| 8 Jan 2006 |  L. Shanra Kuepers |  Loading...'lo! Welcome (back) to Elfwood. Even if I didn't meet you when you were here before rejoining. ^-~ Details, details! Never mind the silly details hiding in the corner over there. *waves in a vague direction* Anyway, thought I'd comment here as well. Gives me a chance to ramble a bit. Found you through your comment on Becca's page. She's a wonderful writer, indeed! Also wanted to apologise a second time for tearing at the stories. It's second nature. Hope there's something useful in those comments. ^-^ Was a pleasure to read and it'd just make the whole point of commenting so much nicer to know the response helps. And I'd best shut up before anybody thinks I'm crazier than I really am. In any case, I really liked what I read and I hope you'll continue to build this shelf. And good luck with publishing if/when you decide to aim at that! ^-^  Benjamin M. Seeberger replies: "Tear away, tear away, you're tearing is welcome. I'd rather hear that you hate the story and these are the reasons, than you like the story, because it proves it does have some future. Mostly (at least when I comment) if I don't mention something detailed about the story, and just leave a comment like, "I liked your story," it means it was only worth a minute of my time, and I don't see a future for it. So thanks!" | |

| 9 Jan 2006 |  Ben Cameron | Loading... Welcome to Elfwood - again, apparently. North-eastern China? Sounds fascinating - certainly much more 'Chinese' than Shanghai is. Currently I'm studying Chinese at a local uni, but I'm in my final days here before I return to Sydney for uni... I really don't want to leave. I'm afraid my writing's a little stagnant at the moment, as is my elfwood participation, so it could be a while before updates come - though I am working on rewriting a novel at the moment. Anyway, I'll break my current Elfwood-hiatus by starting on your stories. Hope you don't mind critiques  Benjamin M. Seeberger replies: "You really are a fantastic writer, Ben. I admire your stuff. I'm planning on going to China for six years at the most, I think. Two years to study Chinese first.Have you enjoyed your time? It looks like from your picture you have, but you never do know." | |
