Bishop186 So, I meant to go to bed a couple hours ago, but instead I copied your story to MSWord, edited and formatted it, and then read it again. It really is very nice. I can't wait for the rest of it. ^__^ By the by, did you know it's 35 pages when single-spaced (Except for the paragraphs -- I always double space between paragraphs -- makes it easier to read)? eek Yeah I figured it was around that much. I'm wondering what you mean by "edit" does that mean that you just fixed the spacing to your likeing, or did you do any othter editing? I'm shooting for alot more pages too actually, after finishing the next few sections, I plan actually go back over what I have and give it a second draft. There are a whole bunch of things that I want to fix, add, and get rid of, expand on, describe, and make sound better. and I know for a fact that there are alot of places where I need to do "a lot"/"allot" conversions, and there are only about five places where "Siani" is spelt correctly. After I get done, I'll post up Part 1: Draft 2. I'm shooting for doubling every section in size as well as doubling my page count. In the very least I'm going to go for a X1.5. 70 pages here we come!

There's only a few more sections to go before I take a break.
I decided I need time to make it better. I'm not saticfied with the writing, and I know I could make it better.
As well I need time to think of other charactors, and how they can make sense once in the story. the major problem here is that I sometimes forget about my own charactors I'll be writing and writing and I'll have to go back after saying "crap! I forgot to add that section about what happened to Antun!"
Which is the truth actually, as well I need to go back and make sure that Bishop and Shadow didn't die.
But any way this goes I hope I continue to please people, it hasn't been to bad so far has it? Except for my writing, I've devised a pretty bitchen' story here.
Any speculations as to who your charactor is going to be like, Sonzo? One of the problems I've been having with your charactor is that I know that "Sonzo" is a man's name from an anime, correct? So I can't very well call you "Sonzo" in the story if it's a man's name.

My character? wow hmm... well considering the kind of person I am she should probably be a very happy person very bouncy but I would like for her to be able to at least put up a decent fight as for name, well technically Sanzo is a title more than a name. From what I understood, a Sanzo is a high priest but yeah you probably couldn't use that... I guess Kit could work

MrJimmy Yeah I figured it was around that much. I'm wondering what you mean by "edit" does that mean that you just fixed the spacing to your likeing, or did you do any othter editing? I'm shooting for alot more pages too actually, after finishing the next few sections, I plan actually go back over what I have and give it a second draft. There are a whole bunch of things that I want to fix, add, and get rid of, expand on, describe, and make sound better. and I know for a fact that there are alot of places where I need to do "a lot"/"allot" conversions, and there are only about five places where "Siani" is spelt correctly. After I get done, I'll post up Part 1: Draft 2. I'm shooting for doubling every section in size as well as doubling my page count. In the very least I'm going to go for a X1.5. 70 pages here we come! By "Edit" I mean that I added a few obligatory "and"s, changes all your "it's" to "its," changed some commas to semicolons, spelled things correctly, changed up spacing a little bit to read a little better, and put double-spaces in the conversations/paragraphs to make it easier to read, because I'm nitpicky like that before I read things. xd Except for spelling in a few places and the semicolons-in-place-of-commas, I made sure and left speech completely intact without any of those "ands" because that's how the person speaks, and not the actual writing. If you want a copy to look over and perhaps work on your draft from I can send it to you. I saved it on my computer as "Jimmy's Story So Far" so I could go back and read it. sweatdrop There's probably a few problems still in there, I weeded most of them out with MSWord's spell/grammar check. I found a couple more when reading and changed them mid-read, but I'm sure I probably missed *some* (not saying your writing's all that terrible, just saying that I'm inobservant, even when being nit-picky lol ). In totally unrelated news: WHY AM I STILL AWAKE?!! gonk

I don't take it as an insult anymore, I've long sense realized that my ability to spell and catch my typos is clearly nonexistant.
And, yes, actually I would love a copy of it. Could you save it as a .rtf and send it to wiskersthcatfish@gmail.com for me? Maccie here don' like .doc.
Holy crap, that saves me a whole crap load of time. And I was hopeing to get another pair of eyes to comb out my grammer mistakes. Thanks. I'll even send you some gold and credit you on the front page for helping me out.
