 asa47 2006-11-09 . chapter 5 As always, great storyline, imagery, and figurative language. In addition, I noticed that you separated the "mini-stories" with a number~Very good! It's easier to follow along that way :D Other than that, look over your punctuation. For example, when you're going to list things, use a colon (:) rather than a semicolon (;). Only use a semicolon in place of the word "and." In addition, make sure to put end quotes when someone is finished speaking, to avoid confusion. Finally, here are some ways you can make your story flow better:
1.)"Only mass migration means one thing"-->Change to "Mass migration means only one thing".
2.)"...knowing that something must have terribly happened already"-->Change to "...knowing that something terrible must have happened".
3.)"...and yet she never put too much weight on her"-->What do you mean by this? Try rewording it to make it a little clearer.
4.)"Amrielle grew a concerned look on her face"-->Change to "Amrielle had a look of concern on her face".
5.)Why would Andras be grasping his nose when he fell on his butt? I don't quite understand that ^^;
6.)"...since he had no military experience once so ever"-->Change to "...since he had no military experience whatsoever".
Otherwise, keep up the terrific work =) I look forward to reading Part VI ^_- |
 asa47 2006-08-21 . chapter 4 >Hey, this story keeps getting better and better :D Well, the only thing I saw that you could add is the same as last time:
"...I’m guessing that since Eretria sensed this, this ‘disturbance’ is indeed a growing problem. Whatever is coming here probably indeed is an army.”
*
The dark dragons watched high from the Ouranos Mountains, towering over Rayse as if it were an ant colony.
>The * will signal a change in the point of view from that of the main characters to that of the dragons (to avoid confusion) ;) Other than that, your story is great :) |
 asa47 2006-08-13 . chapter 3 Hm...Very interesting :D I do have one comment to make, though, as to how to improve how your paragraphs appear. When you switch from the new characters' perspective to the old characters' perspective, you should make it clear that they aren't together in the same area, so as to avoid confusion; in this case, you can skip a line, use *, and skip another line. Here's an example:
Casera watched as Eretria said that, and he shivered uncontrollably at the thought of Eretria gaining power.
*
"So this is Kosmos," Apollion wondered. The city's massive spires towered several stories above the clear sky...(and so on)
Other than that, your story looks good so far ;) |
 asa47 2006-08-03 . chapter 2 Wow, this story keeps getting better and better :D Keep up the great work! I can't wait to read the rest ^^ |
 asa47 2006-07-27 . chapter 1 A great story so far...I love the introduction, the characters, and the imagery present throughout this piece. Keep up the great work, for I want to read on to see what happens next ^^
PS Keep your eye on grammatical errors when using "to" and "too"; "too" can be used to say "also," "as well," "in addition," and so on ;)
Example:
Incorrect~I want to go there to.Correct~I want to go there too. |
