Tears of Fantasy - Online Fantasy Book

It seems already a lot, and it feels long that the story is just starting. also I write it in my free time, and given my lazyness, it's not updated really often.

For people that still feel interested, I will write a tiny explanation, in the style they use in the back of the books:

In our own world, in the a really near future, some people start to disappear. No one knows the reason, nor they have any clues. One those people is a boy called Leonard, that gets taken by a blue spirit to a world were magic is a common thing. But that world hides more than it shows, and no one really knows what the destiny has prepared for that boy.

If it still sounds interesting, you can read it in here.

(The link is also in my sig... and has been there for a while.)

It has been some months since the last one but, finally, I have managed to get myself to write a new chapter!

Bookmarked!

It's always a pleasure to read fantasy stories, especially up and coming ones. It'll take awhile with my current schedule though .

If anyone is reading it, I finished Chapter 15. It's short, just a character introduction, but it's there.

Sounds cool, but I need some readers' comments to start reading it.

Just what I needed.

I just want to add that there are minor spelling and grammatical errors in almost every chapter... after just a quick look at the beginning of each one. I guess it's because you're typing too fast? Or maybe it's because English is not your first language? Well, it's still pretty interesting, anyhow. The story itself has a good base.

[GiGaHeRz]

I'm Spanish, and also Catalan (one of the regions in spain), so basically I have 2 main languages, and English is the third one. I also try to type the chapters as the story pops up in my head... kind of like if I was scared it might go away if I type too slowly (inspiration is volatile!). :P

I do realize there have to be many grammatical errors, just no one has pointed them to me yet.

Anyhow, its nice you are liking it. The more ppl who likes it, the more I like writing it, too!

Later, ppl, gotta leave to work.

[GiGaHeRz]

Okay ppl, I finished chapter 16.

[runawayprisoner]

Just a suggestion. But maybe you can ask someone who is fluent in English, and whose mind is also captivated by the core of your story to go back, read every sentence, and fix it for you. Kind of like an editor, you know.

[GiGaHeRz]

I don't think I'd feel like writing anymore after someone had gone through the story changing everything that wasn't right... :P If ppl told me about the errors, flaws, or any contradiction in the story (that's the main reason I created the google group!) then I would gladly fix them.

As a side note, I plan to go through the old pages myself, fixing a lot of things... someday.

[runawayprisoner]

That would work, too... although it would mean that you'll have to take a whole week off work... sleep... eat... and everything else to fix it.

[GiGaHeRz]

...
The book isn't that long yet... even if it did have so many errors I would have to write the whole book again, it would only take me a few hours. And it's definately not so wrong.... I think.

[parman_donk]

Nice story, I wonder how many chapter it will be...

[GiGaHeRz]

To be honest, I don't know that myself. Basically I 'improvise' the chapters. I know it would be better if I had at least some base plot designed, so I could follow it when writing, but I feel that if I try to do it that way, I would be limiting myself. Also, I don't like to know the 'ending' in advance, not even in my own stories... it wouldn't be fun if I spoiled myself!

In any case, you should have noticed that the chapters are short, so based on that chapter length the story could go on for even more than a hundred chapters, if it goes well. I don't know how much will I be able to write before getting tired of it, or until the plot starts to get bad from all the previous flaws. It's really hard to make a proper plot without even knowing what's gonna happen! ... but that's also what makes it fun to write (when I manage to get an idea for it)... it's like if I lived the story myself as I write.

So I don't know... the story should be long, but how much I will actually do, I can't tell.

For anyone interested, chapter 17 is up.

[GiGaHeRz]

Chapter 18 is up (after 2 months). Links in my sig and in the first post.

[Lord Budweiser]

Do this book have a chapter on rat dongs?

[GiGaHeRz]

No it doesn't, but if you like them so much... then I guess you can get a rat and... do things with it.

[GiGaHeRz]

This kind of deserves a bump...

[GiGaHeRz]

Chapter 12 is up. If anyone still cares
