or warm the audience. As for the fog, it can hide all manner of sins.

I go through phases of stuff. At the moment things are on hiatus generally, so I'm writing original prose and finishing some old fanfiction. When BSG starts in January, the only thing I will be writing will be BSG. And making. I'm terrible like that. Very Happy Thank you for adding me, its always nice to have new friends!

I've never found it hard to write plays, mostly because I enjoyed drama so much. I think that I'm very good at capturing voices, mostly because I like to listen to people. If you can do that, and understand how things would look on the stage, then you're pretty much there.

I just got this invitation for this audiofanfiction.net. It sounds like a lot of fun!

I'm a bit like you too- acting as if I'm older... It is good for the writing, but sometimes I regret and start acting idiotic just to prove I'm still a child (even 18 years old one Laughing )

Weather is always interesting because it is hard to predict and the elemnt of surprise is exciting Very Happy I really love all stories about the 4th elements, weather, natiural disaters like hurricanes and so on.... They are always so powerful...

hehe- I am looking forward to reading more BGS fics from you then because I'm the exact opposite- when BSG starts, I cannot write a single word.... I cannnot even describe my emotionc caused by the series..... I'm just watching the episode and then.... nothing.... I'm in something like trans... The other people post so many things, make summaries and I cannot make my brain move.... It's something about that show which makes me speechless....

audiofanfiction? what does that mean?... You are not going to take the microphone and read your fics, right? Laughing

I act like a child too, and just say random things for the hell of it. Pineapple. See.

There are some urban fantasy books about Weather Wardens which specialise in weather fantasy. They're not half bad.

I like to listen to the original stuff to get the voices just right. If you want to commission anything off me, I don't mind. I like writing to prompts.

Audio fanfiction is, from what I can judge, where I give them a fanfiction and they record it for me. Smile swell, huh?
