Apologies in advance for the crosspost, but I want to briefly plug this story I wrote, given that many of you don''t visit the lounge. In particular, using this thread as a place to critique my writing skills would be appreciated. I''m looking to improve. Superpig - saving pigs from untimely fates, and when he''s not doing that, runs The Binary Refinery.

Self-insertions are in general a bad idea, but you have a good writing style. I''d like to see more of your work.

Understood. I wasn''t entirely sure who else I could use as the hero of the story, though - short of making up a fictional character, and I managed to base all characters on existing people (or cyberpeople).

There''s a short story I wrote as part of an article on writing at my old site which you might like, then.

As for the rest of my work... eh. Maybe I''ll dig out my story ''Fear of Spiders Runs in the Family...'' that one was popular

Fear of Spiders Runs in the Family

It''s a couple of years old, but still one of my favourite pieces of work.
