[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 1666579, member: 14451"] Spider, The dialogue is intentionally a bit clunky for this first part. The verbal characterization gets more in-depth as it goes on, I didn't want to take away from the non verbal elements of this portion of the story with lengthy dialogue. Of course, some would just say that I am using that as an excuse, to each his own. I am, however, a sucker for the style in which they are talking, kind of an old english, King Arthur mix. This is just a personal story, a prequel if you will to the short story that I wrote for Margaret Weis. I have tons of stories I could share about adventures, but everyone is doing that and this is one of those, 'story burning a hole in my head,' kind of things. Ya know, something that you just feel like you have to finish but never get around to it because who will ever read it. As far as Margaret Weis goes, what would you like to know. I won't pretend like we are the best of friends, but we have met up twice now and I e-mail her on occasion. She is a very kind and gracious person, very humble and kind. Twice she has taken time out of her busy schedule to meet with me to sign books, once I took her out to dinner and the second time we just had coffee and a few hours of conversation. A hint to anyone who might try doing the same thing, don't bring your non fantasy reading wife with you, she will just end up telling her that her hair looks great and ask her, for lack of a better word, stupid questions about whether she ever got mobbed in public. :heh: True story. :o [/QUOTE]
