On Rez's entry

Although I'm not a judge I liked it. In a way, there was betrayal - he was betrayed by his mind and what he had been taught by society, when you die if you're in a lake of fire it means you're in hell. If you're not then you're in heaven. Interesting, I liked it a lot.

Thanks britsocialist

I really like both grimsta's and mr popat's. Shyam Popat's story had a real sense of urgency that captured my interest. i really wanted to know what the problem was!

Grimsta's twists and turns kept me on my toes the whole way through, very descriptive as well. Liked the dark atmosphere

when is this getting judged?

After reading all the stories, I have to say that the most suspensful one was SP's - had you on the edge, Rez's story was great - im liking the Character of Abbadon Im looking forward to the conclusion of TSE's story also
Keresztes story is a good one about betrayal with a neat little plot twist at the end, Britisocialsts one was good, and a bit strange....but then again, im not really one to talk about that sorta thing.

I wanted to put more details in my story, but I had a word limit, which I think I broke. So, my story is a little dry on the intense detail and doesn't have any kind of dialogue. I just want people to know this because I really shortened the story, by at least 3-4 pages, so I couldn't do the kind of detail I would have liked to do. Sorry, I always have trouble keeping my stories to a certain amount of words or pages... I always go over the limit.

I know how you feel. I had to cut out/shorten a good amount of detail just to keep most of my dialogue.

To be honest, I've no idea whose story I'm going to vote for. Each is good in its own particular way. But it sounds like some more people are going to put in entries yet, so there's no telling, really.
