CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

This was something I woke between naps today...really meant to sit down and scribble it for quite some time, but today was my first chance. Ok, comments appriciated, like always:


Daniel McAlister was well aware of the fact he was feeding the stereotypical lawyer image: leaning back in his comfortable, cushioned chair behind a stack of paperwork as tall as his thin frame, balancing a pen on his upper lip.

A Christian lawyer—“non sequitur termsâ€

I like this^_^. There is going to be more, right?

Actually, no, I hadn't planned on it. What would you have like to see?

Sorry, I didn't realize what a 'vignette' was. I really need to brush up my vocabulary! Well then...good story! I liked it^_^

Nicely done, Ashley. This vignette is a rather telling allegory for someone in the Christian walk of life, at least to me. :2)

The vignette literally means scene..it's a theater term (ex-drama groupie speaking).

Who's Tracer Bullet? Just curious. I don't think I understand vignettes. Your dialogue rotates around the action well - you give your characters movement. It's not stiff, like mannequins communicating with one another, and that's good.

Thanks! Dialogue/action has taken a long time for me to try to get down...glad itseems to work now.
Tracer Bullet was an obscure reference to the film noir detective spoof Bill Waterson made in his comic Calvin and Hobbes.

I'm actually thinking about using this piece for an english assignment I just got today. What'dya think?

If they don't mind if you only write a middle and no beginning and an end. That's partly why I think I didn't understand the vignette thing.

It is unfortunate I somehow missed this thread until now. I don't really do vignettes, but I have quite a bit of appreciation for the artform. This is well done. Perhaps some of that has to do with my own personal beliefs, and the story rings very true for me. Excellant.

It was actually based on a real event here in Houston. The article was true; there was a crime lab down here that was shut down because some of the forensic scientists did not have enough college credit--and I'm talking basic stuff like chemistry or comp I--so their degrees were revoked. Caused a lot of turmoil down here. Glad you liked it.
