Thanks, Martin, that really means a lot!

I should admit, though, that I’m not really writing any other fiction at the moment, so all my energies are going into FFF at the mo (he says, having failed to post one this week).

A little behind on my reading after a week in bed, but this is shit hot. Some of you guys are getting really good at this – I feel like I’m going to have to raise my game (even though I know it’s not a competition).

This type of story is a really hard job to pull off well, nice job – very enjoyable.

And yet another that’s been sitting about here waiting to be read… sigh.

Manfred is, IIRC correctly, in three of the short stories which form the first ‘chunk’ of Accelerando – a brilliant, if somewhat fragmented, novel-type-thing.

Cheers guys! I’ve not tried to write anything in as unusual a voice as this before, so I’m glad I got it right. I was worried it drifted over the course of the story despite efforts to bring it back into line.

I’ve not heard of Manfred Macx before – is he a part of the Laundry series? I’ll have to keep an eye open.
