[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 5900853, member: 2"] Gregor, I wanted to thank you for the very quick response and the thoughtful, detailed analysis you've given us. It's tremendously useful. More comments, sblocked for the convenience of the other judges: [sblock] While I was surprised that Mallister's touch drew you out of the story - it hadn't pinged on my "unrealisitc" radar as a problem - some of your other comments really hit home. In particular, I now see a wonderful way to end the story that hadn't occurred to me at the time. I'm well aware that conclusions are my biggest challenge when it comes to Ceramic DM, and I think you've helped me figure out one way to work around being so abrupt. Likewise, on my walk today I thought of an easy way to have better foreshadowed Olhydra's true appearance, giving the actual picture more weight. Next time. I've never heard of Oryx and Crake, but I'll look them up. I'm so glad you caught the "otyugh" joke. This story was my love letter to high level D&D, even stealing the baddies from the old 1e Fiend Folio, and it felt right to slip in an EN World story that really defines the game for me. So anyways, good analysis and criticism. Thank you. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
