			<description><![CDATA[Thanks for troubling to say so, Tim. The characterizations were indeed a bit tricky here, as the narrative rides on the line of pulp. I'm heartened you felt the people were more than cartoon.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you kindly, I Cordwallis. In terms of where this story fits in the grander timeline of my other fiction, you're right to nail this as relatively early days on Mars/Ares...I can't remember which details made it into the final draft, but at one point Dell stopped to think about the "undoming" process happening in the city as it is piece by piece exposed to the new air.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My personal favourite of the issue :D I like the sparse dialogue, precise, clipped. You effectively make your characters 3-dimensional and unique with just a few choice words and decisions. Love it!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Another fine slice of Martian arcana there, Mr Brown, whose greatest weakness was also its greatest strength, inasmuch it left me wanting more. I too enjoyed the corporation-based names, though was fortunate, or not, to spot them on the first go around, if only because reading prior work of yours has got me on the look-out for little touches like that. Also, glad to see carapaces make an appearance - can never have too many carapaces. Additionally, as I slowly work my way through your canon, I would presume that this story, if it fits in anywhere, is set prior to the whole Ares empire thing, right? Finally, I concur with your comment above, that boundaries are good for creativity; I fancy myself as a bit of a writer, see, but I only have a couple of ideas, yet I consider them such fine ideas that I hope to peddle out variations on them from now until the day that I'm recycled as compost. Keep up the wallahing, CB.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks, Laura. Also I suppose there's a certain irony in Nivea's name, given her complexion. The culture of sponsored names is an element that features in many of my stories that take place on Earth or feature expats elsewhere in the system.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dell, Kraft, Benylin, Zeneca, Daimler, Wrigley. I didn't notice the corporate origin of the Earthish/Terran names until the second read. Excellent details. Loved the story.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks, Pat. The trouble is, it's the only thing I know how to draw. You can't imagine the lengths of imagination I have to go to in order to make every story I write tie-in somehow to a burning robot and/or crash test dummy. But boundaries are good for creativity.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mr. Kruger, you are a literary spammer after my own heart. Who could resist a novel synopsis like this: "The story is a Manichean tug-of-war, a metaphysical and violent combat between the forces of creativity and nihilism, between the cunning and the brute, the ignorant and the learned." I vote for the learned, because I want to see them whale on the ignorant with mortarboards and such.]]></description>
