Welcome to Gaia! ::


Oh, that's okay! I've been working so much this week, it's a miracle I actually finished chapter 8 before this week was over! I totally wrote myself into a corner, and I just couldn't get past this one scene, but now that I set everything up, chapter 9 is going to come super quickly.

I'M AWESOME.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Ha ha, I'm so lazy! I mean, I haven't written anything at all!
LOLOLOL *I* haven't written anything at all! Nebs was totally telling me to get my a** in gear about chapter 8, but I had written myself so badly in a corner that it took almost a week to get out of it. Here's to hoping for a fast chapter 9 turn out!

And yeah, don't worry about the review, take your time. Like I said, I've had barely any time to do ANYTHING. XD
I need some Mountain Dew for this, man. It took me about a month for each new chapter, you know. I did manage to get through it, but jeez. 8U You're like, uber fast compared to me.

I miss you on mah long thread. emo We just keep posting... I wish we had a 5 man band. That'd be fun. 8U A five (wo)man band of writers! 8D
Hahaha! AW. Maybe this weekend I'll pick up the posting slack and start bumping like crazy on everything. I need to pay attention to effing Opus Dei! Maybe I'll post another one shot on there before I revise the first chapter~
Yay! =3 I do need to get started on all this... Eeeee.

I just read chapter eight. I could see you were having some trouble with it. It was kinda awkard in the first part. I noticed several mistakes, not grammer, I'm not good with that, just little things. When they were in they were walking and Elle jumped in front of him stopping him in his tracks and then you put another sentnce saying that chousa stopped. That's redundant you don't need that. we already knew he stopped. Then when Elle couldn't find chousa at the marketplace, how could she follow in his tracks? Then when the guy was following her you called him Orion and then Orion suddendly appeared infront of her. It was really confusing and needs to be cleared up. Why wasn't Elle afraid of the woman and why didn't Chousa try to protect her? When the woman appeared why did they both stop fighting at the same time? Wouldn't they just keep fighting so noone got the upper hand? The best place to protect someone is have them behind you in a corner. Why would Chousa jump one guy and leave Elle to fend for herself with no weapon agaist two other people? Would he jump out next to her and try and keep her alive? Then When they were in the house she was modest not wanting anyone to see her. Why would she just tell someone to come in when she wasn't wearing clothes?

That's all I can remember seeing and thinking. Otherwise it was a good chapter.

Yeah, I changed it several times, and I tried to make it all cohesive. This is a first draft for a reason!

Chousa was walking in a straight line - I figured that Elle would follow his track pattern?

I looked that entire scene over and I couldn't see what exactly was confusing - the brunette, Dietrich, was the one chasing Elle because he recognized her from the night in Rythias when Retica was murdered. Sorry for any confusion! I do refer to Dietrich several times as "the brunette", only because his name had yet to be revealed. If there is something in particular that I might have missed, please do point it out! I'm looking over this and I'm just now noticing the grammar mistakes. Always a good idea to have someone read it over before you post it anywhere, haha.

1. The woman said "I can't let you do that" which the reader could hopefully infer would stop the arbiters from harming Elle.

2. Chousa was busy pwning Dietrich, which leaves him a little tied up - he can't exactly do everything at the same time, haha. You could infer any of the following: Chousa saw Dietrich running after Elle, but didn't see the other two blocking her path, OR, Chousa decided to take down Dietrich and go after Orion and Finneas aftewards.

3. You'll notice that Chousa isn't the best at configuring plans, which can lead you to infer that Chousa didn't see Orion or Finneas and was too focused on Dietrich. Had he seen the other two arbiters, he probably would've thought otherwise.

Elle is a very timid person, as you might have already guessed. But she did have a towel wrapped around her - you could probably infer that Elle didn't want to be rude by keeping the person outside the door waiting?

Glad you enjoyed it! <3

Have to bump this~

You know what, I wonder if I could just post my notes as I go. XD Would that be okay? You could reply to each one individually then! YAY?
GO FOR IT. : D
You sure it's not too spread out? Like, if you want to have it all together for reference? 8U
Nah, I'll remember it. <3

I'll run some paragraphs by you if I have any questions! XD
Okay! This'll make me get it done fo SHO!
My notes in red. =3
Oh, about the time difference--I would assume they would have something like a siesta, a nap time, in the middle of the day to offset how long they're awake. You DO start growing tired after a time, even if the day is long. =/
I started thinking about that, and then I figured that maybe the people of Eterra have just become accustomed/adjusted to it?
