Thanks to everyone that's been reading along so far, I hope you've all been enjoying it! Thanks to all of you that have commented and given me feedback (and pointed out my occasional grammar and spelling mistakes!).

This is a brief breather before the next arc starts up in a week, but if anyone does have any general comments they want to make, now's the time!

Some more specific questions:

- Are there any specific things you want to see more or less of? Different viewpoints, more switching up of PoVs, certain plots beats coming up too much/not enough?

- Any specific plot points that you want to see addressed? I do have an overal plot arc in mind, with actual development and an end-point, but the ending definitely won't be for a while! Also if there's anything you're confused or not sure about.

- How's the release schedule? I'm going to at least briefly experiement with some more short PoV chapters, so while I'm mostly going to be sticking to a twice-weekly release, there will be the occasional three-releases-in-a-week weeks.

- Any favourite (or least favourite!) characters or side characters? Anyone you want to see more or less of?

- Any bits of the plot, characters or imagry that particularly caught you, that you thought were neat? What sort of image do you have of the characters? (I had quite a cool conversation with one reader about the heights of the cast, which was fun)

- Any parts that you enjoyed, or you thought dragged?

For future developments, the next arc (Ashfall Keep) involves journying to find an Elven ruin and plunder that, and the general mishaps that happen along the way. I'm also going to try and re-edit the first arc (Dragon's Veil) to tighten the writing and characterisation, and do some general tidying and editing of the other arcs. I don't think I've contradicted myself yet, but there's some bits of characterisation and personality that could be tightened up.

Other possible flashback / history arcs:

- How the group first met and formed and how that was a horrible, hilarious shitshow of a job

- Background information on Semari and Parth (I'm surprised 'Semari and the Devil-Goats' didn't win the poll, but such is life!)

- How Janaxia actually got her book and what happened with Anef and Asai and their arms

- Stathis' background and general thing (although she has a background arc starting next week, which does shed some light on that, sort of)

- The gap between 'Dragon's Veil' and 'A Simple Job' where Carissia and Janaxia got to know each other rather more intimately (I did start writing this and it got, uh, a little steamy, so not entirely sure to publish it or not...)

- Some stories about the earlier generations - Kinnevar, Stathis' mother, Parth's family etc,

- Anything else you lot want to see?

I'll also be attempting NaNoWriMo (Goldthirst releases shouldn't be affected) and will shortly be putting out a number of chapter 1's and summaries, followed by a poll for which is most popular to then go on and write, so please go read those when they come out and let me know which you think is best ^_^

Thanks,

Mejiro
