I enjoyed this collection very much. My thanks to all the authors who took up the challenge and to the inimitable Randi for proposing and shepherding (wrangling?) the set to completion.
Guess I'm an outlier, I really liked Tnicoll's story. Sure, maybe I didn't *like* Holly but she had some depth, unlike the typical cheating wife with an IQ of 20 and no motivation other than "I could". Her motivation was reasonable, the fault was her execution, i.e. she should have divorced Parker when she realized how incompatible they were, before finding another partner.
Harry has a point. The over used trope of a wife who appears at the onset to be able get away with anything and her husband can't do anything about it... makes for an easy set up for dramatic tension but it's so overused that it no longer commands the same power it once did. I realize that there's only so many story plots and they get re-hashed but creating fleshed out characters and treating them with respect instead of two dimensional cut-outs makes all the difference when using these tropes. The other much more dificult answer is to try find either unique set-up's or at least enough of a difference to make it fresh and interesting. Lastly the trope of the clever, strong male suddenly unable to think for himself and then behaving in destructive ways is so unlike most men out there and it's the opposite of the Martian Slut Ray
Let's call it the Venus Wimp Cloud that hits strong brave inteligent men who then fall apart in the way writers who have no concept of what or who real men are - describe.
I’ve read them all and what a great set of stories
The one l really didn’t like was Tnicoll’s it has the lowest score
All the other rated mainly 5s.
Thank you for a great writing event.
