(But maybe there can be a sexier name than that? If it's just a receptacle, can he say jug or pitcher or cup? Or it's special, call it by a fancy name like the Chalice of the Infinite?) :) The dialog is really natural. Well done.Secret Agentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-50383413957345827772011-03-26T17:58:21.819-04:002011-03-26T17:58:21.819-04:00I liked this.

I wondered what 'the offering' was and what the 'crave' was and if the offering would ease her need and help the 'crave,' - all things that make me want to read on.<br /><br />It's all story, there's dialogue, action, tension, suspense. Nicely done!<br /><br />You might revisit the water receptacle line. As someone else said, wouldn't he know it had been in the family for years? And when she says ' the one that's been . . .' it implies there is more than one.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769803733067838372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-7635647893060964692011-03-24T12:18:28.441-04:002011-03-24T12:18:28.441-04:00I like this a lot.

You might want to add another mention of the craving during the banter though because it slipped my mind already (but maybe you've already done that in the next para).

It shows her personality BUT I think if you just put some emotion aside from punctuation, that would help.<br /><br />I'd definitely read on!<br /><br />Nice job!Jolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809468564016928636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-5943091319094783542011-03-23T22:02:57.716-04:002011-03-23T22:02:57.716-04:00This is cool.

You should substitute that one for the sentence where she tried to keep her teeth from shattering. The odd sensation of the Crave is more important than reminding us that she's cold. <br />Why is she scratching her chest? Is that part of the Crave? If so, it would be good to tell us. If not, maybe that's a good place to remind us she's cold.Mark Muratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562597698193306363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-24399381236370686842011-03-23T17:53:21.100-04:002011-03-23T17:53:21.100-04:00Intriguing.

I'm not sure about the teeth shattering part. Was that a typo or a real concern? Also, try to cut some of your dialogue tags. They got really distracting and since it's only Robin and Andra talking, they aren't necessary all the time.Seleste deLaney/Julie Partickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346934576672398786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-29149089609022730682011-03-23T16:26:06.983-04:002011-03-23T16:26:06.983-04:00Love love LOVE it! One suggestion after "I th...Love love LOVE it! One suggestion after "I think I just broke the water receptacle" the dialogue doesn't sound as real. Like when she's says "The one that has been in dads family for generations." it sounds like your directing the comment to the audience. Try something like "Dads going to kill you! You know that's been in the family for like ever," its not a great example but something more like that. The next two lines after that go back to sounding better but the last one where he says "You're my only sister, but I see your point," I think you can take out the "but I see your point" its more realistic for a brother to just snort and say "yeah, your my only sister." Again, I love this.
