This was great, and I like your shorts about people meeting one another. They feel so very human. I caught a typo: "florescent" for "fluorescent". There might have been another but I was too engrossed to catch it when I went back to find it.<br /><br />The Droraan seems much more alien than the Median, but I like that. It gave me something to imagine. Well done!alphabetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305229870777987796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5473819170664052953.post-40913534299412501352010-10-07T11:40:23.343-04:002010-10-07T11:40:23.343-04:00a very cute tail, ahem, tale.

Yeah, it didn't work out well.<br /><br />Great job!Jonathan Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14841202262555830312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5473819170664052953.post-6197285213342288142010-10-07T10:11:31.821-04:002010-10-07T10:11:31.821-04:00"cursing in fluent French as it grabbed at th..."cursing in fluent French as it grabbed at the oranges rolling away in every direction."<br /><br /> - I would have loved to read and consequently not understand some French cuss words. <br /><br />It made me giggle inside to think of a furry alien creature budding.

Droraans do have two parents but the species has no males or females. <br /><br />Boy did I have a time writing all those 'its'. It felt vaguely disrespectful.J. A.

The tail, the feast, the oranges, the bonding.<br /><br />I love that there are a handful of computer shops. Of course there are.<br /><br />A very sweet kiss. I'm charmed.<br /><br />Do they have to mate? Can they just bond? Ceremonial gene fusing. Love. Also, parents? Does Teren have more than one? (If not -- if I've understood this correctly -- I *love* it when a POV character thinks or observes something not-quite-accurately. If so, I want to know more. Either way I want to know more!)<br /><br />Very nice story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
