Publishing it, come what may

There's not much to say, honestly, I am.. putting my story out there, and forcing myself to write it out. Let's see where it goes.

If you want to draw, or compose something for it, go for it, I've decided to write it all out, no matter what.

Congratulations, Drac! I'll take a look and let you know what I think!

Hey Drac, I have read the first three chapters, and I have a pretty good first impression of your novel!

You can definitely write, so don't let anyone tell you that you can't or aren't good, because you are. I don't normally read this genre of fiction, but I found myself very interested in what was going on and learning more about Lan and Saya.

Your characters, Lan and Saya, seem to be developed pretty well already in just the first three chapters. I do think you would benefit from an editor to make the formatting and punctuation more consistent, but that's just a small suggestion.

I'll comment again after I've read the remaining chapters. Thank you for introducing me to this interesting story!

A lot of my problem comes with keeping tenses in check. Past, present, did, is doing. I'm not entirely comfortable with the tapas editor yet (it does italicizing strange sometimes if a period is involved..( plus I don't trust my computer in a storm so I'm writing in another program and pasting it.

And that's after backing it up 3 times.

But I do have a few subscribers! And a few likes, and that's really encouraging. There are parallels to another story I want to try and stay away from, and hopefully as the chapters move on from the introduction stage and into what's actually happening.

Thank you for the input, and if anyone else has questions or comments, let me know.
