Well, work is boring me out of my skull. As I may or may not have said in an earlier post, they've finally had the windows in the study center tinted, so I can actually open the blinds now (only half way). Unfortunately, the tint is so dark that is always looks like it's overcasted and grey. I think I'm going to end up getting seasonal affective

How many reviews are these "way more than you thought"? (no, not a pissing contest, I'm curious!)

And any kind counts ;)

I don't know the book of which you speak, but I find that a lot of the books I've been reading in later years either lack in research or grammar or, well, plot. I may be overly critical and/or jaded, though. XD

I think I've had a total of about 16 reviews. I was expecting maybe two or three. I mean, I'm a complete newbie (I've only written a handful of Inuyasha drabbles before this).

I don't think you're jaded, or overly critical. Yes, there is suspension of disbelief, but that doesn't mean that the author doesn't have to do any work at all. Unless the author cares only about selling books and earning royalties, then they should either stick to writing about what they know, or do all that they can to build the most realistic world possible.

16 is very good! Especially for a first chapter, people are always a bit wary about where you're going with the first chapter. Takes a bit to get the ball rolling most days. So consider yourself a success. ;)

I should think a book sells more if the author puts some work into it? Oh, wait, Harry Potter... >_>

*cough*

Yay! I'm not pathetic! *does happy dance*

Shh! I'm telling you, you keep going around saying things like that, and you'll never roll with the cool kids. Even if you're right.

XD I thought we established that I'll never be cool ;)

*rolls eyes* Well, obviously...But you can't blame a girl for trying. *smirks*
