kindergartenesque intensity

Review is here. It does not mention that he had to take the chairs off the tables.

I quite like the whole "exciting dynamism... palpable strain" bit.

Isn't the point of 'Watching' that it's not a giant ant?

Other than that, yay!

Or at least that it's unclear whether it's a giant ant or a tiny landscape...

I had a palpable strain once. I got better.

(this is awesome by the way!)

Well, I did cut my imaginary cartography teeth on our Davon maps :)

If you palp your strain it takes longer to heal up, you know.

Aha. Not almost endearingly shambolic after all, then? Congratulations!

Well, it is a bit lukewarm, but it's certainly not a slating.

Thanks!

Excellent - fame beckons.

As a contributor of convoluted backstory, I applaud your editing skills. Thank God I didn't write everything that as in my head, eh ;-)

[identity profile] bluedevi.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't edit your writing at all, mind. I think what he means is that I focused on particular parts of your story in order to make maps based on it. I also suspect he was too lazy to read the whole thing :)

[identity profile] the-elyan.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's fair enough, with so many different interpretations to look at.

When I said "editing skills", I meant in only attacking certain aspects of my screed to create pictures, rather han some sort of melange of the whole...

As the antmeister, I have no answer to this, other than to observe that it is a giant ant relative to the others. The landscape doesn't have a scale, so I've no idea where that fits in!

Aw wow! That's brilliant!

Defo not a slating - But its hard to tell what he really thought.

Sorry we couldn't be there - But for reasons you are aware of the weekend was ... Difficult. *Hugs*

Chap wants maps

Impractical, I suspect, but it would be a crime not to tell you.
