Gilthalion, I am not sure if insulted would be the right word for my reaction to yor latest post. More like, unpleasantly suprised. (None of this is meant in anger or deviciveness.) Gilthalion, for your enlightenment, I have never played D&D in fact I am quite against it. Other than C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of narnia, Tolkien is the only fantasy author I have ever read in my entire life.
My object is not to go on fantastical adventures and great battles, but as you have stated, to create a plausible storyline. Most everything I have written has been run past Kate or Thenamir. I am not a very experianced writer, this is probabaly the most fiction I have ever written.
I took great care to make sure the Attack post was not simply: "Dwarin killed one dunedling. Another one tried to attack him but he killed him too." I believe it's just a difference in writing styles. I tend to try to move things along, infuse emotion et cetera. I am just not a fully matured writer yet. Like I have said before I am very appreciateive of any criticism, including this piece, it makes me a better writer. I just don't want you to think I am a D&D nut who likes magical swords and talking rocks. Please forgive me if this post seems angry or upset (neither of which it is).
