[B]To be honest I find that writers are the best reviewer's. Realizing that I may precipitate a flame war I have found that Bocca and Lex are among the best reviewers that I have read
Yay!
(I always read the other reviews when writing mine) and they are also reasonably active writers. Woodsman's game is an excellent writer (sometimes even better than Lex or Bocca)
Boo! (just kidding, Woodsie) ;-)
It's probably time that I came forward and revealed my true identity. I am actually Leonard Pinth-Garnell, whom you may remember as the oh-so-discriminating "Bad Ballet" critic on SNL some years ago.
'Reasonably' active writers, e.e.? Ouch! I may not write a lot of stories, but I sure put a ridiculous amount of time into the ones I do write. And write. And write.
It may not show, but I'll bet I've put nearly 1,000 hours into Book II of the Jade Pavilion series.
And me and my ornery sidekick Big Jake has wrote us a coupla long Westerns, too, in our spare time, about a pair of low-life cowpokes, when things in Shanghai got a little too peaceful.
If me 'n Jake was any more active, we'd erupt. ;-)
Lex is my favorite reviewer, too, aside from the nice (and for the most part admirably astute ;-) ) folks who have taken the time to review my stories. Thanks to all who have done so.
