Some people are just too shy to start a feedback thread - or too technically challenged.  :

I normally don't comment much on pieces I've beta'd - but you have Perry's attitude down so well, and Richard's life in a dream and Perry's view on Mad Dog Lane coming back is so 'right'.

So it would seem.  Starting the thread myself should address that.  I probably should have been doing that all along.

Actually, it's fairly easy to hear Perry's voice in my head.  Richard's a bit tougher - to show that a man with blinders on can still be a good man, still be a strong man.  (At least one critic thinks I've emasculated him).  The positive feedback on my version of Richard is very well-timed.  Thanks.

Richard's a tough balancing act, and I've really tried not to be overly harsh with him - I'm actually sympathetic with him, and a lot of his problems are actually drawn from my own experiences (the romantic mismatch and associated blinders).  I'm trying to keep it realistic without being too brutal, but the rude awakening is unavoidable.

As for kids, I think it's come up twice so far:  The argument from chapter 19, and here.  It's a symptom of the mismatch between Richard's fantasy and Lois' reality.

I'm glad to see the sympathy for Richard.  He's not a villain in this story.

I'm really at a loss to explain the inspiration, but for some reason I can really 'hear' his character in this story.

Thanks again for the feedback.  Stay tuned - there's more coming.
