I think this is an extremely ambitius project to run for distance. It requires widely-read readers, as well as a widely-read writer. You are doing a great job so far. Kate xx

    Thank you. And you are right. I'm nearing the end of 'familiarity' (I think), and avoidance of monotony.

Hello!

Does this stem off of something else? I am just curious. Great job at executing this fiction. Your vocabulary is outstanding. Thanks for sharing!

One Love

    Yes, I have posted several other 'killed of' characters versus their authors' stories.
    Thank you for the review.

This is another great installment in your Literary Guild series. I have a love/hate relationship with Shakespeare. I love what you did with this. Thank you so much for sharing this! Keep up the great work.

    Thank you. This series is beginning to get tougher to be original and different.

A great read! Excellent work on this one!! I'm also a reader of Jim Butcher's writing, and in fact his work has informed parts of a current novel I'm working on here in FanStory. I've been on the Great Divide Trail, like you, parts of it. And have hiked numerous parts of the App. Trail, it ran through my home state, and other states where I've lived. Keep hiking and writing!

Grrrrreat, Wayne. So Ceasar lost out once again. You have such a command of the language. At times I thought I may even be reading the Bard himself. Your phrasing is beautiful and eloquent.

A couple of observations however:

Para 18: Need the closing quotation mark after "...didn't know that."
Para 21: Need the closing quotation mark after "...is valued here."
Para 24: I like the way permission is given: "Merlin nodded Lewis his liberty." Clever way to word it.
Para 27: Need the closing quotation mark after "...your name, sir?"
Para 41: Need the closing quotation mark after "Antony, you fool."

Great job Wayne. I enjoy your concept of pulling literary characters from the pages and tombs of their origin and twisting them just enough to make a clever story. It shows you must be a devoted reader yourself.

Good job once again. Sorry, no sixes left.

    I read, but not Shakespeare!
    Thank you for the great review.

    I remember learning that absent closing quotes of a paragraph indicate the same speaker of the following paragraph. But I could be wrong - or the rules have changed during the last 60 years. lol

    You are very welcome. The story, as do you, deserves it.
