Sounds like a good start to me, can't wait to see it all put together.

Square's Final Fantasy series, Willow, and Record of Lodoss War have also been
large sources of inspiration for me. Then again, I tend to look at everything
as possible inspiration, whether or not I actually use the ideas I get is a
totally different animal.

Nice work. Your practice has served you well young jedi. I don't know if
anyone has ever used oars as props before, but I have a sinking suspicion that
someone has.

Very, very cool stuff. You've worked quite hard on building your world. Like
I said before, I can't wait to see it all come together. I'll be anxiously
awaiting your website's launch. I especially like some of the architectual
features you've put into the larger of your structures.
I don't know of anyone who's been turned down, but don't give up hope. I sent
an email (although futile) asking ozbricks if I could recieve or pay for an
extension on my website's size limits. While I didn't expect to get a positive
answer, I have yet to recieve a reply. I suspect that the webmaster of
Ozbricks is a busy busy man, and probably doesn't always have time to answer
all requests.

I wish you luck, producing a full fledged story is hard work, but at the end of
the day, it's something that you can be very proud of.
