Oh, yeah, another thing. Why do you write the majority of your stories in present tense? I mean it seems almost natural to switch into past, and it elleviates the mistake of changing tenses, and thus less crow-eating-soul-ings. Esplain!

Author's Response: Both A Man of His Time and The Forest Lake Incident are written intentionally in the present tense. For MOHT, it was because I liked the immediacy of present tense, and the "you-are-there" feel it gave to the action. For Forest Lake, it's because it's from a first-person viewpoint, and it is quite possible that certain narrators will not survive the story's duration.

So far so good. I like the different point of views here. Can't wait to see all of this develop.
Author's Response: Cool. Just wait until next weekend or so.

Cery good. I was wondering what you were doing all this time. However, you switched tenses in the second paragraph (as I said before if you switch tenses a crow will eat your soul). Also theperson change was a bit confusing, but oh well, good stuff nevertheless, good stuff

Author's Response:
Yeah, it's probably bad to switch tenses. I try to avoid it, but it looks like I slipped up.
The change in narrators was meant to be disconcerting. There's going to be another in the next chapter, then it should settle into a fairly regular pattern.
