Good stuff LH, thanks for posting it here! :)

Is there any prognosis on your Deep Impact project?

Thanks!

Thank you.

And yes.

The prognosis is that it is terminally boring. Many elements can be salvaged, but the basic story line needs much rework.

This is the first thing I have read for fun since X-mas break. It was well worth the wait. :)

If she has good editing skills, maybe I should ask her to read my story I'm working on...

Her life seems pretty busy.

Incidentally, using aspects of other's plots in your stories is generally not a problem. Aristotle described a set of plots when have been used ... a lot. ];-)

By the time you fit a plot to your particular needs, it generally is to that extent yours, and no longer is "just like" another one. Particularly if you put some imagination to it.

Good luck.

Outstanding! I truly enjoyed the story, your style reminds me of Isaac Asimov and reads as well as any of his shorts.
