So I've been sitting here at work reading all the "After The Pandemic" entries. I'm a big scifi buff, and some of y'all are REALLY talented writers. The universe created is really cool, MOST of the stories intriquing. I only wish some were longer/had more installments.
The ones I didn't like, and WHY:
Enemy of my Enemy: Bringing in "real" vampires changes the complete context of ATP. ATP is SciFi based, not fantasy. No telekenises or ancient vampires, please.
Origins: WTF @ space, space stations, aliens, and the space pope? WRONG genre. Also, didn't think it read as well as the others.
Sacrifice of 9 men: Not horrid, but the author took a good story, and wrote it in a setting as they pleased. it's like when the teenage mutant ninja turtles went back to feudal Japan. It just doesn't FIT!
All that said, I like all the differing stories. The world is covered (outside of the stories I bitched about) in a fairly consistant fashion- from the view of a retriever, a smuggler, a leech leader, a lone aircraft carrier, etc. Very creative.
And those of you tired of the story? Grow up and shut the **** up. No one is forcing you to click on the links. Damn internet geeks.

==============================================
Fair enough. Though I'd argue it doesn't change the context at all. It puts another player in the game, but only for authors who choose to use them. I decided on that because I wanted to do something that no one else was doing, and I thought the idea of "traditional" vampires waking up to this world would be interesting.
What did you think about the story besides that? For example, part 1, where there are no "traditonal" vampires.
Incidentally, I agreed with a lot of what you said.

I did like this one, but no need to be a jackass.

I was simply trying to illustrate why everyone is jumping your ass. When you choose to knock something off the front page that has content by posting something that should have been a review, you will hear about it. The more often you do it, the more you will hear about it. If you don't care, then go for it. If you want to participate here in a positive way, cut it out.

If you're going to make condescending remarks when rating posts,
you might want to check that you actually understood the story.
-2 for reading comprehension.

It's your opinion, so I might just give you a zero.
I wrote my stories the way I wanted to. I will link it to present day.

This is what "rate this item" was created for. Give it a go.
That "submit" thingy? It indicates that there should be ACTUAL content.
That "hook me up" thingy? Another reminder to not post crap.
I have faith that you can do it.

"The "opinion" people: I'm crushed, I'm going to go e-kill myself. LMAO, get creative, for God's sake. Now go cry in your livejournals."
Here's a hint: Maybe -- just maybe -- people are telling you this because NO ONE FUCKING CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION? I mean, you liked some stuff, and you hated some other stuff. Not that that's not great and all, but ... who are you again?

===========================================
First let me say I was extremley high and on prescrition painkillers for my out patient surgery when I wrote that, so I realize that the tenses get fucked up. Also when the guy orates the story, I have it set in the vatican so who is the space pope?
Read the second part, and it will make sense.

I had intended to do double weird twist. I didn't want to fuck up the story line with that horseshit about spaceships.
