Re: Story in Wiki Discussion Format
Interesting way to write a story. The story got a few chuckles out of me as well as pointing out a problem that I've notice with time travel stories. You start messing with the past which changes the present, so you don't react the same way to the past, so you might change something differently, changing you even more... ugh, makes my brain hurt!

That's brilliant. I wish I had thought of it

Re: Story in Wiki Discussion Format
That is AWESOME! I just wish I could find a way to leave the guy a comment and tell him so. 
Thanks for pointing it out, Firle.

Re: Story in Wiki Discussion Format
Wow, that was really quite good. You can almost imagine that they might use indirect communications in the future for such a thing.

Re: Story in Wiki Discussion Format
I just read it again, and I really think the thing I love most about it is the voices of the characters, especially SilverFox. It just feels so REAL. I'm still in awe.

Re: Story in Wiki Discussion Format
It does feel real. So much so that at first I didn't realise that it was a story.
I thought perhaps it was a discussion area for a joint story. Luckily that silly thought went away before it ruined the story for me.

Re: Story in Wiki Discussion Format
Thanks much. Since the sale, I've been obsessively googling myself (a process made very easy by the story's odd title and my unusual name) to gauge reactions, and they've been pretty positive, sometimes almost ascribing to the piece actual literary merit (I have no such pretensions; it's a gag story and nothing more, albeit a pretty good one).
Hopefully some of my other tales presently making the rounds will catch some editors' eyes and I'll be able to call myself a writer with fewer traces of sarcasm...
Thanks again,
Desmond
