Then it devolved into a mellow dramatic lost love story.

Did you actually intend that, or were you trying for "melodramatic" ?

I love 'mellow dramatic' - sounds something like a car crash in slow motion with a sax playing in the background.

Science is what you do when the funding panel thinks you know what you're doing. Fiction is the same only without the funding.

My triumphant return to the boards begins...

This story: eh.

It isn't clever. Its prose is so-so. Its shyamalans the ending.

Holy crap, this is a verb now?


A story of lust, violence and jelly.

Well, Here I Am. My little slice of the blaggin' world.

Among my friends it is. I don't know if it has spread further, but I think everyone knows exactly what it means.
