PS working on the ellipses Speckly

Hi boots.

Don't know where the truth/fiction line is with this one. So a but also a kick up the pants and a stern you-can-do-it look. Horribly busy in work today so can't do the detailed stuff.

Nice work on the ellipses/parentheses. Knew you could do it! Reads well. Lots of good funnies funnies especially in the first half. Some fairly abrupt switches in mood and tone that I think could do with smoothing out. I like that we never find out who is sleeping with malcolm! Perhaps too many characters here? Would be fine in a longer piece but everyone is there and the piece gets a bit schitz. I like the downbeat irony of the last line.

I know you have lots on and can't do anything right now but do you have long term plans for these? I think they need work, some pulling together, some building on, but I think the basic format could work as is: collection of columns, diaryesque but structured; put together in book form. There's a run on sentance for you.

This message has taken over an hour to write. God I hate work. Will come play in the story soon.

- a Hound fix even when the Post's down.

I can see what Speckly means about all the characters but it was so nice to see them all together again, I wouldn't want to lose any of them!

I know what you mean about the sense of reunion, it has been a while since we've seen some of these characters.

Can't wait for part 2.
