Tell me if I'm wrong.<BR/><BR/>I saw this letter up on the Crapometer a few weeks ago--in this form if I recall correctly. The author received much good advice there. I'm certain he is already on the way to a much less detailed, but more informative and gripping end-product.<BR/><BR/>But I was wondering, in view of the length of time between Elektra's posting of the letter, and EE's, just how behind are you on your face-lifts?

I'm wondering if this might be an important point to get across to whomever's reading the query.<BR/><BR/>The rest of my questions are encompassed in the 2nd paragraph of december quinn's comment.<BR/><BR/>Plus, the name Mallory. Like dq, my first thought was that Mallory was a woman (same thing, Mallory Keaton). Great, weird minds think alike, I guess ;-). Anyway, I wonder if there will be others who will read this and think the same thing.<BR/><BR/>One other thing: it took Mallory a century to figure out this was what he wanted to do? I know the whole "vampires 'live' a long time" bit, but a <I>century</I>? Maybe this should be condensed, to, say, 20 years? (Just my 2 cents, FWIW.)<BR/><BR/>I feel the story has potential, but I think the writer needs to give us more details to answer the questions raised (putting aside the century thing, which is just a personal preference on my part).<BR/><BR/>~NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1151845658011088702006-07-02T09:07:00.000-04:002006-07-02T09:07:00.000-04:00Have wondered too, Anon.Also found the query confu...Have wondered too, Anon.<BR/>Also found the query confusing.<BR/>"Get bit?"<BR/>Please.Bernitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264585685253812090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1151839969738049412006-07-02T07:32:00.000-04:002006-07-02T07:32:00.000-04:00What I don't get is how all of this could possibly...What I don't get is how all of this could possibly fit on one page.

Why does Aethe want Mallory's pr...I don't get this. Why does Aethe want Mallory's protection or allow him to pretend to protect her, if she apparently thinks whatever Veratrum wants with her is okay-at least, she's refusing to tell Mallory why Veratrum wants her, which to me reads like she's om his side. So why is she going with Mallory at all?<BR/><BR/>How is Mallory "possessed of humanity"? Which oath is he compromising his ideals in service of--the one to reprent for his sinful past or the one to kill his brother? How do they use Claud's disease to track Veratrum? And what, Mallory's friends are happy to help him get his revenge until they figure out that he really, really wants it, then they freak out and say no?<BR/><BR/>"Mallory" threw me. Not only will it always be a girl's name to me (Mallory Keaton, yanno[tm/pp]) but the thought of parents thinking the names Mallory and Veratrum go together...makes Mallory even more of a girl's name and makes me think perhaps Mallory resents his brother for more than that whole pesky killing thing. He was always Mom's favorite, too, I suspect.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't sound like a bad story, just the query leaves some unanswered questions.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.com
