Just wanted to say hi. Have been on the site for a while reading... and working on a gamebook. 

Great site and community!

Will publish my book soon... Like in a month or so? 

Anybody interested in a sneak peak to make sure I'm not going to make a complete fool of myself? LOL

Could use the last minute reassurance. ;-)

Hi, glad you decided to check out the forum!

I've noticed your name logged in quite a bit. The description of the game sounds like an interesting approach to writing. I suppose how well the whole concept is integrated into the story will be what determines whether it feels like an edutainment piece or a more traditional fantasy.

Just from a quick glance at the first few pages, I love the whole set up with the constellation and the dragon's eye as an explanation, but I'm not sure if a 'stop reading if you feel anxious' warning is exactly necessary, given anyone clicking around the site is going or reading stories anywhere else is going to find things a lot more intense.

From a technical standpoint, the writing seems fine. The only criticism I can bring up is that it seems you're going heavy on the ellipses in places they're not needed and don't really belong.

Thanks for the feedback! Have been referring some patients to the draft already, but think I'll narrow it down to just a warning for people with panic disorder.   

Just read your profile. Will follow Grammarly's website and attempt to quit my addiction to ellipses. Thanks for the help!

Profile's kind of a wall of text right now, reminds me I've been meaning to redo it.
