Advil Report post Posted March 15, 2001 Ben, I'd like to tell you I read a few of the last entries in the round robin story, ending with your engine room disaster scene, and your style is good. It read like one of the better star trek episodes, but much better grounding technically. (I noticed in your profile afterward you liked star trek)Am I right in assuming that you're mixing the storytelling of trek with a little Honor Harrington for realism? It's a great combo. Felt like I was right in the middle of a decent novel. Not too technical, but not so vague that you feel like you're on blind faith either. Good work.Everyone else - You're all doin a great job, I just noticed a style I particularly liked and wanted to comment.[This message has been edited by Advil (edited 03-15-2001).] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Somerset Report post Posted March 15, 2001 Thank you for the compliment. Yes, I'm combining a little bit of ST and a little bit of Honor Harrington. I've been a big fan of ST since I was little, but I've found that HH suits me much better.Somerset has always been a Horatio Hornblower like character, and Harrington is also based on the same makeup. I absolutely love the way Weber writes, so I did what any decent writer does. "Borrowed" his style. I appreciate the compliment. Feels nice to know someone enjoys your work. ------------------ Commander Benjamin Somerset GCV Swiftsure, Wraith HQ (Lyrius) Wing Leader - Wraith Fleet/SIN Wing Stealth is the only thing between you, and your enemy's guns.
