Archive Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Small and intense, perfect for a lazy reader like me. Every part keeps the suspence up, feels like there is much more around the corner ... like a spiral slowly unwinding.
Archive Posted January 15, 2003 Author Report Posted January 15, 2003 peredhil31: Yah! Peredhil runs in small circles yapping like an excited dog. Some one gets it! Actually, I have to give credit to Zadown for Spirals even continuing - I'd quit writing on it, when a chance comment of his told me someone was reading it - and wanted to see more! So I started up again. This style is different for me.

The plot has surprised me once or twice with things I hadn't foreseen. Peredhil

Archive Posted January 15, 2003 Author Report Posted January 15, 2003 Zadown: Well, still reading it. I just isolated the thing that I most like about it - it is unconventional, I can't see how it will go forward. I've read so much average stuff that that is very refreshing. Goes to tug Peredhil's sleeve so that he'd write more parts.
