Thanks for all the comments! All the suggestions so far have been most helpful. It seems the story is on the right track, which is good. The two most common “constructive criticisms” so far have been regarding showing who’s speaking in the dialogue and the navigation from page to page.

Next episode we’re going to try out the face-pic avatar idea, and if that works, we’ll go back and retrofit the first two episodes as well. We’ll also be simply using all italics for thoughts and all caps for sound effects (with a general avatar for those as well, I think). Hopefully that will allow folks to focus more on the story and less on figuring out who’s talking!

For navigation, I’m going to implement some javascript so that the page doesn’t have to reload each time and you can keep the mouse pointer hovering over one link to go to the next page. And we’ll make the NEXT link a little more obvious :)

Thanks again!
