Discussion of "Dalliances" by Aggeloi

ok - this was a funny one. I like the old fashioned, futuristic feel (a bit of an oxymoron always does wonders for a story.) It was an interesting shift - granted, I haven't done too much exploring here, but so far all the stories I've read were kinda dark. (granted, that's been a whole four or five, along with blurbs of the featured chapter...) Anyway, fun to see something light, nice to see that there is some depth being introduced a the end, as the begining felt, well, maybe TOO slapstick. However, odd as they may be, you have some well formed characters. I like the way Shari led Miss Angie into the idea of talking to her father - I need to take lessons on that... Anyway, hope to see more!

Thanks - yeah, I went over the top with Miss Angie. I was inspired by Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones - Howl is similarly dramatic about setbacks. Glad you liked it!
