It's always interesting...
...to see how one's fiction is seen by others.
I came across this review of one of my Daily Science Fiction stories today:
“Flood Myth” by Brian Dolton (debut 12/09) is a lecture. The narrator expounds on the merits of water. The story is philosophical, pointing out how water is essential to the earth and its relationship to clay.
The story can be interpreted as a one-on-one conversation with a higher power. To me it still came off as a lecture.
I'd be very interested to know if anyone who pops over to http://dailysciencefiction.com/story/flood-myth and reads the story agrees with that review. Comments very much welcomed.
