I've just got the first two chapters edited with a girl from fictionpress so there should (hopefully) be no grammar or spelling errors... what I really need help with is just story and continuity, characters - that sort of thing. I love this story and I want to make it good, but I'm so aware it's not perfect.
I would have just posted the first chapter, but it fell just short of 5000 words...
I would say this is almost a sci-fi story, or at least it does have sci-fi elements but mostly it's all character based and it'll lead on to a sort of investigation thing. I do have a general idea where I want this to go.
This is a short summary I wrote for FP anyway =]
So far, this story is centred on Lan, a man deep in debt and confusion, he has lost his wife and is living in a kind of dream world, hardly remembering who he is any more. He lives in the city, after a war that has affected him in a way he isn't sure about, trapped inside by a high wall. Then an old friend returns to him, the rebellious, mysterious and self-destructive Dreyan, who turns him upside down, forces him to remember who he is and join in a fight against what seems to him to be the rest of the sane world. Together, they try to discover the connection between two missing kids, a murder and a strangely closed off laboratory outside of the city.
I'd love some detailed responses to this! And PLEASE tell me something you'd like to to review in return because I want to pay anyone who reads all this back for being so nice ^__^
Anyway, I'll stop rambling now! Oh, there is some bad language and violence (or the aftermath of violence).
