An uncertainty as to the best tack to tackle.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/marika-and-the-space-pirates-4#comment-1724 2005-04-21T19:04:35+00:00 2005-04-21T19:04:35+00:00 <p>Yeah! &#38; put in some spontaneous combustion so it&#8217;s like a real Dickens novel. Well, this portion of the peanut gallery would certainly like some more up and coming updates (as well as general amnesty for this sentence). I fear for the next chapter &#8216;cause I don&#8217;t want it to get weighed down in schooly stuff, but I wants it much &#38; much.</p> EMeta http://faerye.net/post/marika-and-the-space-pirates-4#comment-1708 2005-04-19T19:51:32+00:00 2005-04-19T19:51:32+00:00 <p><blockquote> I&#8217;m starting to understand how readers of old saw Dickens unfold stories in Serials&#8230;</blockquote></p> <p>Ah, you mean that your experience of waiting for Part 4 was as long as an American reader&#8217;s wait for a new Dickens serial to be written, printed, AND brought across the Atlantic? Four months and five days&#8230;you might have a point!</p><p> Sadly, I am paid to do Other Things. If anyone wishes to pay me to produce fiction (I&#8217;d like health insurance too, and I&#8217;d love half-price footwear but I can do without in a pinch) I&#8217;m more than willing :) </p><p> I&#8217;ll see if I can rustle up some time to write another installment tonight and post it tomorrow. I&#8217;ve got a busy schedule, what with scrubbing my bathtub, paying some bills and possibly cutting out some curtain fabric, but I&#8217;ll see what I can do. Flattery will get you far with me.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/marika-and-the-space-pirates-4#comment-1707 2005-04-19T18:05:58+00:00 2005-04-19T18:05:58+00:00 <p>I&#8217;m starting to understand how readers of old saw Dickens unfold stories in Serials&#8230;<br /> <br /> Don&#8217;t you understand this is an instant gratification society? I keep refreshing the page, why aren&#8217;t you feeding me Part 5 yet? I&#8217;m hungry here, where&#8217;s the rest?<br /> <br /> -Novel</p> Novel
