Despite reading ...I love your dialogue only shorts! Despite reading Max's comments on Twitter, I thought they were male and female, although which was which changed as I read. On first read, I assumed the first speaker was female, but that made the dialogue flow really weird for me. Upon re-reading it, the giant is the girl and the mediocre kisser is the boy, mostly because it's unusual for a guy to take offence at being called tall. Although, as Max said, they could both be men, or women for that matter. The sex of the speakers doesn't affect it too much. It's more fun to leave it open and that way the reader enjoys it best however they want.

For s...The comedy in this dialogue shines through.<br /><br />For some reason, I imagine one character as a giant of the fairytale variety, and the other character as a creature of fantasy, like an elf. An elf with either lifts or heels. =) Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912167351889969855noreply@blogger.com
