The Net Caster (Part Twenty-Two)

By airyfairy on Wed, 20 Apr 2016

I began to laugh from fatigue, shock, grief, and an overriding terror of being locked down here in this cellar with a group of disparate and apparently ill-matched Bios.

'I've got nothing left to lose,' I told him. 'You haven't asked about your sister,' he said.

The Net Caster (Part Twenty)

By airyfairy on Fri, 15 Apr 2016

Face to face with the man I had been searching for, the man I grew up with, the man who betrayed me. The man who was either dead or had never existed.

The Net Caster (Part Nineteen)

By airyfairy on Sun, 10 Apr 2016

Living on my home world disturbs me. Spider webs disturb me though I've never seen a spider. We learn to live with disturbance, with always being disturbed

Our homes really do contain

Posted on Sun, 24 Sep 2017

Our homes really do contain the layers of our lives.  I loved this.  So visual, and also a ghostly feeling of the hidden past.  Great writing.

Really liked this, Rhiannon. 

Posted on Mon, 18 Sep 2017

Really liked this, Rhiannon.  The rhyming works really well, and parts of it reminded me of riddle poems, which fits in with the idea of the wise owl.  It's a wonderful idea, that we could have a wise and perceptive companion who could keep an...

Posted on Sun, 17 Sep 2017

It's interesting how poems take different people different ways.  I thought it was very clear, but in a very subtle way.  I think you have to stay true to your vision, especially as it has struck a chord with a number of readers.  That's the...

Posted on Fri, 01 Sep 2017

I like the way this shows that depression invades all the senses.  The description of the grin 'held up with string' is particularly striking and really conveys the mask that people use to disguise the reality.  And of course, as you indicate,...

Good to see another chapter

Posted on Tue, 29 Aug 2017

Good to see another chapter of this!  The plot is coming along nicely.  The only reservation I have is that occasionally bits of the modern dialogue seem overwritten eg 'I think he protested that title a little too loudly' - not sure you need '...

It's whether reading the greats makes you despair of ever getting anywhere, or inspires you with an example of what can be achieved.  Tends to depend on the mood of the day.

Beautiful imagery, and the lilting rhythm goes so well with the subject matter.

I'm hoping this is part of something longer, because I found it very frustrating that it ends there!  Characters are nicely set up and we really want to know how this situation is going to pan out.

So much to absorb and think

Posted on Sun, 20 Aug 2017

So much to absorb and think about in this, Elsie.  I've read it several times, and it poses a lot of questions.  I do hope your dad's funeral was what you wanted it to be.  The bit about more contact with the family made me smile - all sorts of...

Posted on Fri, 18 Aug 2017

Lovely stuff.  The bit where they come in and you want to hear all about it and they just say 'OK' because they're starving  - that really made me smile.  Always in their own time.  The reassurance of everything being as it should be, after a day...
