First Day on Dune (cont)

Thanks Caillagh! It sure is great to be back. I never quite left really -- been lurking around the forums from time to time -- and that annoying writer's itch never went away so here we are (again):)...

It's been 20 years since I last played Cryo's 1992 Dune, and an unrelated game has recently reminded me of this little gem. So here am I again, staring at that familiar,...

Just found this epic and read the whole thing in one go. Very very good, and highly addictive! You've done a great job incorporating the supernatural stuff into the story, it's neither too much nor...

Glad to hear you find this amusing. And thanks for reading! Explanations will be (slowly) coming, I promise :whistling

Thanks Merchant! Now let me waste some time on the interwebs finding an appropriately awesome picture to go with my rather mediocre story about gods and giant lobsters :thumbsup2

Thanks for reading. Hopefully things will get a little less confusing as we go along.

I must admit this was probably the main reason I went with something like this. Such a mix allows me to...

Good start. Maybe I got this all wrong but is the second chapter the same as the first, but from the opposite point of view?

Probably a very, very stupid question -- how do I subscribe to this motherload of epicness?

Following the immortal, wise words about the importance of participation, I throw my name in the hat yet again.

Great work, Hitai and Lortano, congrats! It's been an honor to compete with you!

I'm still catching up, but I'm really liking it so far. Your world building is deep and engaging, and the setting is great. Looking forward to read more about it! +rep

Good, you seem to be as confused as I am! :tongue:

Thanks for reading guys, I'm glad you enjoy this!

Now just so you don't get too comfortable with what's going on so far let me add another element to the story :whistling

Grrrreat start! It took me a moment to figure out why do they have to store the fallen but then it dawned on me :laughter:

Great stuff, really fun to read! Our hero's musings about the possibility of evolving lions were awesome :laughter: The walk to the chopping block was terrifying -- very vivid description!

Great start -- looking forward to moar! I'm really diggin' the quotes in the beginning. And I agree with Alwyn and Merchant on no bold speech. Perhaps italic instead?

Thanks for your praise, guys! Great to see that you enjoy reading this as much as I do writing it.

I must say I'm not particularly happy with that last chapter, and I'll blame sleepiness for that!...
