Reviews for Moon Over... Just Over

    Hahahahah, wow, that was a funny one. I have to say I didn't get it. I mean, if the station is called "Moonbase Alpha," how can they be running out of moon dust? Unless they had been in the moon when it blew up and they were now drifting in space? If that's the case, OUCH, that looks very bad. And highly ironic, too.

    Either way, I liked the hilarity and the cliffhanger ending, which worked really well, for a drabble. I can't really comment on much, since anything I might suggest would be outweighed by the unimpeachable word count. One of the disadvantages of these prompts, I suppose. Still, the writing itself was good, managed to convey the setting fairly well (and as usual, I'm sure I'd have got a lot more if I had ever heard of the show, hah!).

    The title is brilliant. Best title I think I've seen for a while. I don't honestly know why it appeals to me so much, but it does! Fits the story well, but beyond that it's fantastic word play.

    Sounds like they're screwed, unless maybe they could use the moon dust they have less to make jackhammers and make some more? Presumably the process would be too inefficient though, so they'd still die...

    Ow, that would reek. Guess they're gonna make for a museum when they all die for some primatives to puzzle over as they pass through another system.

    How does one run out of moon dust unless there is no more moon to turn into dust? :P Never seen or heard of the show, but you managed to include enough in that short story that I was still able to understand the premise!

    Oh, wonderful ending to this! Short, sweet and light on moon dust...perfect. You packed quite a bit into so few words, and I'm positively envious.
