I don't mind concrit; I'm enjoying the discussion, and I appreciate your feedback and question about where the story is going. I understand your points about the pace of the story, and that's something I'll keep in mind for my next story. That said, it's not going to be able to effect this one, since we're already about to the "meaty" stuff. (We are, actually, we just haven't posted that far.)
It sounds like, no matter what our response would have been, you'd already made your mind up about discontinuing the story. That's disappointing to us, of course, but not something we have much control over and also not something to dwell on or hold against you.
Neither of us will claim to be the best writers, and I'm sure our styles do have something to be desired, but I will say this. Rose and I have put our best effort into this story and had a lot of fun writing it so far, and we're looking forward to what is to come, regardless of how many readers stick with it. Of course, we're hoping most will, or we wouldn't even be posting it, but at the end of the day, we're going to keep writing the story we've envisioned, in a style that feels natural to us, and hope that we can keep a few people entertained along with us.
I'm sorry it didn't turn out to be your cup of tea, but thanks again for at least giving it a try. Your reviews meant a lot!
