dkstories Posted March 25, 2004 Author Posted March 25, 2004 Thanks Tyrel, BM and those who have sent me e-mails so far. I like hearing feedback and a couple of them have led me to make what our some improvements in some future chapters. Expect to see chapter 9 posted within the next day or so, and Chapter 10 not long after that. I've finished writing the two hardest chapters of the story so far, Chapters 29 and 30. I'm going to concentrate on getting some more chapters ready for posting the next day or so (a lot of editing and formatting to be done after writing). The story really picks up in pace and adrenaline from here on out, so I hope y'all enjoy that. One of the things that I hope people will like is that you get to see the characters change, and you get to see Dylan change a lot as the story progresses. More importantly, you also see why and how he changes, what comes from the outside and what from the inside. That's probably why 29 and 30 were so tough to write (and I've already pretty much told you WHERE they take place). No, I'm not being a tease by mentioning chapters that won't be out for a while yet. They have to be edited a few times, as do most of the chapters I've written them. I type them all out, and then go back and edit them for posting. One of the reasons they're not all coming out in a bunch is that when the writing bug hits me, I just write, I don't edit. In between the bouts of writing furiously, I go back and edit things, tightening them up a bit, sharpening dialogue or fleshing out descriptions, and making sure things stay somewhat consistent. I've actually done a few re-writes because something wasn't clear enough, or didn't fit with something that I liked in a later chapter. I'm hoping that this makes the story better over all, and more enjoyable for the readers. It's certainly a lot more work than I've ever put into a story before (and I think that I might try to get published if this works as well as I'm hoping). Oh well, Enjoy!
dkstories Posted March 26, 2004 Author Posted March 26, 2004 Chapters 9 & 10 are now posted. Enjoy and tell me what you think!
BillM Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Oh and on a sidenote, I finally got around to reading your story Harry Potter and the Sword of Gryffindor and I loved it!
Tyrel Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 where might I find that story? I'm always on the hunt for a good HP story
dkstories Posted March 26, 2004 Author Posted March 26, 2004 The HP stories are still on fanfiction.net. Here's my profile: http://www.fanfiction.net/profile.php?userid=500051 I'm going to be bringing them over here eventually, and continuing the two stories currently in progress are secondary to continuing Dawn of Tears, but I'm still working on them. I worked out a lot of writing details in those stories that have been a big boost to me in writing Dawn of Tears.
BillM Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Harry Potter Slytherin Style; Wow! What a great idea! And the other stories are good too
dkstories Posted March 28, 2004 Author Posted March 28, 2004 Wow, Myr, great graphic, man! Very nicely done. I love it. Oh, and thanks for getting Chapters 11 & 12 posted as well.
dkstories Posted March 29, 2004 Author Posted March 29, 2004 We'll see if you still say that after chapters 13 & 14, BM, but thanks! 13 should be out soon, and 14 not too long after that.
Reader Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I love it when you writers keep me guessing a lot of stories I see what is coming next but you got me Oh got all chapters read time for more.........PLEASE
dkstories Posted March 30, 2004 Author Posted March 30, 2004 I'm working on 14 now...should be done editing tonight and off to Myr for posting (which means maybe tomorrow night if you're realy nice to the Myrster). Of course I'm also majory distracted by these cute Fox boys.
dkstories Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 Thanks for the compliments, guys! Chapter 15 is now up as well. The story pace is really picking up now...I just hope y'all continue to enjoy.
Reader Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 The main thing I like about this story is that sex is not overpowering a very good story A great read
dkstories Posted April 2, 2004 Author Posted April 2, 2004 Thanks Reader! As is becoming more and more obvious, sex is a part of the core of this story and I was very worried that it would become 'too strong' for the story as a whole. It is a part of the story, but no more important (or less) than the rest of the story. I hope I've been able to keep that balanced throughout the story.
Pyro Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 I've read 16 and I love it. Can't wait for 17. Thanks Pyro :-)
dkstories Posted April 5, 2004 Author Posted April 5, 2004 Your wish is granted! Thanks to Myr, Chapter 17 is up. Happy Reading
