* Arthur
Not entirely sure what type of *punk to put this one in. It has an interesting tone, the omnipresent and humorous voice really sets the story. A sad ending, but I like how things gradually become more focused and also how you describe the various thought processes going on.
* Earthblades Don't Mourn for Burnmules
This was a cool little story. It had some hints of "Grapes of Wrath" in it for me and I like the tone, but also the practicality of everything. I thought it was very touching and felt sorry for the lot of them.
* Ginkgos Gone, Gynoids Come
There is a wonderful sense of urgency in this story, kind of a late-minute rush though I wasn't always sure what was going on. I liked it and it really fit in with a cyberpunk theme. Seems to be a series of sad stories, of course, but well written.
* Laura
This story has a bit more hope than most cyberpunk stories, but I found it very nice. It has that lovely sense of revenge coupled with learning about some horrible future. I will admit, when I read about the static, I thought it was them still in charge, just on the computer (maybe so, but didn't seem to end like that).
* Lies
This story confused me so badly.
I picked up on the lie, of something on the computer verses not in person, but I had no clue what was really what. It had a sweet, ethereal quality to it, which I found enjoyable.
* Payday
This was a fun little story of someone who knows what he is doing. I love the casual attitude toward the implants and also the attitude of the main character. Very fun and enjoyable.
* Quadruple Pound Punk
This story was confusing, humorous, and basically an entirely enjoyable read. Even after going through it three times, I still like it. I like the progression with the multiple chapters and the ending really capped the entire story.
* Spanning the Valley
Great title to this story, too me a second to have an idea where it came from. I like the point of view of the main character and also the non-obvious way it was ended. Very nice.
* Steampunk (David)
There was something very sweet about this story, but I'm a sucker for sacrifice and paladins in general. Very nice and the details of the steampunk worked very nicely in the story. The cast iron boiler with the suit just brought a smile to my lips.
* Tell-A-Tale Blues
Really didn't care for Act 2 but the story really seems to get going in Act 4 and beyond. It was a bit hard to read with the short lines, but still had an interesting story going on.
* The Alchemist's Apprentice
This one confused me slightly, mainly since I couldn't really tell what was going on once they met the magistrate. Did he steal the clockwork guy or something else? It seems rather rushed.
* The Red Squire
Cute and spunky. I liked this one. It had a neat sense of humor and a really good threat. Not to mention girls with glasses.
* The Seventh Dimension of Agna'arakon IV Owen Rendall vs the Red Pirates
Not entirely sure where the Red Pirates came in this story, but it sounds like a very interesting world you have set up. It also has a nice touch of bittersweet and tenderness that really really appealed to me.
* Tranny-Bot Chronicles
Okay, I loved this one. The sense of humor in the story, the tone of the character, the build-up to something perverted and everything else. It is a great little story.
