[QUOTE="Cerulean_Wings, post: 3977342, member: 55060"] First of all, thank you both for responding to my comment. It shows that you want me to go on with the story, however that might be, and that you care :) BLACKDIRGE - I'm afraid I'm not good at creating a title to "snatch" people's attention and draw them in, since you've pointed out how cliche it sounds. I can try for another one, but really, I've got no point of reference from which to say "this is good" or "this won't work". I'll provide a link to The North's site, that way people can know about the setting without me writing 1,000 word essay. I'd love to write a story based on a known setting or adventure, but I'm afraid I don't have any, and I'm not willing to purchase one just to write a story about it. the Jester - It's hard to write up updates for the sake of it: a story hour that gets ignored is like a play that occurs with an empty threater, a movie played in an empty cinema, and so on. It's discouraging, since it doesn't seem like anyone's interested, and thus I lose faith in the story's quality. I'm not making this story hour to be "popular", but to see how far I can get in story writing. So far, it seems like I'm not getting very far, based on the amount of replies. I don't know what I was expecting when I started the story... one reply per update? Maybe one reply per two updates? But after Chapter 6, which took me 2 hours to write, with my crappy wrists and crappy eyesight to boot, and got nothing in terms of comments (positive or negative), I just said "screw it" and decided to move on with things. As of now, I'm not sure if I want to go on with this. It's too much effort for, what? My words echoing into the forum's void, nothing more. But hey, I'm pretty resilient, so I might pick it up after a couple of days. [/QUOTE]
