Chuckhelius:  Glad you're enjoying the stories.  Agent of Change is nowhere near concluded.

Hakhazar: You have the weirdest abbreviation for the Woodward Academy series.    I'm glad you enjoyed WMR.  I apologize if you, too, are impatiently waiting for the next chapter of WBR.

Eric Storm

Yeah, I suppose WA is a better abbreviation. I guess I just think of it as Woodward, so....

I'd love to see more of WBR, but I understand the words come when they're ready.

I LIKE the concept for the electric aircraft - - - I can only assume that the propulsion is Electrostatic Laminar Flow on the wings. That would be a massive power drain, but a perfect application of the Unit.

great chapter cant wait for the next one

The words used to describe the "real" one are "fluidic propulsion".  Check out Jetoptera's J-2000.  It does not work quite this way, but I find the boxwing structure to be ugly, so I reimagined it for my own use.  I can do that, because it's my story, so nya!  LOL

RE the use in your story, you are correct about it being your story, so you are artistically licensed to modify it to fit your imagery; I was just taking your description and fitting it within the limits of what I knew.

BTW: from the article I found that interviewed the CEO about Jetoptera (link), "… the Jetoptera Fluidic Propulsive System™ (FPS). This appears to be a type of bladeless fan utilizing a high-pressure laminar airflow, …". My mistake was going too far into the future tech and removing the motor-driven aspect of the airflow from the equation and using an electrostatic one (not a working prototype as yet, but being researched for lift enhancement as opposed to strictly being used for propulsion).

Great Chapter I'm curious how Hannah will integrate into the family

Maybe she won't.  Who knows?  :evil:

The most likely scenario would be to have her involved at least until she is of an age to be on her own.
Whether or not she gets entangled in the web that is being spun out from the family home is another matter and depends on how the character feels about what she will see IN that home.
THAT is the meat of the storyteller's craft -- teasing the reader into continuing to read by keeping questions in their mind, while also satisfying their curiosity about what is happening, and that is where Eric has proven the depth of his ability.

Eric, I love Agent of Change. I am currently reading 6 sifi deries stories on line. I check them for updates weekly, except Agent of Change, I check that at least once or twice daily. Such an inventive tale.  You build the plot, the characters, and the twists with a lot of depth and heart. This is in my humble opinion, the Best story I have read.  Sure minor spelling and grammar issues, but damn you keep me coming back for more.  Thanks and I hope this story never ends.

Glad you're enjoying the story.  Spelling and Grammar issues?  Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?  :-P

Eric Storm

Well if you go to Chapter 11 you will find this:

"Nick Shilling, this is Angelo Fattore, and his daughter, Emma."

"Sir.  Ma'am," David said formally.  He didn't offer to shake any hands.  "Would you care to sit down?" he offered.

I think you cross contaminated your stories. I wouldn't have noticed but I was reading it out loud to my wife and noticed it. Twisting your tail aside I am really enjoying the book and most of the ones I like on your site are the ones you write. Have a good one.

Ha!  You only THINK that's a typo.  David is Rachel's cousin who was visiting from out of town, and tends to try to insinuate himself into every situation, even when he really shouldn't.

:-P

Eric Storm

I'd also like to point out that that is neither a spelling error, nor a grammatical one.

:-P :-P

I've spent too much time on bulletin boards and forums - - - I tend to read right through those things, especially when the story is good (and Eric is well able to tell a VERY good story)

Really enjoying this story. Looking forward to the next instalment

While I haven't had any better idea's, I honestly felt the story was going a slightly different direction. I am mostly just posting to see how wasted I am according to the pub standard.

If you feel like I didn't meet your expectation, then you must know what your expectation was.  What direction did you think the story was going in?

Eric Storm

Well, I don't know that you didn't meet my expectations. I do know the direction the story went was not what I was thinking it was going to be. As I said, I don't see any better idea's, it just is not what I had thought it was going to be.

Elessar:

You said:

I don't know that you didn't meet my expectations.

But your very next sentence is:

I do know the direction the story went was not what I was thinking it was going to be.

These statements directly contradict one another.  In order for the direction of the story to not be "what [you] [were] thinking it was going to be", two things have to happen:

1. You have an expectation of where the story is going,
and
2. I didn't go there.  That is, I did not meet that expectation.

So, my question is, as to point 1: what was your expectation of where the story was going?  You have to have had some kind of expectation of where it was going, otherwise I could not have gone in a direction different from what you were expecting, because you wouldn't have been expecting anything.

you and your cliff-hangers - -

Oh you did not just do that.  You wait till the climax then blue balled us.  Now we have to wait for the climax again.  Sheesh.  Bitching about the end aside it was as great as always.  Keep it up. HEHEHEHE

Cliffhanger?  What y'all talkin' about?  I didn't do no cliffhanger...

Waiting on chapter 19. Very good story so far. Thanks
