I have a strange little short story that I have to get into shape for an Irish anthology. It retells a short tale of classic Irish folklore with two frequently alternating viewpoints. The language is meant to be archaic as the setting is pre-Christianity. I'm committed to the style of narration but I really need some extra eyes to look over the language etc. If it helps I can share the original folklore but that will spoil the first reading. If anybody fancies taking a look, I'd be happy to reciprocate with a free will of short story or novel chapters. Cheers Turnip Mortal Wound - Irish folklore retold

Cheers Turnip Mortal Wound - Irish folklore retold I'll try to have a look at it this afternoon. Please do not reciprocate at the moment. I am currently revising the two books that I have uploaded. They are only there to avoid accusations of reviewing without having work posted.

I'll be taking up the suggestions from yourself and Harry above. The blades and severing and tied to pillar and stuff are all images from the legend. I could explain here but don't want to spoil it in case of other readers. so, if you're interested: from p339 on

But can you be sure that readers of the anthology will be familiar with the legend? It must be possible to clarify it a bit without labouring the point. However, it is your story and I wish you well with it.

Quote: Turnip,[/quoteHarry, would you like a freewill of 1513? I've just uploaded a 2000 word short story, 'Strands of Copper'. It has not been seen here. A critique of that would be of interest. But you can look at the historical novel 1513 if you prefer. (It is much longer) Thanks Harry
