Razor's Project Hope (Assignment Two, I think)

[Razor7826]

Ah, so I take it you liked the phrase Avidouche? My revised version has that changed to "Hide-the-Parrot" but if Avidocuhe is good, I'll keep it. It isn't very Hope-like as far as I can tell.

With regards to the Hounds of Baskerville, well, that was obviously intended by Hope, so you using it as well would make sense.



With regards to writing from the perspective of one of the characters, yes, I need to try that more. One of the many novel-length ideas I am working on is from the perspective of a librarian, but my vocabulary is insufficient to match what a librarian should sound like. One (or two) of the Bad End ideas that I've started has a similar idea going on, as well. I may pull one of those out as an exercise.

Avidouche is funnier if you ponder about the word for a while until it is ringing in your head with that off-key parrot voice. But maybe hide the parrot is the better expression for two reasons:

1) It is immediately apparent and not only to the more word-savy or those who read your story with increased attention to detail.

2) (And this is appending to what we were just talking about) Would pirates, loud, roudy pirates, use a word like avidouche? Their leader maybe but the others?
