My first Stoker Nomination, I was up against Joyce Carol Oates and Stephen King. I'm told I beat out King but neither of us beat out the winner, Steve and Melanie Tem.

I was listening to this show while driving, and suddenly heard my name. Freaky! I had to rewind because I couldn't imagine what I had done to deserve a nomination. Ah, yes: all for a deeply silly song with amateurish production values. The bad news is, I have no hope of winning. The good news is, if I did win, it would grant me entry into one of the most exclusive clubs of all: those who have beaten out Neil Gaiman for an award!

Hope you fully enjoy the ending. As to the possessive of "Dickens" Mssrs. Strunk and White, Chapter I, Note 1 (p. 2) make the point that proper names ending in the letter 's' take an apostrophy 's'. Thus: the possessive of Dickens is Dickens's. The exception being "ancient names as in Jesus' and Isis' et al. I'm certain that common usage is dispensing with these rules, but not on Sarum Hill and not, certainly, among the Literary Historians of Kings! Gonzalo on "Aural Delights No 111 Lawrence Santoro Lord Dickens's Declaration Pt 2" http://www.starshipsofa.com/forum/topic.php?id=1098#post-10104 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 12:51:07 +0000 Gonzalo 10104@http://www.starshipsofa.com/forum/ Just finished listening to Part 2 of Lord Dickens's (shouldn't it be Dickens' - I can't remember the rule) Declaration and am in awe at the world Larry has managed to create and flesh out in such a short time. Part 1 had me intrigued - I didn't know where the story was going, but the setting and characters, and, dare I say, the reading, were top notch. I also like all the little in-jokes or nods to characters in "our" timeline - although these are easy to miss while listening. I'll have to re-read this more slowly once Larry's done with the narration. The second part just got its hooks into me - now I just wonder how this is going to be wrapped up. All the to-ings and fro-ings in time and the neat quantum-like explanation of how simply observing events can cause them to be subtly altered (or is it disaccommodated?) are reminiscent of the multiple drafts any story must go through and the feeling some authors must have that the story will never be done. Will this story reach a stable equilibrium in time - doesn;t this mean that the ability to travel through time must therefore be remeoved - as if it had never had been? Whatever the conclusion, I can't wait. Roll on Part 3!
