I did read your partner's entry, just didn't want to reference it in my reply to avoid spoiling anyone who hadn't read it.
Got it. Thanks.
I'm still trying to decide which part should be read first, or if the two could be meshed together somehow.
To a fair extent, we specifically designed our pieces so that they could be read in either order -- The stories show two very different people living very different lives who "intersect" one day. Each of them experiences that meeting in their own way, and comes away with something they never would have expected.
While the idea of "meshing" the pieces is intriguing, I wouldn't want to try. The pieces are written in *VERY* different styles, which I think does a great job of mirroring the two characters' perspectives. I believe the contrast between the two viewpoints and two writing styles makes the completed whole "greater than the sum of its parts". I think both stories would suffer if we deliberately tried to mesh the pieces into one.
I'd like to stay up and "chat" more... but it's after 1 AM where I am. But I appreciate your feedback.
