Tales from the Land of Mists (Comments)

Post by Guardian of Twilight »

Ok. Following the Lady Llana's lead, I have decided to place a comments section seperate from the story itself. I hope that you will all leave your thoughts here, but most importanty, that you all have a good time and enjoy the story.

Now I turn this thread over to you, the readers...

An intriguing beginning, and as Joel said, a very good description of a ghast. :)

Thank you kindly, ma'am. I have just entered my latest addition and will probably not be able to add more (but I'll definitely try to) over the course of this week. I am heading out of town to help a friend restore an old mansion. (Can you believe it?) So when I get back to the story, I should really be in the zone. See you all soon! :)

Thanks, I really appreciate the kind words. :D

I also hope to have the next part up soon for everyone. Just a matter of finding the spare time to finish working on it. *sigh*

Thank you for the kind words, my friend. My biggest passion is writing, and I hope to actually write for Wizards one day. Man, wouldn't that be a career... getting paid to write novels for your favorite game! :D

Okay.. ISSUE
I have a story I'd like to post. The trouble is it crosses over into adult/erotic fiction. :shock: It's not comedicly over the top or anything but if I try to cut the sensuality and sexual implications out, it loses half its impact. There's no foul language or anything. I've read victorian novels for the express purpose of avoiding such words. I began it as a tragic romance and it just turned into what it turned into. I'm asking here if I can post this or if it would be edited for content. :?
Do us a favor Luv, Stick yer 'ead in a bucket a kick it!

So, gentlemen, that's how it is. Until Grissome.... resurfaces, I'm the acting president, and I say starting with this... anniversary festival, we run this city into the ground! :D

Hmm... my best advice would be for you to send it to one of the moderators and let them proofread and advise you on the course of action to take with it. But, for a rule of thumb...

I hope that helps you out, my friend, but I wish I could give you better advice.

No such thing has occured, I assure you. The first priority should always be to assist other writers in their literary endeavours and offering advice and guidance. :)

No need, I trust your call. Play it victorian way, or to sleep with evil way, and it will be OK. Less said is often better! ;)

Was... that directed at me? If so, then thank you very much, sir. That has to be one of the best compliments that I have ever recieved and I am truly honored.

If not, and I misread something, then...

My, it's been some time since last I posted here. I wanted to let all of you see that I hadn't given up on my tale, and also let everyone know that what I have just posted I am mostly satisfied with, and yet a few changes may take place in its contents in the future. I didn't post everything new that I have, seeing as how a good deal of it is still being revised. And yet, I hope that you all enjoy reading what I have just posted. Especially you, Rotipher. Your opinions and thoughts would truly mean a lot. :)
