Thanks for the review, Jimmy, and for the nice compliments.
FWIW, I pretty much agree with your reservations about "A Flustered
Duck." I was aiming low to start with. I wrote it mainly as a way to
learn Inform 7. I had a little fun along the way, and I hope other
people will too. Of literary ambitions the project had none.
Only one minor point mars the review: Mabel is clearly a female duck,
not "he."

Great editorial. Makes me want to play The King of Shreds and Patches.
Lots of other stuff to read too, so it'll last a few days. Good job!

Woops! As the kids say today, my bad.
By the way, what happened to your blog? I used to pop over to read what
you were up to from time to time, and now it seems to have disappeared
without a trace.

Oh, you were getting there from the link on the MusicWords home page,
weren't you? That link was temporarily suspended, but it will be back
before long. The blog is precisely where it was before --
