This is really cool. I never considered actually being rescued in the Minecraft storyline. XD

Lol that was a great story. I especially love the ending, very original and innovative.

I've read so many BAD minecraft fanfics that I only started reading this one with the intent to gather ammunition so that I could flame it. Then... I actually read it. Well crafted, and excellently retaining continuity for its (admittedly) short length, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. If the author doesn't continue to write about Minecraft, then he or she should definitely find some other way to express his or her considerable talents.

I agree with you. Minecraft needs more stories. This is a wonderful addition to the growing world of Minecraft fanfiction. The only thing I didn't like was how you said the interview took 2 hours and then described the narrator's story as 30 minutes - though I suppose the questions could have been 1.5 hours . . .

Anyway, it was a nice story - well structured and written in a flowing way. Good job!

Seconding the notion of this section needing more stories! :D Hell, I'll settle for a few more well-written ones. This is one of them. Very inventive, I haven't thought of the possibility of a "rescue" and what would happen afterwards. This fic was very insightful, and the way you've written it speaks so much of the character. I imagine some worn but wise man, who is no longer surprised by anything but still finds great joy in new things. An enigma of sorts. I love your characterization, and the way you convey their voice is superb. It's snarky and a bit witty, which I enjoyed.

The only error I can think to mention is merely technical. When starting a new paragraph of dialogue, if it's the same speaker, you should leave off the quotation mark at the end of the previous paragraph. This tells the reader that it's the same speaker without them having to wait for any dialogue tags or figure it out from the context.

So, for example, it should be like this:

"Could you sit in the dim light, with nothing but a sword, and hope that some godforsaken skeleton doesn't break through your grassy defense and rain arrows upon you? Last I checked, our species is innovative. We improve, we adapt. That's all I did. Some might say I took it too far. But to me, I just did what I had to.

"I've built great rooms and vast libraries of my adventures. I've created grand fireplaces and temples of gold. I've constructed machines, binaries, logical solutions, all to help me with what I did. I've smelted steel, forged diamonds into sturdy tools, and molded steel into buckets that carried lava to and fro."

I'm not going to copy and paste the entire section, since I'm sure you get the idea.

Very minor, and it only tripped me up for a second when reading, but it's always good to get all the minor kinks out. :3 Thank you for an enjoyable read.
