Sofaspud Wrote:At the end, I found myself wanting more. It's hard to ask for more than that, I think. Doug feels a little different -- a little less keen on going off half-cocked, perhaps? -- and at the same time seems amazingly willing to take things at face value. It's hard to reconcile these two viewpoints, but that's the impression I got from the piece so far. I'm not sure if that's deliberate or if it's my misinterpretation.I was actually wondering about that myself, since a usual theme of the DW stories we've seen so far is for him to have violent disagreements with established characters...until it all smooths out in the end, of course. Which fits with the whole chaos factor thing with his character. Yet it does make sense for Doug to grow, to mature, to gain more wisdom - for the sake of the narrative, of course, he'd probably never stop being a musical monkey wrench on a motorcycle, but that's a different matter.
Granted, it's also just the first chapter. I wasn't expecting to see this go up, honestly - a nice surprise, particularly when I'm just about to get off work. Not done reading it yet, but it looks great as always.
