[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1678599, member: 13098"] Congratulations Carpe David! Keep going and see if you can win this thing. I like to lose to the winner. :) It is also exciting to see a new competitor take this thing to the top. I'm at work, and somewhat distracted. If my wife hadn't called to ask about something else [b]and[/b] refreshed the screen just then, I wouldn't have seen the judgements for a while yet. Barsoomcore - I'm working on grammar in general, I promise. When I get rushed, it is even worse. You are right, doing something more with the kite would have been much more interesting. I will have to think on that one. I actually tried to keep my description of Hel's apartment sparse intentionally. I just don't imagine Hel collecting much, or doing much. I think I need to really figure out how Hel fits into my pseudo-world before I try to revisit that. The issues with the boat sinking and running aground made sense at the time. After I was done, they kept making less and less sense. I attribute it solely to panic in writing. Ack! Alsih2o - The whole story feels cramped to me. You and your dastardly pictures threw me for a loop. I went through the whole hate/love thing with the story and the contest. In the end, I think this is a story I want to revisit and try to write better at some point. Mythago - I really didn't want to come out and say that Lopt had to finish by Walpurgisnacht. I also wanted to drive home the parallels between Wodan's quest for the runes. Nine days and nights, etc. Loki is supposed to be trying to find himself again and I was dragging in all manner of references to tie back into assorted myth and legend. Since he slew Otter and collected the gold from the Rhine, I wanted his motivation to be subconscious. The otter skin and the thrill of the gold calling back to him, urging him forward to find himself again. It sounds like I might have achieved some of that, but I really need to polish my methods. I really think I want to redo the story at some point, once I have worked out a lot of the kinks in my head. If anyone has any further commentary, or more detailed commentary, I would love to hear it. Either posting, PM, or email. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
