[QUOTE="Macbeth, post: 1662300, member: 11259"] Sorry that my story went so contrary to your feelings. I didn't eman for it to be an "author vs. reader" situation, I ment it to be a "what's going to happen next?" sitaution. A lot of good fiction comes from the reader wanting to know what happens next. If a reader trying to guess the ending is an antagonistic realtionship, then a good part of great fiction falls into that category. If this is a big problem, I'm a little suprised I didn't get nailed for it in my first story. there too, we start with the narrator talking about his past, with the reader in the dark as to why he is where he is. I can understand not wanting to make an antagonistic realtionship with the reader, but I really don't think I did that. It wasn't intended to be a mystery, it was ment to be a look at the narrator, and why he is who he is. But I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, overall I agree with you completely. As soon as I read Berandor's story, looked at the pics, and immediately saw HIS usage, I knew he had a better story, usually I'm stuc with me own meaning, but Berandor was good enough now I see his story.
