Nigel Gordon Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I was positive this topic existed at one time, as I am sure I posted to it, however I have been unable to find it, so maybe it got mislaid in the move over to the new server. Anyway if you are not reading this followup to Leopard Skin Cover, you should be, it is a great story and it is well told. One thing I would seriously recommend is that you follow the links at the end of Chapter 29, thanks Graeme for putting them there, they were very informative and very interesting, I just hope people follow them. Oh, almost forgot, you can find Leopard Spots here: http://awesomedude.com/graeme/leopard-spots/index.htm Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Can we string up Graeme for issuing cliff hangers, or is that to entice those to watch the next episode? Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Can we string up Graeme for issuing cliff hangers, or is that to entice those to watch the next episode? No, he is just copying Charles Dickens and Conan Doyle, they used to serialize their novels and left each chapter with a cliff hanger. Link to comment
Graeme Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Thank you! I've been trying to set this story against real-life events. Those links at the end of chapter 29 are an example. Similarly for the links at the end of chapter 13. Sometimes real-life throws up things that an author of fiction would struggle to get away with Even when sometimes those events are tragic As for cliffhangers, I hope I've been using them sparingly Link to comment
colinian Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Cliff hangers are a story's equivalent of highway direction signs: They points you to the direction you need to go. Colin Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Was bored and read this all. Want more. Get another piece tomorrow. Link to comment

Lugnutz Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Sounds like what Jim Henderson would sound like until he came out. Link to comment
Graeme Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 That's what I thought, too. Link to comment
dude Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Wow... the story is heating up as it winds down. I found myself jumping up and cheering with every Leopards goal and I have taken a real interest in Aussie Rules competition. I wonder where I can watch AFL games... I have a VPN service with servers in Australia so I can probably get the on air channels there but not sure which network carries AFL games or their schedules. Anyway this is a great story and although it only has one more chapter... the story will go on... with -unfortunately- a gap. Loving the characters and I feel like a real insider in this story as I've been following the saga from the beginning. If you haven't started reading yet... it's not too late! Mike Link to comment
Graeme Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Thanks, Mike! Options for watching AFL matches: Australia: http://www.afl.com.au/broadcastguide International: http://www.afl.com.au/tv-radio/international-broadcast-partners If you're willing to pay: http://watchafl.afl.com.au/ Just so any readers know, what's happened is that my work commitments have really cut into my writing time, so I wasn't going to be able to keep going to the end that I originally wanted. Instead, I've decided to bring Leopard Spots to an end with chapter 57, and then I'll continue the next part of the story as a new story (Book 3 of the Lilydale Leopards). Unfortunately, because of those work commitments, I'm not going to be ready to start posting the new story anytime soon...but I do promise I am writing that story Link to comment
