But I started to wonder if maybe topangamaria simply doesn't want to be like ME! Can't say as I blame her :-)Greg Pincushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449684160718426340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-1144071667201637482006-04-03T06:41:00.000-07:002006-04-03T06:41:00.000-07:00I just stumbled across this and thought it was int...I just stumbled across this and thought it was interesting enough to merit a comment. I, like the others, prefer #2, and I'd like to add to topangamaria that the last line can't be deleted due to the style of the poem. It could be changed, but it would still need to follow the format. And I don't think the change is even necessary; it's fine how it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-1143533972446674632006-03-28T00:19:00.000-08:002006-03-28T00:19:00.000-08:00POE POE POE.Okay.

It really depends on the book. Where's Waldo, for instance, doesn't exactly give me a plot to deal with... but that doesn't mean it can't be Oddapted. Others clearly have both aspects. The question really is whether it's "fair" to skip plot to go straight to my point of view. I think it's better not to, but again, it's probably book related. Though if others wanna join in, I'm all ears.Greg Pincushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449684160718426340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-1143305884439193002006-03-25T08:58:00.000-08:002006-03-25T08:58:00.000-08:00PS...IMHO your "Oddaptations" a very interesting/p...PS...IMHO your "Oddaptations" a very interesting/promising concept, and very much look forward to your development .....In that connection, suggest the choice you pose...plot summary/straight w/ pov..unnecessary.....Why not both..??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-1143304631886656702006-03-25T08:37:00.000-08:002006-03-25T08:37:00.000-08:00GK.....Much prefer the second....rapid fire action...GK.....Much prefer the second....rapid fire action......In fact, as fast as lightning....ggAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-1143272102884437522006-03-24T23:35:00.000-08:002006-03-24T23:35:00.000-08:00Thanks, David.
