It is knowing that people read and enjoy this work that enables me to keep on writing. ( that and the constant dialogues going on in my head)<BR/><BR/>I don't mind sharing for free, this has bettered me as a writer and an editor in more ways than I coudl ever count and no I have not been in touch with Lucas Arts or Del Rey. <BR/><BR/>The truth be told I think they would shake their heads in dismay at this particular tale, far too long, too many liberties taken with too many major players and far too much adult content. ( as well as not enough of the rebel heros).<BR/><BR/>Given what I have read in the SW world this story doesn't really stand a chance because it doesn't fit into the standard scheme of things and that is why I started to write it in the first place. It was exactly what <I>I</I> wanted to read and couldn't find anywhere. <BR/><BR/>However... in an alternative univerese, if it were published well, that would be quite something, wouldn't it.<BR/><BR/>And you are so right when you say writing is an art form, it is. Words are like tiny brush strokes on a huge canvas, it is a real treat to be able to play in this arena.<BR/><BR/>again, many many thanks for the very kind words.merlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345465867559490309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949649052123238769.post-17577613946270367372007-09-19T16:49:00.000+02:002007-09-19T16:49:00.000+02:00A good story is like any work of art. The finest ...A good story is like any work of art. The finest details are as important as the broadest strokes. This story, as a whole, and even more so recently, is a true example of this in every way. The broad picture gleaned at the end of each chapter, the intricacies of each paragraph, each thought, and the amazing use of emotion throughout is simply fantastic.<BR/><BR/>Merlyn, I truly envy and adore you. You put so much work into this, and give it away so freely. While I've written a few short stories... And even had them published!... they still do not hold a candle to this work of art you have made.<BR/><BR/>Have you been in contact with LA to see if you can get this into book form, and part of 'official' EU cannon? If not... well... :)<BR/><BR/>Either way, thank you, as always, for an excellent read, and I greedily await the next chapter :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949649052123238769.post-91123194703798010342007-09-19T10:57:00.000+02:002007-09-19T10:57:00.000+02:00uhm....yepuhm....yepmerlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345465867559490309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949649052123238769.post-70000901761244756952007-09-18T21:44:00.000+02:002007-09-18T21:44:00.000+02:00'Reacquainting lips with my body' is a new way of ...'Reacquainting lips with my body' is a new way of putting it!Jean-Luc Picardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689798190618944262noreply@blogger.com
