Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Best Laid Plans
Good story (I'm keeping the review veeeeery short, because 1. the story is still short, and 2. I'm chronically undecided, so answeing your poll was a big deal for me [my session ended while I was writing -- again :])
About your poll: difficult question. I've been pestering you to write MT5 even commenting other stories, but actually having to choose...
I asked /dev/random, and it replied "short stories", so I'll vote for that.
Part of me disagrees - my choice would have been either mt6 or finish your old stories, based on the selfish reason that there are many excellent short stories here, but long stories which are consistently good are (obviously) much less common, and you'e one of the very few who's actually able to write them.
That being said, if you have some ideas on your mind (or you just need a break), it would be best to just write them down.
To sum it up: follow whatever idea you find yourself spending a lot of time thinking about.
When in doubt, short stories, just because /dev/random says so. And because exploring new possibilities can't hurt, and may give you nice ideas.
But whatever you do, don't forget you sort of promised Julia wouldn't take centuries ;p
@Casanova tnx, I knew I had already read something similar but couldn't find it
Author's Response: Thanks for commenting/replying to the casual poll. Part of why I said short stories and the longer ones is because I use those as little breathers while I try to will myself into getting further in Julia. The problem there is that I've got Julia's conclusion mapped pretty clearly in my head, but the fact that it's already so long with multiple threads to juggle makes it more complicated. My main goal on that one now is to at least finish up Act 3, which is drawing close.
