I was an aristocrat! I had wealth, status, social graces - my scandals made up the gossip of many a curious townsperson - and just look at me NOW! Forced to live in the very dregs of this society that ate me up and spat me out - nay, my friend, I envy you!

And there's your story!

See, from some friends you just get the "I've read it and it's fine." Done.

But with others, I get red marks on the page showing where I've gone wrong. In some cases, a lot of red. And it's nice to have friends who'll take the time to do that, really :)

It's just about asking the right friends, I think...

Is it just me that finds it worrying you're happy about being called those things?

Also its funny firstChristmaSnow, you said that you were almost scared to submit with a big name person here and then you said you were joking. I am scared to submit and I won't even lie to myself about it. Thats not to say that I wont its just showing the lack of confidence I have in my abilities.

Me too.... It's a big thing submitting to people you don't know really... I've not let anyone really see my writing unless I've known them for a while. Forum RP posts are different to actual pieces you've written on your own. But yeah, it's a scary thing.

Welcome Jason and Chris  ;D

Word fumbling usually means tired in Raethe-land...... Oh, and she likes burning things.

I like the as much as you can as soon as you can.... and I think I read someone say you have a week in a month, and write against that date when you want to submit? So long as it's at least once a month? That's a good idea too o.o

I'm..... a little concerned about bi-weekly...

As you said above, there are full-timers who may struggle. I'm at uni full time, and have a part time job... so makes things a little... busy?

Although I like the idea of splitting into 3 groups... is that going to be even more difficult to organise and figure out who's meant to be submitting when?

Like you say, there is the benefit of writing more often to meet deadlines, but is it oing to be too much... I don't want to say pressure.... but... erm, I don't know how to word it really.

If I can re-write this a little more co-herantly in the morning, I will do. But hoping you get the gist?

Another one I like.

Reading it, I felt like I could relate to the realism of college, classroom debates etc, but also there's the tied in unfamiliarity of the science/technology areas.

....if that makes sense?

But it reads well, apart from the "I never thought I'd hear you say thought", but that's cleared up now from the above posts.

The prologue was good, too. Nice introduction.

I'm looking forward to reading more :)

I really liked it!

Love the character of Edwyn already, and how the way he seems to remain really calm in the first instance. It looks like it irriates Rogers a lot more. In a way, Edwyn reminds me a lot of Gandalf from LOTR... could just hear his voice as I was reading for some reason.

Interested in knowing what's written in the letter that took so much work to get out of that room.

Also liked the idea of the pen running out of ink on page 5. Leaves the reader wondering if he'll be able to get out of the situation after he can't use his magic any more.

All in all, looking forward to the next part :)

I shook my head twice. No, cold feet wasn't an option. Not right now. Okay, it had been quick, but spontanious actions had rarely let me down in the past. This decision would join the successful ones.

Adjusting the veil in front of my face, I picked the two bouquets of flowers up from the table, Raethe's holding large daisies mixed with little forget-me-nots, and my own were blue flowers mixed with little white buds. They looked nice... but maybe they wouldn't go down well? What if they were the wrong type? Or the wrong..... it was far too late to be thinking over those kinds of things now. Raethe was right. It really was time to get going. People were probably wondering where she was.

Wriggling my toes a little, trying to warm them, I handed Raethe her bouquet and walked out of the door, towards the main room where the ceremony was to be held. But until the choir started, I was not to enter the room. Everything had to be done just right.

"You know... after this... I really think you need to work on multi-tasking. And I don't mean chewing gum and walking in flats.... how about... walking in heels whilst reading a newspaper?" Now I was babbling, and I knew it. Damn nerves...
