The Hidden: Discussion
Okay, so this is something I'm currently working on in between classes and papers and whatnot, a serial of sorts. Anyway, let me know what you think...
The Hidden And be warned, there's plots aplenty to be found here. (GRR!!! How did I get caught by the 90 second rule?? No way that wasn't 90 seconds!)

And it looks like America is going to hell in a hand basket I like how you jump from person to person, kinda telling enough of their story to grab your attention. Nice

America is indeed in a bit of...insecurity. Always fun. Just you wait...
And I really do like doing the different viewpoints, it's kinda like a TV show in a way. It's fun. And it gets good next episode...

That's was cool. For a minute there I thought Troy was going to releve some stress in that scene, if you know what I mean.
Who's the racist? And who was the guy that actually beat Sam? So many questions. Good job, Curub.

It's certainly starting to get interesting. Although the many scene-jumps annoy me a little bit. Still, the formatting, with a breaking up into episodes, the short introduction each episode and the scene-jumps I'm sort of reminded of the TV-series 'Heroes'. I'm wondering if that had an influence?

Actually, I've never seen Heroes, but the format is a bit influenced by TV serials. If I had more time on my hands, I'd be able to write more larger chunks...I sometimes struggle with striking a balance between short snips of action and longer chapters.
(Although, I should add, the concept itself is inspired in part by the premise of Heroes)

Oh, yeah...and I haven't been writing lately, because of an influx of college work, but that's nicely tapering down now.

Yes, a nice surprise. Just one that kinda occurred to me. The way characters were coming along, it just seemed to make sense. And as for your next two questions...well, that's to be answered...in the future.
