No problem, Tuinor. I didn't realize that until you pointed it out.

I just caught up on what you've written so far, Tuinor . A very interesting story still. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next . . . so
Sa'if was shot?
That was a surprise! A very unexpected twist.

Oh, one thing you may want to alter is the name of the princess. "Snow White" keeps making me think of Disney, with the silly cartoon character singing, "I'm wishing . . . I'm wishing . . . for the one I love . . . to find me . . . to find me . . . today . . ."

Don't make me think of that . Your Snow White comes across as a much more serious and intelligent character, but her name keeps making me imagine the cartoon .

I can't do that, Lief! I'm sorry if it's ruining the story for you, but she's basically the reason I started writing this story. I wanted to write an alternate story to an old fairytale, so I picked Snow White and started writing about Sky. It stinks that this is ruining the story for you, though. Maybe I can eventually rename her (Like give her an elvish name or something) so that you're not always thinking of the cartoon. Until then, I'm sorry about ruining it for you.

It doesn't ruin the story- don't get me wrong. I didn't know you were trying to write an alternative story to the fairy tale either. If I had, I might not have suggested changing the name. I just felt like the princess is a cool and serious character, and that name makes me think of the Disney, so giving her some other name would be something you might want to consider as a possibility. But this definitely doesn't ruin the story for me.

I just read your most recent post and look forward to hearing more .

Just one note is that you may not want to have Aevor and Sky talk about what order Aevor will discuss these creatures in. It doesn't really matter at all what order he uses to talk about the creatures, so having him ask Sky what order he'd like to hear about them in doesn't really add anything.

I'm also interested to see how they'll figure into events.

Wouldn't it be funny if the monsters never showed up?

Just read your latest post. It was a neat little history lesson. I'd eventually like to hear more about the mentioned nations, but maybe that will come later. I especially like how organic your characters are/were/will be. Keep it up, iced T

Hey, all! Sorry about not posting on here in a while. I've been real busy with college life, which is why I guess I haven't replied here that much.

Thanks a lot for the input, Lief! I'm glad that the whole story isn't ruined by Disney. *shakes hand angrily* DARN YOU, DISNEY!

Acalewia, I appreciate the support you've been giving as well, and I'm sorry I don't get around to posting about your stories (which have so far all been excellent).

About the twists, well: Good stories are like roller coasters, they're funner if you add more twists.

Nautipus... you're weird. Just kidding, man! Thanks for the complement!

*Casts scathing look towards Tuinor*
I am not, and just because you said that, I am going to join forces with Disney, and lead an army of opium-addicted chinamen to desroy you!

Anyway, great section about the Feints. Seemed somewhat familiar .
I rally am looking forward to seeing what they can do, and how your little troupe reacts.
BTW, thanks for finally posting! I've been waiting for more!
I also wonder, are we going to see these people who have had encounters with Feints? Where do they come from? What's their purpose?

For Tuinor's eyes only:
Where the hell a I!

Love the post about the Feints. I have a feeling that
Aevor has had an experance with a Feint. And I'm sure it wasn't very pleasent

Hey no problem. I understand about being busy with college. Although I haven't been.

I couldn't agree with you more.

FUNNY DWARF MAKE NAUTIPUS GIGGLE!

I thought it was really neat how you described the dwarf. And also about you-know-who. It really made my day to see how angry he was.
Funny, funny post!

Aevor's my favorite as well. It's the mysterious aura he gives off. It makes him interesting to read/write about.

As to taking forever to post, well, pledging has been a pain all last week. This week, though I should have more time.
