HBO Fan Fiction

In hindsight, I agree with you, eb. This is very close in tone to Null. Though it was intended to be a sort of rambling, meandering war story as told by an old veteran...based in part on the tone of ...

Thanks for the comments, guys. This was a bit of a different story for me.

Okay. First off, I enjoyed this, because it's hard to make trench warfare interesting and write milspec buddy-talk well...and I think you managed to pull both off, for the most part. On the other ha ...

Really, really enjoyed this story. Your level of character development, especially, made it come alive...and the direct approach to description. Truly effective exposition here, because you framed i ...

Congrats to everyone who placed in the FFiH contest (especially the newcomers!), and everyone who submitted. Submitting is an intensely nerve-wracking experience, and even if you didn't win...the fact ...
