I ended up spending a lot of time playing smash and working on Vault this weekend, so I only got through Chapter 7.  I've been writing a little less as your writing has improved, but I'm still up to 8.75 pages of feedback for 77 pages read.  I'll keep at it during the week.  It's definitely been a fun read so far!

That is so great! :D Like I said before, don't feel like you have to be rushed into reading the story. Feel free to work on your own things and go at your own pace, and read more when you feel like it. If you'd like to send them to me, I'd love to take a look at what feedback you've given so far, but if you'd rather wait and give it all at once, that's fine, too. Most of all, I'm glad that you're enjoying the idea of the story. I haven't really shown it to many people before, so I was worried that I would be the only one who found the story concept even half-way interesting. Haha.

Alright, I sent you what I had so far, since it's not really productive for you to sit around and wait for me to finish the whole thing.  I wrote it all as I read it, and didn't go back and change things, so there are a few stream-of-thought type things and guesses about plot, which are just to help you get a feel for where my head was at as a reader.  Let me know if you have any questions.

I LOVE IT

I've sent you a PM.

I'll try to read this when I get a chance. I know how difficult it can be sometimes to get feedback NIP. I'm not sure if you already know about fantasywriters.org, but if you're not a member I would highly recommend joining that site. They have a very welcoming community where you can review each others stories. They also hold monthly writing contests where members are challenged to create a short story that fits certain criteria.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm actually really happy with the feedback that I've been getting so far, but maybe I'll poke my head in there sometime and take a look. :)

I read chapter 8, but I'm going to wait until I finish a few more until I send you the next update

EDIT: finished 9 and 10 as well.  I'll probably send the next batch of comments tomorrow night.

Sounds great! I've already made a lot of improvements from the first round of suggestions that you sent. Thanks again. You've given some great advice so far.

Sent chapters 8-11, and ended up writing more (I'm up to 14.25 pages of feedback for 116 pages read).

I'd be willing to read it as well if you'd like another pair of eyes.

Thank you SO much!!! <3

Your feedback has been fantastic! :D I'll definitely keep you informed as I make revisions and finish writing the story. Hopefully it hasn't been so bad that you don't want to see it through. Haha.

Sounds good, I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
