D.F. walks in with his footsteps echoing off the forum walls. Wow amazing what happens when there is a con going on. So Ms. La any hints on whats instore for us with AVC and Transitions 2. Hmmm... Wink

One is certain after reading Transtions they'll be just as good if not better. The masses gather to hear another great tale from their mistress fiction.

A question about AVC how much of it will be based on historical fact?

*sticks a finger in her ear and rummages around*

Ohhh damned, he used the evil word.

There's no such thing as historical fact Wink

Long explanation but historical fact doesn't exist. There's historical truth, but that's different.

Anyway, I plan on basing AVC on actual events. At least as a backdrop. The main story will be fiction but it will be set against a background of real events.

Historical fact....isn't that an oxymoron?

Ahh as in The winner gets to write the history saying. Ok based on histroy of the period, hows that instead. Of historical f**t.

Forgive me, M'Lady, for coming as late to the party as I have.

I was only recently introduced to your story by the inestimable Shirh Khan, and I have to say it was one of the most engrossing tales I have readthis year. (Other top contenders include the last Harry Potter novel and the novelization of Revenge f the Sith, but I digress.) I tore through the entire thing in just two weekends, and I thought it was wonderful.

Excuse me while I go gorge myself on A.V.C...

Hail, then, and well met. *bows*

Welcome Starchaser. You'll have to settle for mere nibbles of A.V.C. like the rest of us, since she's barely started writing it. Wink

Hey there Wolf Starchaser. Very happy to have you with us here in this corner of Planetfurry... Smile

Glad you enjoyed 'Transitions' that much, and I hope I won't let your expectations down with either AVC or Transitions 2.

's nice to be here. Thank Shirh Khan; he pointed Transitions out to me.

I used to be much more of a regular hereabouts; I kinda drifted away for a while.

I look forward to reading whatever you put out, whenever it's posted.
Cool

I've decided to reread this and something struck me as odd when I did. I don't know if this was commented on before, but here goes:

When Watson abducts Gabriele, he meets her there at around 9:30 AM (he met his goons at 9:00). I wonder how he knew that she would be at home at this time. If she worked a regular job, she would have been long gone by then. I don't think she told her schedule to her parents...
And it is clear that he expects to meet her there and that he didn't wait for her to come back home from work because he arranged the flight back with the understanding that he would get her at that time.

So, is this a small continuity error or did I miss something?

Aslaug · Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:30 am Post subject:

Actually, that -is- a little thing I never considered.

I believe that he could easily have asked around though. The other furs living in the apartment building wouldn't know about the family problems between Gabby and her parents, and he could have asked one of them.

Generally, I think it's one of those small blunders that are bound to sneak in...I admit that one.

Nameless · Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2006 2:57 pm Post subject:

Watson doesn't strike me as the type who'd go around and ask the neighbours. Besides, the way I read it, he had the schedule set up before he ever got a chance to talk to them.

A really weird thought struck my while I was reading the dinner conversation between Zig and Gabby in chapter 30:
The last pope has been busy elevating people to sainthood left and right.
If he had ANY sense Zig should have been among that number... Wink

Aslaug · Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2006 6:26 pm Post subject:

*grins* I agree there.

Well, as for Watson...I'm sure he had his way of knowing. I'm just not sure what that way was, even as the writer. Watson didn't tell me much, before he got a fatal case of death, y'see. He was a tight-lipped little git.

In any case, I wasn't as experienced at writing then as I am now...I honestly did not think of why he'd know but I am pretty sure there are ways he could have known. If nothing else...Watson -was- the type who would come to Gabby's home, wait there all day if he had to, and take her with him WHENEVER she came home. If Jean happened to get there first, then too bad. Considering Gabrielle's parent's opinion of our vixen, she'd be expendable...

Before leaving Denver he called some contacts in Columbus and had her watched by the time he arrived he knew her comings and goings or he made a REALLY lucky geuss.

Another small thing that hit me:

In chapter 55 when Esteban's parents talk you write their lines in "mexican accented english" which I can't help but read as meaning that they're talking in English. If you just translated the conversation from Spanish you wouldn't need to use the accent. And I kind of think they would talk in Spanish in that scene (Jean isn't around, after all).
