I've been writing in chop for a while now. I think it works for me, but my most trusted beta reader did not approve. At all. I think it mostly depends on the way things are done and the tone. There's certainly a couple of sentences that I could have combined and so forth.

But that, my friends, is the job of an editor. And I'm a terrible self editor.

Ralph, our original idea was for Sherlock Holmes, but we found out that Holmes was not PD in the USA. So, we went with the next best thing, the inventor of the detective novel
