With a few weeks having gone by and more people having had a chance to read through this issue, I thought I would ask what you enjoyed about the fiction that was submitted. Did you have a favorite story? Which one was it and why did you like it so much? Anything you would recommend to the author(s) for future stories?

OK, I'll admit I'm biased...
But I think the whole issue was really good, and the fiction especially. Then again, I don't DM much and i prefer to use standard humans, so a lot of the gaming statistical stuff wasn't as interesting to me. I think Goliath could have been listed as fiction, though...

Thanks, Xanthippe! Yes, some of the other articles could have been listed as being fiction (such as Goliath, the Gentleman Caller, and Scotty's Ghost) and were also very well written. I have to say, despite the Comic-book Guy quote on the cover, that this issue is one of the best so far.Xanthippe wrote:I think Goliath could have been listed as fiction, though...
Not quite the direction that I was aiming for, but it works for me. In order to allow some extra leeway, I'll insert an other option for those of you who wish to select a non-story article for their favorite fiction.Tadelin wrote:Personally, I liked the story about Scotty the ghost.

As for choosing one story as my favorite, I really don't think that I could. Each one of the three stories had their strong points and weaknesses. Plus, with there being three different authors, you get the chance to taste a different style and flavor for each of the stories.

I'd have to go for "Letters," because the author attempted something more complex and substantially different than "Demons;" but that is not to say that I did not gain some enjoyment from the latter. I confess to having difficulty with pulp, but that is partly the product of belonging to writers' groups and having to produce for them. I cannot, of course, comment on my own, and should not wish to bore anyone further by doing so.
