I've only read a few chapters, will finish the rest soon, so far its been an interesting and intriguing read. When I do I may be able to offer some constructive criticism that doesn't descend into sycophantism (which I'm not even sure is a word).

I've managed a fair critique of the opening chapters myself, as you read on, you might find (as I do) that the writing style is far superior.

But any criticism is welcome.

It's not outright criticism, rather just thoughts, but I don't want to tell you how to write it, and anyway I'd rather wait until its finished.

You won't be offering me any criticism for quite some time then.

I think I'm maybe a fifth or less of the way to where I want to take the story, and that's assuming it doesn't evolve any further than it has already.

If you want to send me comments, rather than post them up here, feel free to mail me on [email protected] or catch me on MSN in the evenings on [email protected].

Guess I'll have to revert to posting semi-naked pictures of myself wearing Star Wars masks.

Promoting your own writing is almost as tasteless as naked star wars pics dude.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
