The Rape of Morne - Part 2 (Updated 2/26)
- Thread starter Sepulchrave II
- Start date
It is so nice to see those words "edit for publishing".
Tolkein worked for years and years on the Lord of the Rings books, and after all was said and done, he had but one major problem with his work: He thought it was too short.
You have an incredible story in Wyre, and it would be sad to see any of the detail you have laid out for us (for free!) to be lost by the wayside in publishing. As someone who has experienced the vicissitudes of publishing, I wish you the very best of luck, and this piece of advice: Illegetemis non corborundum, Don't let the bastards get you down!

Jim,
I just want to echo some of what has already been posted here.
This is the best story on these boards, and a master work in its own right.
The last two updates were the best posts I've ever read on this or any other message board.
This story is greatness, and, as one writer to another, though you may be your own worst critic, I encourage you to attend faithfully to the editing and compilation of this work.
I also want to say that when it hits the shelves I'll be there to buy it. In hardcover. And I'll look for you on the book tour and request an autograph and then I'll say "Thanks. Thanks for your time and effort and one hell of a story."
My regret is that I do not have sufficient words to praise this story to the extent it deserves.
Many thanks,
Warrior Poet

Darn it...i was hoping that it was just speculation that this was the end. Well so be it......I've said my praises before, but I'll say them again. 
I also wanted to let you know that I've been passing around your story (in a word compilation i made) to some non-gamer friends of mine, and though some of them consider D&D a bit "of a waste of time" or a "not their style" sort of thing, they really enjoyed your story, and got past some of inside references thanks to your great writing.
One of them has even "gone geek" and has joined my gaming group pretty much because of your story. He's expecting a lot based on your god-like example...let's just hope I can deliver.
Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know that your story can transcend the game (which I'm sure you knew anyway
), and I think you'll get a great response from it.
I'll see you in your new thread,
C.I.D.

Sep,
I'm a bit of a lurker on this Story Hour, but now seemed a good time to let you know how brilliant it is and how much I appreciate your work.

Sepulchrave,
First, well done. I have enjoyed the story of Eadric and his friends immensely. This is a truly an epic tale, in every sense of the word.
As I writer, I tend to be my own worst critic. I would advise you to ask a friend to look over your work. This has helped me in several ways. First, a good friend can spot flaws that you have missed. Also, it helps to have someone check for spelling errors. (I have caught humorous typos in novels.)
Also, a few of my friends have helped me gain greater insights into my characters and their world. Good luck, and thanks for all the hard work.
