HARBINGER correction...

[Gordian Slash]

You guys are really way too damned easy on me sometimes...not one of you
pointed out that I used the 'Why, I died of course!' gag twice in this
story. Shame! Go to your copies and delete anything at the start of the
final installment that came before this paragraph ( in other words, this
paragraph now officially begins that installment ):

“I do not really know what happened next. I fell into swift black
waters, waters moving so fast that the instant I was submerged I was
pulled away at a right angle to my plunge from above and tossed with
furious abandon into a world of airless lightless forces utterly beyond
my control. So powerful was the current that I could not even try and
surface, not that there was much chance that anything like a ‘surface’
was there to be had.”

Note that the word 'swirling' in the second sentence has been replaced
with the word 'swift' - it just scanned better.

Domo origato, domo.

Well gosh GS, I might have been so engrossed in the STORY I didn't even
catch that boo boo! It's ok though, the 'personal touch' makes it
worthwhile. :)

Now how the hell am I going to argue with that!? ;-)

I'm only just now re-reading Harbinger as a complete story ( as opposed
to reading it in installments during the original postings ), and I'm
happy to say that I'm not finding THAT much that needs correcting. Just
some troublesome commas and apostrophes, and the subtraction, addition
or substitution of a word or phrase here and there...with the exception
of the gigantic gaff mentioned above, of course. I thought that I might
have had the Professor taking a drink when I mentioned early in the
story that he didn't drink, but - upon review - I couldn't find any such
continuity error.

Forerunner followed immediately by Harbinger are a fine read. I have to
remind myself that the Professor doesn't exist in any of Laras game worlds.
It sure feels like he belongs!
Just think of all the time and money EIDOS could have saved had they used
your amorphs as boss BN's! But typos? I'm sure there are a couple.
But that's nothing to what the devs leave in the games.

Thank you GS for another fantastic story. I loved it.

Now, why would I want to do that?

The original draft always fetches more on the open market.

That error alone will be the subject of much literary debate. It could likely
reveal volumes about your personality. Which, of course would lead questions
concerning how your personal life was affecting your work, questions about your
sex life, your family, mental stability at the time ...

interesting, albeit disturbing, questions of its own!

What...me having Lara yanking on a big green rod while trying to avoid
being coated with a thick gooey mass didn't already raise those
questions? :-P

No, but it *answered* many of them! 8-O
PW

However, on second thought, the color choice for "the rod" does raise
some interesting, albeit disturbing, questions of its own!

No it doesn't! No it doesn't! Leave the cold rotting corpses outta this!

was thinking more along the line of, copper based blood...

Only thing comes to MY mind is a Vulcan (a la Star Trek) for copper based
blood. Green! T'Pol? :-D How does that fit?
McG.

Jolly Green Giant? ( ho-ho-ho! )

Sick puppies ... the lot of you! Sheesh.
Its *obviously* the "Swamp Thing"! ;)

P.S. See! What did I tell you! Let the highbrow literary debate begin!

Well hmm. Lara is built a little like Adrienne Barbou! ;-D

A vegetable lover?

You guys are really way too damned easy on me sometimes...not one
of
you
pointed out that I used the 'Why, I died of course!' gag twice in
this
story. Shame! Go to your copies and delete anything at the start
of
the
final installment that came before this paragraph ( in other
words,
this
"I do not really know what happened next. I fell into swift black
waters, waters moving so fast that the instant I was submerged
I
was
pulled away at a right angle to my plunge from above and
tossed
with
furious abandon into a world of airless lightless forces utterly
beyond
my control. So powerful was the current that I could not even
try
and
surface, not that there was much chance that anything like a
'surface'
was there to be had."
Note that the word 'swirling' in the second sentence has been
replaced
with the word 'swift' - it just scanned better.
Domo origato, domo.

Now, why would I want to do that?
The original draft always fetches more on the open market.
That error alone will be the subject of much literary debate.
It
could likely
reveal volumes about your personality. Which, of course would
lead
questions
concerning how your personal life was affecting your work, questions
about your
sex life, your family, mental stability at the time ...
:D
