Here it is: AMY!

You should be able to view/comment, not sure if that works well or not for giving your edits and positive criticism.

Note: Story is still a work in progress and what is seen here is not the final product. All the work is copyright of me, and if you use something from here without giving me credit, I will possible feel violated.

Also, you may be wondering what this story is about, so here is an introductory page so you understand what the premise is:

Awesome, Fura! I'll totally read this later this week :v

@Forrest Looking forward to that too. For some reason I just find your writing style very appealing.
AND OH MY GOD I NEVER SAW THIS. WHAT. REALLY. AWESOME.
I promise I will actually write something. Maybe after March.

Hm, I've got an odd idea.
Would anybody be interested in a shared world thread?
Like essentially we collectively decide on setting(IE Fantasy, Futuristic, apocalypse, to name a few), get down a rough time line (well maybe), figure out the major details, and then we all write stuff in that world. I'm probably not thinking about something, but I think this gets the general idea across, and I think it'd be interesting to see how several different people tackle the same setting in the same world.

I'd be down.
Gone. Cheers guys.

So...any critiques? I think I've written a good enough volume of new stuff for people to have some kind of critique on my writing.
Really just looking for input or suggestions on how to write better.

Overall Vulnus I like your writings. A couple things though.
One:There are very slight grammatical errors such as miss spelling unconscious.
Two: Im not really sure where your stories are going, they seem to have little in common with eachother.
Three: The last piece you wrote felt very cliche. Not necessarily a terrible thing but I didnt understand why someone would hide an operation only to bring up no resistance whatsoever and actually off themselves...just seemed a bit pointless.

Anyhow over all it is alright tho.

Thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated. I'll admit I screw up spelling far more often then I'd like.

going to address number two though
The only consistent story I've been writing is the Syndicate, which I keep in that thread of mine like the rest of my writing. I just decided to keep a single thread rather then clog this section with a whole lot of threads for stories I'd probably only write on piece for. However when I'm not writing a Syndicate piece I'll put it in the post that it's not the Syndicate.

1. I really hope we get a chapter fleshing out all the characters a bit more, they have names and faces but they feel like the serve a purpose to the story. (but don't take that from me, I spend more my time making "set-dressing" then actual characters)

2. I like the atmosphere of the fortress, don't be afraid to take a moment to describe the scene. (again I like to make set dressing) Example: The medicinal bay stunk of blood and decay, not really a shock since that stone-faced "Head of Medicine" was not really keen on 'bedside manner'. If it worked, he'd do it, no matter how messy or painful. That shocking reminder of which echoed out from the doors and from behind privacy curtains, as his patients wailed in pain or whimpered hoping that their 'doctor' would fix them so they could leave this wretched place. What didn't help was how bright it was here, it felt like the sun was constantly shining in this sterile place, but without the warmth. [Pretty much described the place as a hospital, run by a guy without any emotions, and that it was brightly lit but cold]

3. This is more a personal thing and I know I'm guilty of this, but try and make the posts longer. You probably have a very busy life, but don't be afraid to postpone a few chapters until you got a meaty chunk to post. If you just give regular updates of where you are on the current chapter then it'd be just fine... but that may just be me being greedy.

1. Sure, I'll throw in some physical descriptions and some more backhround next chapter.
2. I love this suggestion. I will try to make setting more descriptive.
3. I suppose I could try longer posts.
