Hi,

I forgot a few positive mentions, which make my comments a little harsh
in hindsight. (When I put up my story and you say something negative and I
complain feel free to link to this post : ) )
> I regret to hear that my plot thus far and my writing have disappointed
> you.
First off I forgot to mention... Aside from LOTR and your and Matt's
books (if his are considered fantasy) I don't read fantasy. That leaves you
and Matt a pretty hard act to follow. So keep in mind when I point stuff out
I'm comparing with the best (LOTR) and not some crummy paperback.
> I will certainly try harder in the future to keep my level of writing

I also forgot to mention that aside from the last 5 chapters and the
first 2 of this new book you were steadily improving. Also my view on you
first two chapters is bias because I (not everyone) prefer stories to start
with an undeveloped character who then gains friends...

I am sure I will enjoy it!

I'll get a copy...

I rank all the stories layed out like yours on Lugnet as a new concept
(building, within pictures, replacing description...)

Well It shows a lot of class that you can take a comment like mine in
your stride (in my -17 hour jet lag I was in no condition to softly phrase...)
But to prove how much I enjoyed your story I will restate here my
encore requests:
-I would love a whole book or at least a couple illustrated pages of
the beginning of your world (based on the intro to your first book)
-I also think the jackels deserve a book (or short story).
God Bless,
And thanks for taking my rant so well!
Nathan
