[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7161669, member: 6804070"] Couple of quick thoughts (these are critical, but should not be considered discouraging); - It sounds like you have only written chapter 1 of the book, therefore it seems unlikely that the story as a whole will be well edited (i.e. edited with the whole content and story in mind, rather than just edited one paragraph at a time). - If you had the whole book done, then you could just give a high quality preview of the first chapter without having a separate product. - I personally would not buy chapter 2 if I did not know if the whole book was going to be written. Actually, knowing I read faster than you write, I wouldn't start reading until I knew you had the whole thing done. And as you don't have an apparent record of doing this, then I would be skeptical that you would complete the project. - Stating you don't have an artist, editor, or formatter indicates that you don't have faith in your own abilities (maybe rightly so) and that the reader should expect no art (that ok) and poor grammar and editing (not ok). - Where is this story set? It doesn't seem to be in the Forgotten Realms or even D&D so I'm a little confused as to why it's up on the DMsGuild. All that said, those are thoughts and ideas based upon traditional distribution of stories, and today may no longer be relevant. Hope that help, keep writing. [/QUOTE]
