As a dual-threat fan/pro writer and host of the forums, I really ought to chip in with my two cents' worth, but unfortunately I've been a bit too busy and disorganized over the past few days to sit down and read it yet. (And given that Memorial Day is upon us here in the states and I've been volunteered to host/cook the annual family barbeque on Monday, that's not going to stop soon.) Until I can, in lieu of giving you specific advice on your story, Shader, I'll point you at the writer's guide I've been slowly compiling over the years, in the hopes that you can find something of use in it.

called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the sun grows dim and cold....
