It needs a lot of work doing to it still, so readthroughs aren't necessary yet. Thanks for the offer though.
It's set in an alternate 19th century America where gunpowder doesn't exist. Follows a British officer attempting to stay alive after getting caught up in matters way above his head.
Like it. I write short stories...hope to get some published when the time is right. |

Going to watch Courteeners in Oxford last night, loads of lads there, inbetween every song you could hear them singing 'Yellows, Yellows!' and 'We all hate Swindon..' So I took it upon myself to finish my pint a bit quick, piss in the cup and chuck it all over them when Not Nineteen Forever came on. Stay classy.
Said Oxford lads...

Gale. None of us left in the village now, bar one cousin. All grandparents, aunts and uncles have passed on.

wow sounds really good, keep going wit it, how far through are you, it might be worth you sticking the first few chapters on authonomy.com to get some comments, as if people make some suggestions it is easier to take this into account earlier rather than later good luck though |

Seeing the big Oxford following at Torquay About 400 there, not bad considering we've played them about 37 times in the past decade. |

Like it.
I write short stories...hope to get some published when the time is right.
The kernel of the idea for mine actually started as a short story I did at school for English. Kind of evolved from there. I did the majority of it instead of going to the pub on Friday nights actually (because I was off booze at the time). Thanks again for the pointers red sheldon, that site's pretty good. The way it's shaping up though, it's going to be hugely long. I've barely started and I'm on 40k words. I think I'm going to write the whole thing out, as it pops into the old brain casing, then split it off as needs be. It's upsetting when you realise you'll probably end up writing more than two books... |
