That is why I dont realy like historyical storys. There is just too much detail and it bogs down the story.

another thing that I dont realy like is the whole flash back flash forward thing seperated by the ****

Authors Nock that off.

Ouch! It really hurts when such an esteemed critic of 'historyical storys' tells me to shove my beloved flashbacks up my asterisk. :-)

Oops, sorry. I forgot. Anyway, some of us inkstained drudges will probably continue to wallow in the muck at the 'oposit extreem' from your lofty literary standards.

By the way -- As a fan of historyical fiction, did you ever happen to see "Citizen Kane"? Or, if that film failed to meet your cinematic approval, "Titanic"? (not that the latter was well-written, but there was nothing particularly wrong with its structure). I know, I know. All that business about the iceberg was pretty boring, but Kate Winslett was pretty hot posing for her Leonardo, eh?


Boccaccio, off to Nock off another flashback at the Jade Pavilion
