Gimmicks are fine so long as the author stays aware of the gimmick and doesn't overplay it. This is a fine example of getting that right.<br /><br />Not a favourite, but it gets a thumbs-up from me.InquisitorMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10209346997929773686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-4455173728691709232015-07-02T16:39:22.454-05:002015-07-02T16:39:22.454-05:00NO WAIT I CHANGE MY MINDNO WAIT I CHANGE MY MINDDannyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273313206696087395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-58260019327667852472015-07-01T08:08:44.549-05:002015-07-01T08:08:44.549-05:00"Academy Disaster" is a fun story.

I liked it, but I did find that the cast of characters was large enough and many of their appearances come and go so quickly that I had a hard time keeping straight who everyone was and what their role was supposed to be.<br /><br />As with any of these stories that survive on an unusual gimmick, it derives most of its enjoyment from that uniqueness, but once spent, that uniqueness is gone. That is to say, I liked this story, but if the author did another in the same format, I'd probably pass it up, as it will have lost the charm that helped cover up a pretty thin plot.Pascoitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861834765162800926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-16922608268894379012015-07-01T07:55:30.036-05:002015-07-01T07:55:30.036-05:00Okay then.
