[Where_are_the_gnomes?]

For English, in my class we had to do an analysis on a short story, (from anywhere) and I chose "A Terror to Behold"!

A few days after I present it, Threetoe comes out with another story, much longer and more awesome. (Why did I have to do my presentaion early?)

I had to include at least a five minute talk on DF before the analysis, since no one in my class seemed to no what it was. (At least none of them admitted to it.) But now everyone in my class knows about it!

Does anyone know of any fan pages where we can post our own DF-development stories?

Good job Threetoe

btw I'm a junior and I got an A for the presentation: lol.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "DF-development stories". If you mean you wrote some stories in Threetoe's style with an analysis at the end: they could go in Suggestions if you're after discussion about stuff being implemented; they could go in Community Games & Stories if they were inspired more directly from DF; they could go in Creative Projects if they are mostly stand-alone; or they could just go in DF General Discussion. You could also split up the discussion a little by posting the stories in CG&S where they'd usually go, then making an analysis thread in Suggestions with a link to the CG&S thread. If you mean stand-alone sites for DF stories, I think there were a couple other than the wiki, but I didn't look at them much, and don't even remember what they were called.

Thanks Nivm for explaining those locations. Maybe after some editing and consideration I will post them.

Having been a bit daunted by the length, I only just read it last night; really great story!

I'm not widely read in fantasy (Tolkien and Erikson are about the scope of what I know) but I find Threetoe's stories very fresh... the characters have clear and often extreme personalities (dictated by their condition in the world itself) which goes a long way towards selling the reality of the world IMO.  Cado's Journey was a good chance to see a range of personalities of the peoples of the world and as a story/blueprint seems like an excellent goal for the "perfect" happy-ending-adventure game.

Also, as others said, the balance required for the magic system seems to be really cool.  There is some huge potential for great gameplay when that makes it into the game.

My favourite story is still, however, the Nation of Man; I'm a sucker for pseudo-historical chronicling and the unforeseen consequences of hero-action.  It was this doubt over the ending of Cado that made it compelling for me.  More long stories in the future?  Hope so!

Threetoe should consider writing a book.

DF Stories is a pretty cool site for fan stories.

A great and epic tale I was thoroughly entertained.

Stop it. Necromancy isn't coming until the next patch.
