Thanks for letting me know — I’ve noticed a lot of people don’t make it to part 8.  This is probably one of the reasons.  That said, I lose a lot of people in part 8, when the fantasy kicks in, so I’m not sure changing anything here will really matter.

In any event, Winter Rain is sort of my answer to web comics.  My policy is I don’t go back and rewrite once something is posted — it’s more important for me to get the next episode written.  Some people really like the story, others just don’t.  I’m okay with both — for me, it is what it is.  When it’s done, I’ll see if it might be worth making it into something more.

Again, thanks for commenting.  I appreciate it.  :-)

Chris.

I don’t know anything about any of these characters – what they look like, where they come from -  and consequently I don’t give a damn about what happens to any of them. They are just words on paper.

And I’m not just being easy to please.

I read tons of webnovels (as you know) and I’m finding this genuinely interesting.

On a technical note, I’m writing in Pages, and it is using smart quotes, which then get cut/pasted into WordPress.  Shows up fine on my Mac, but please do let me know if there are mangled characters showing up in your browser.  Thanks.
