NOTE - I have received mail from the FFML written by some people that
think over-description� is a bad thing and is used by writers who are
covering
their weaknesses.

Wow O_O

I've always thought that a *lack* of descriptiveness was the author being a
little lazy. But who says you can't combine descriptiveness and a lean
approach for the best of both worlds?


Well, part of the disagreement in taste was that some people would rather
imagine their own version of a scene, or a character's clothing, etc rather
than having that information fed to them a line at a time.  I tend to love
detailed accounts, and I'm a real sucker for prose 'tricks' that break the
rules but work right anyway.

Currently debating which fanfics to begin reviews on as he finishes the
outline of ADD chapter 4.

Looking forward to future reviews Doug!

Looking forward to writing them :)  Nothing like bringing the authoritarian
fist of Draxon down on the whole C&C process ^_-

On I burn...  (First reviews will start showing up as soon as I get some
sleep.  My "fixed" insomnia just came back and nailed me hard.  I would work
on them without the sleep but I've had some classic 'idiot' moments in the
past when I tried that)
