Wow, I think you even got the extra credit for mentioning another writer’s character. I love the idea of walking into ficlets.holo and holo-experiencing stories, but you might have been a bit heavy-handed with all the holos.

nice and the extra credit

@TBS: Ya?? Hmm… Lemme see what i can do ..

@TBS: Ya – you’re right. I removed some; reworked others. hope it’s an easer read.

haha, this would be pretty sweet!! I really like where you took this one. =)
LoA

Holy Holo-dyn, Batman! Now that’s a future I could live in. Everyone still alive and writing well into their 90s.

Now I don’t think I’ll be able to live in the future unless this happens. I’ll be filled with a longing that won’t be quenched…thanks a lot.

awesome! I love the imagery of the lobby and avatars that conjured in my mind when I read this!

Actually… in 2075 I’ll only be 79. Heh… I’ll still be writing then if I’m anything like my great-grandmother.

Cool concept. The idea of the ficleteers avatar doing a little “ficlet reading” in the virtual cyberspace. How awesome would it be if the holo-dyn could actually play out the scene for you? Ooooh, imagining the possibilities.
And that second sentence needs a comma after “with a wave,” to denote that the screen is not waving. Ana could probably explain the exact grammar reasoning. All I know is it helps to pause after “with a wave.”

And just like that, the comma is added!
Thanks for pointing it out John!

Great envisioning of future-tech and its uses. Totally blushing here, and I love the nod to Sissy and Gramps. Very inventive and nicely done.

Nice…Kinda reminds me of Johnny NMonic on the computer.

Gives me an idea.

That’s one of my favorite THX series and you gave us such a cool vision of a possible future with the inclusion of “holo-dyns.”
@ John Perkins, I guess the grammatical reasoning behind the phrase “With a wave” needing a comma is that it’s a prepositional phrase at the beginning of the sentence and needs a comma to separate it from the subject. If that makes any sense. My brain gets a bit fuzzy when I’m not teaching during the summer. ;)

@Ana: I believe you are correct. And if by some miracle you’re NOT —it sure sounded good to me!

hahaha, this is amazing.
if this doesn’t happen in real life, i will be consumed with grief that my greatest dream did not come true.

Awesome…why hasn’t anyone made this a reality yet? I’m not sure if I can wait until 2075, it sounds like a dream come true!

This would be AWESOME !
