New Eyrie!

My problem is that even if you take the same sized 'chunk' of the original, Gryph did a better job of presenting his characters and their voices.

---

I'm reserving judgement on the characterizations at the moment.

The story's okay, it's not his best though. I felt the original was very well crafted, and he's not working to the same standard right now.

---

I'm also wondering why he's re-doing this story. A while back he basically said that the story needed to be re-done because Priss and Sylvie were not going to be in the 3WA, they were going to be part of ACROSS. I think there's a discussion about this somewhere on the EPU board, including how "Day of Infamy" might need tweaking because it mentions P & S being at the 3WA Academy when they were really off playing with really big mecha. OK, I can buy that - the characters changed over the years and he needed to change the story.
So I was really surprised when right from the beginning of this latest when I realized his previously stated reason for the re-write was moot - Priss & Sylvie are not professional big mech pilots in ACROSS, they did join 3WA after all. (and no one but the writers knows if there are any other major differences or not because the new one is a *&Y^%$#EW@ serial!)
Eyrie Board readers know G's been publicly cringing about the original UF stories for ages. Then there's that thread he started a while back that seemed to come into being solely so he could complain about how bad he thought "Hopelessly Lost" was. I'm starting to wonder if "Cybertron Dreams" is getting a re-write because G's on an "old is bad" kick.
