Comments on "a girl in candlekeep"
« on: December 07, 2005, 05:10:44 PM »
I really liked this - I was a bit worried by the references to her beautiful hair and dress (Mary Sue alert!) but you have captured the adolescent Bhaalspawn awakening to her nature in a way I think is clever and believable. More about the two girls bullying would help to flesh out her life. I like the explanation for how Sarevok knows to come for her and kills Gorion - he knows of her existence because he has seen her. But why is Gorion so mean to her? And why doesn't she rebel against him if this is the case?  It would be really good if you could fix the grammar - it's hard to read stories without punctuation.
Good work.
Will it be stealing if I answer answer the question of how Sarevok knew about Gorion's ward in my Candlekeep story, by having him send an anonymous envoy to Candlekeep? I might just add a disclaimer.

As I said before, very nice. Have you got any plans on how long it will eventually be?

umm, irenicus, I'm not sure Cordy is completely up to the task of correcting the grammar. Punctuation. There should be more.  :)

Again, a plausible logical reason for Gorion taking the PC from Candlekeep. You have thought this through well.
Maybe you could put in more descriptions of the classes the girls go through. That would further explain the rivalry/bullying.

My lord, Borsook! You are asking a 14 year old why she doesn't like being coerced into activity she sees no reason for?? Everyone knows that the adult world is a conspiracy against adolescents. You have to be at least 19 before you can begin to see the misguided purpose behind education.

Well, when I was her age we all of course hated school, but each one of us had a different "the most important" reason. Mine was not very original I hated being forced to do things, but e.g. I had a friend who usually erm, needed to go to the bathroom quite often and was mortaly scared of school bathrooms (no wonder really). Besides teenagers usually like to talk about why and how much they hate school and I do try to be nice.

I think she meant sum of digits or something.

Well, I don't know if that's right, it was merely a guess, taking into account that irenicus is... a little confused sometimes.  :)

What is your first language, if you don't mind me asking?
