Liked the fact Dan kicked himoitll take a while on the pil. FrontThrough and through. Nice recovery from Don post the last chapter disaster. Lester finally got the opportunity to swap the pills.

I'm 99% sure that isn't a real person Psiber. Might be based on someone that is real, but it's art not a photo. Though I agree with you, kinda reminds me of what I thought Sarah looked like when I first started reading TA.love to know who the model is though, if she is professional that is. Pic looks pro taken.
Your last point is an interesting angle. I think I agree with you, just couldn't put it to words they way you have. It does seem like there are parallel story threads; one that feeds the the 3 MC crowd and one that feeds the someone different every chapter crowd. I can't blame DS for trying to please his whole market, though I do think it's a fallacy to try. You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but rarely can you please everyone all of the time.Chapter 32 alpha made it seem like don was finally moving things along,but the ending just felt like he was going to continue with his 1 step forward,2 steps backward approach, which has been going on since chapter 23-24.
Earlier in the story, Jesse was a character that Dan loathed, someone that was out of bounds as far as Sarah was concerned. When Lester got Dan arrested and got Sarah to sleep with Jesse, it felt like shit was about to hit the fan, but it didn't.
Then came Otis , an unnecessary character in my opinion, but at least Lester used him to get Sarah fired from the hospital, which seemed like another pivotal moment. Chapter 32 played out that way, and it seemed like Don was finally moving things along. But the Lester showing dick pics to Sarah's mother, and the ending which implied that Sarah would sleep with Richard in order to save her job just rendered the entire Otis thing pointless.
At this point, I'm not sure how far things will drag along. I think don has 2 types of paying customers, there are those who want to see Sarah fuck the whole world, and then there's people like me, who want the story to focus on the original three characters. Right now Don's trying to keep both groups satisfied, which is why we keep seeing this 1 step forward, 2 steps backward approach.
It's not like we don't take one for the team. But there's nothing foul in asking for something. If there's like a demand and such rude behaviour, it's a different matter.Why don't you guys take one for the team? Also thought this was the Toxic Attraction thread![]()
From my perspective, being rather a grammar and English structure person, I like dialog separated from other writing. I see that done a lot in fanfiction.Curious question came up today. Someone made a comment that it was hard to follow the writing because there were "large gaps in the paragraphs", which I assumed was due to carving out the dialog from prose. Do you as a reader have a preference on this topic? Do you like long walls of text with dialog blended into it, or do you prefer the dialog separated (when appropriate), or somewhere in between?
Very interesting question. I like it separated for longer conversations. Gives the dialogue room to breathe. It becomes very monotonous reading though when the author forgets to set up scenes and reactions / or too much of it.Curious question came up today.

I agree, I was trying to read a story that had the potential to have a good plot but I just couldn't get thru the first quarter of dictation dialog. Scrolled down to see that was the format for the entire story and just skipped it. I personally like a blended approach, separated dialog and sometimes blended dialog/prose when it's appropriate.It becomes very monotonous reading though when the author forgets to set up scenes and reactions / or too much of it.
