- Thanks for the kind words. I finally figured out
that I could write replies to my reviews. So once
again, thank you, very much!

I've never been that impressed with the Dolcett style, but this seems competently written. The "adverts" made the piece for me; a homage to Paul Verhoeven? (7/10)

- I'm glad you enjoyed it. And while I didn't
consciously draw upon the work of PV when writing
this, no doubt Robocop and Total Recall were in
the back of my brain, providing inspiration.

Here's another example of what too much TV can do. Humor prevades and the execution (the writing not the snuff part) is well conceived, but just like most TV and film originality takes a second seat to derivativity. As a parody of game shows, this story is well done. (7/10)

- It's funny that you see this as an example of too
much TV, since I watch almost none. ;) And oddly
enough, I really didn't set out to write a parody,
but as you know, stories sometimes take on a life
of their own, and go their own way. This one
became a parody. :)
