Another great installment, but not nearly enough plot progression. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Thanks, Lorinda! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I appreciate the feedback.

I have had several kind generic emails, but very few people have pointed out things that they would like to see changed or highlighted parts that they liked.
It's always nice to know which parts people like and dislike as I'm still very much feeling my way with balancing both the difficulty level and the other content of the series and I agree with you that the plot was neglected too much this month.

I always appreciate any kind comments that people make, but the critical comments are the ones that (hopefully) improve my writing.

Hi CardSharpCook:

TC the Table Coach is actually an allegory representing the struggles of good versus evil, and will challenge mankind to rise to a higher moral and ethical plain. In time, it will be remembered as an equal to other great allegories, with Moby Dick being a good example, that have a similar message.

Best wishes,
Mason

Comparing TC to Moby Dick is carrying sarcasm to a whole new level. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

But I read it every month and am hoping the plot goes somewhere soon.

Hi fyodor:

Well, it's the closest we could come, and I happen to like it.

Best wishes,

Well, it is a very fun story, but it is your writing that I enjoy. You have a very good written sense of humor. The way you slowly unravel an amusing situation like TC's "girlfriend" or Ears. Each episode keeps me grinning ear to ear.

Hi Lori,

I've enjoyed the series of articles as well. However, is there any way to get to the older installments? When I read the new one each month, I've more or less forgotten the story up to that point. The previous issues that are still online are accessible enough but being able to read the whole story up to the current one would be nice. Its tough to keep a story told in installments fluid when the installments are rather short (as they need to be as defined by the magazine) and spaced a month apart.

I remember the difference. Should I be worried?

A friend has hosted the articles that are no longer available on 2+2 on their website for me. The link is in my profile.

I hope to have my own site for the articles in the near future.

Cool, thanks. I barely remember what happened in the first couple... Now I have something else to do at work (besides what I'm paid for [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])
