Hey Jonesy, mind if I reference this for a paper I have in Gender Race and Crime? It fits what I need almost to a tee.

I'd be honored, but I'd also advise caution. In my academic experience, references for assignments and such really ought to come from professional sources, namely other studies, papers or relevant information sources. Using a piece of fiction would best be used as an example you'd then apply your other findings (gathered from other sources) to.

This is for, and I quote, a "reaction paper". I am to read/watch/listen to/attend something that relates to class, and write about it. H&L has racism, unfair justice, race-related riots and strike, uneven pay.. As far as the teacher is concerned, and I asked, this would be great.

Many thanks for your blessing.

Ah, OK then. Sounds fine. In fact, would you mind PMing me the paper when it's done? I'd love to see it.

Daaaaaaang...

So, there I was with a few hours to kill, (aka I was a quarter the way through the work day...) and I figured I'd gamble a read in here to pass some time. To say that I was pleasantly surprised would be a vast understatement.

I'll be honest in that I wasn't super impressed to start out when you were throwing out phrases like "little did she know..." and having those minor grammatical errors, but after just a bit more, I found myself dreading having to hit the next page button knowing that every time it took me closer to the end of the most recent update.

Perhaps one of my happiest takeaways from this is that you've avoided throwing in any useless love triangles to boot, (though you had me worried there a few times...) thank you so much for that!

So here I sit 3 hours from shift change and a month from the next update, eagerly awaiting both!

Sorry for any text weirdness, I'm typing this from a phone, will fix anything when I get home.

I'm glad you're enjoying it. Even I admit that my writing has come a long way from those flowery early chapters, as you can probably tell since I've done a MSTing of the first one. Once I'm finished the story, I'm thinking of going back to do some moderate re-writing to bring those early parts back to my current standards.

And despite all the possible ships I could do, I think the protagonists have enough to deal with without having to compete for affection. It'd be horribly cliched as well. Although, I know at least a couple of readers who'd like to see Isaakai become a thing...

Gah! Curse you for making me think there was an update sooner than there was one! -Obligatory-

Isaakai, eh? Doesn't Rakai have enough to deal with just talking to Nituna? :P

Eh, I'll leave Issakai in the hands of fanfic writers. :P Like I said earlier, I'm more in to Rakai and Nituna. I hope to see them work things out. Also, I wonder if Iduel will find someone.

Yeah, Isaakai isn't going canon. As for Iduel, considering all he's been through and the state he's in, finding someone is probably pretty low on his list of priorities.

You'll have to make a fanfiction to correct that mistake, won't you?

Also, I just realized that Jakob x Rakai would have the same name as a race from Slightly Damned; Jakai. Or at least, with a 'k' missing. Close enough.

Next chapter isn't too far away, and is being proof-read. In the meantime, I've done up an entry in the November Writing Contest.

With your editorial process, do you use another person as an editor and if so is it purely proof reading or are creative changes made by the editor? Just a question of comperison to editing ive had done in the past.
The first shot is not the one that matters. The last shot determines everything.
