Wow, so he's not the Father of Modern Economics I was expecting :-)

Do expand the tale at some point. Somewhat reminiscent of that Kevin Spacey character in "Se7en" Go to Comment

Love the scroll, many of the entries, and the fact that it is a strolenati collab, but one nagging thought on the linked subs... draconian parasites (love that sub btw!), hellgate prison, the black spear, Ma-O?? These seem just like random adds, in which case, you can attach 90% of the site's subs to this, since you can technically run away from many, many, many things. Love the sub and concept, don't get me wrong, but the linkage seems arbitrary and cheapens the sub somehow, not to mention the semantics involved. Can you technically "run away" or "hide" from a prison? a spear? a god? To me, run away and hide implies that there is some kind of pursuit involved, for example.

Gangster fashionistas. Very Japanese of you. And sexy! Love the skirt/stocking rank structure. The Ko Girls strike a nice balance between the banal and the "dangerous". I assume they are underestimated by other/rival gangs, much to those other gangs later regret at doing so.

Is there any meaning or significance behind the word "Ko"?

Terrific idea! Fun to read, witty and clever. Wish I thought of it and can't wait to use this somehow. The what happens when they breed comment by val sent me down a whole new wormhole of thought, and I wasn't even done thinking about the initial concept yet. This is a fascinating sub! Go to Comment

I've always had a perverse fascination with mansquitos. Juicy info! Thank you. Go to Comment

Wow.

I see the Gibson, but I also get a "Strange Days" flavor and an aroma of Pynchon. I don't even think of this as "futuristic", as much as a mirror on the "current" (yet post-modern)

"Readers who think that SF is 'about' the future are naive," Gibson reminds us. "I don't think science fiction has a lot of predictive capacity, but it's an interesting tool for looking at the world you live in." Go to Comment

Wow. Just awesome. Fascinating concept and very well written!

"there is a river that flows between the membranes of our realities" could be the first sentence of a great book!

have my first 5 since the winter of 2012 :) Go to Comment

Great one!!

According to the chart, a 5 vote says, "Excellent Submission. Extremely usable(!), well written and organized.

I guess I will give this a 5. Go to Comment

Oh, I missed this series of subs somehow. Good work Strolen! There will never come a time when this sub and its relatives, are not useful to our community. Go to Comment

DESTRO!!!!!!!! Go to Comment

good npc. Solid, gritty (as mentioned), and believable. I know a guy like this. Go to Comment

Really like the format used here! Go to Comment

A worthy Behemoth! Great visual. Nice touches on the origin and its hellebabies! Go to Comment

A nice twist on plot hooks. Some philosophers will tell you that there is no such thing as a "chance" meeting or encounter, but that is neither here nor there :) Go to Comment

Brings back fond memories for me of playing with my GI Joe action figures with my buds!! Go to Comment

I'd comment, but would just repeat what everyone else has already said... :)

Good one! Go to Comment

I can only echo what Dossta said because he said it well. And add an "awesome!" I'm sad that I missed this quest. Go to Comment
