Thanks for the fave!
There were little tweaks, here and there. Very little. I didn't think it really needed much alteration. The biggest changes occur when the reality of Sond as a large naga or some other difference in the world necessitates a creative solution.
I found it nice to not need much change, after the large swap of bat and snake, in the prologue. :}

Nice read. All the interactions and gestures of not exactly typical anthro species were damn cool to observe. Too bad there wasn't more about the spider. She held a bit too still for the events unfolding :)
The minor gripes are a couple logic holes and the missing "with" in the end scene.

The secretary scene was so cute and I loved the auction scene! The exasperation and study of expressions was wonderful and really brought up the energy of the quirky, cheeky Moore-ish Sond.
The way Bond was written in the Moore movies makes him seem a bit too overconfidant, sometimes. The auction-house play was smart, but I think doing a sleight of hand switch on the egg would have been going a bit too far. Everyone would have been looking at him! And then already having bought a plane ticket was just a bit more impertinent icing on the overconfidence cake. :P

Oh, absolutely. He's the ultimate cocky bastard in the movies from that era, haha. :}===<
I'm so glad you liked it. I had thought that this was the weakest of all the Octopusssy things I made. O:
Thanks for the fave, once more!
Also, I remember being really impressed by the sleight of hand with the egg, back when I first saw the film, as it's done very smoothly, and if you're not expecting it, you could totally not realize what he's doing.

You get all the faves, my ophidian friend.
Maybe it feels weaker to you because the majority of the action is people sitting in chairs trying to buy expensive egg shapes. Personally, I was pleased with the cobra, Kamal, stewing in his seat and Fanning fretting about Sond's speculative bid baiting.
Perhaps it's the rewriting of slight variations in the common Bond office scenes that demerits the viewing of your work. (Though, technically, there has to be a weak link in every chain; I suppose this one would probably be it considering the others in competition.)

You're too kind, my antler'd amigo. :}===<
It's pretty dull, yes. In the older Bond movies, the tradition of the early scenes with Moneypenny and M were part of the familiar windup before the launch into another new, fresh adventure. So, even if they're a bit staid, they need to be there to do the groundwork. :>
