noob here... hopefully, I'm doing this right!
My Crit [916]
My Short story, "Doofus"
Humanity struggles to interpret an alien transmission, leaving the obscure Doofus office to confront why the message only nearly makes sense.
In addition to a general/overview critique, I'm especially interested in:
- How's the pacing and "tightness"? Too much exposition, or just right?
- Is the scientific stuff plausible? Realistic? Too made up?
- Do the cultural references and absurdities resonate broadly enough to illustrate the points? If you're too old/young will you miss it?
