the characterisations had me giggling in the first few paragraphs and it pulled me in quickly.
The dialogue flowed well, something I am a little jealous of as I always find this really difficult.

Thanks for sharing Smile

Thanks for reading, and I'm really glad that you enjoyed it! Smile I sometimes worry that I rely too heavily on dialogue since I feel more confident writing that than some other sorts of narrative description. I'm glad that the dialogue flowed well though, I was hoping it would. Having such a colorful cast of characters on the forum to draw inspiration from definitely helps. Very Happy

Write to your strengths and work on your weaknesses- thats what I say Eldo.
You do good dialogue, so dont be afraid to do it a lot.

No TARDISes I'm afraid, but hopefully the time travel is still to your liking. Very Happy

Dialogue is everything, as stories have characters, and we learn something of character by hearing them speak for themselves. Very Happy That's my opinion, and I'm right! Nod

Did you just call me Amary, Loremaster? Shocked
Though I guess that is what the Shire Hobbits call me, so I suppose it is a bit of a grey area. Shrugging
