We, The Infected

I shared my thoughts about LTODD with another Infected via e-mail back in December. And now I'd like to share same here: *SPOILERS!* I've finished perusing LTODD, and I figured I might share some thoughts on the stories; see if you concur. First, when it comes to the title story and "The Final Handl...

It happens, bud...we all sympathize. Welcome to Team Eli, by the way. It's nice to see the Olde Sod ably represented.

And in the right hands, I think it could be a great film. Probably not one that would appeal to a wide audience, but then LTROI wasn't a...

If computer imaging can be used to turn a person into an alien -- and do it so believably -- then it's only a small step to being able to reshape the b...

Hello, tnarg, and welcome to Team Eli. Nice avatar, by the way. :)

Working together, our undead lovers could procure blood without taking innocent l...

Yeah, unfortunately I'm one of those Swedish-challenged folks. I'm guessing you never have the occasion to handle any of John's English translated works.

I can't compete with the fan fiction people because I'm too much a visual person, and not too good with words. I disagree, Ash-meister. The old saying " A picture is worth a thousand words " comes to mind. The right picture/photo/painting at the right time to the right person can stir the soul as e...

That's a pretty good photo-shop job all-around, Ash. Kudos. :)
