All Comments on 'Storm World Ch. 07'

I'm really enjoying the reveal process that you have going on. You answer our questions and leave us with many more. I can't wait for the next chapter!

I appreciate the table of characters at the front of the story. I think they should stay. It is useful to be reminded who is who. Also like the units conversion at the back.

Your story is moving along nicely. I'm sure you would like to perfect it but it read well.

Thank you

Please o please dont stop writing this wonderul story.

I would read your stories if you wrote them with a crayon on one ply TP. I am in no rush, personally to see this story finished. Moved along sure. Maybe skip ahead some in story time. Cut away from the main characters and let us get to know the traitors, or any humans that may or may not be out to come to this planet? Just trying to give your creativity a kick start. * GRIN * In closing I Truly Enjoy this Story and I am Not a Cat Guy ..... Thank You

i hope you wont stop this story i love it i look forward to each chapter no matter how long it takes

Very nicely done.. keep it up

I really enjoy your stories. Take the time you need to finish.

I like and look forward to more.

And please, take as much time as you need between chapters.

I am following several stories that only release chapters every few weeks, some not for months.

It's worth the wait for a great read.

I love this story! It's ok if you take your time!

this story deserves to continue. Additionally there were no glaring errors that I noticed so a really good effort R.F, thank you, excellent entertainment. Looking forward to the next installment which I'll happily wait a couple of weeks for. :)

Just do what you have to, great read as always.

Please do not get discouraged at what you may think is slow progress.

Yes, you knocked out UASS in roughly four months, and you are now five months down the road on Storm World. But, you have stretched out your stage to encompass a much larger cast of characters, this time. On top of that, there is a constant sense of imminent disaster throughout the chapters, so far. As one male "cat" indicated, it is hard to remember they only crashed a little over one day ago!

I am amazed that you wove such an intriguing tale in UASS with four main characters (1 human and 3 "cats" plus small number of periferals), and now you are reaching out with double that number! Please do keep the cast listing at the head of each chapter, too easy to get lost otherwise.

I look forward to each new chapter, and am so glad when one appears. Just as someone else posted, there are other stories which I have followed that took years for the authors to complete. Several other serials in my interest list are ongoing.

A good story is worth waiting for. Your story has shown itself thus far to be well worth the waiting.

Your story is great so far. I am enjoying it immensely and I can be a bit picky when it comes to some pf the stories I read. You're doing just fine. Don't feel like you have to get everything done and posted within some short time frame. Haste makes waste and all that. So don't worry about taking some time to hammer out the plot, characters, and other details to your satisfaction. Just DO NOT give up on your story.

While more frequent chapter is definitely welcome; and I don't think anyone would want you to quit because of losing motivation, don't rush just simply to satisfy people who are impatient. You are a gifted writer, and quality almost always beats speed and quantity.

Take your time, please yourself first, your story to tell. We will wait.

I have several that I wait for,... gladly. There is always something new to enjoy. I just mark my place in them and check back often.

Thank You for your time, talent, energy, and your gift.

... but i guess from my perspective author raised the quality standard with the 1st story so high that this one beying simply good does not cut it.

Ripper fish, please do not become discouraged with the pace of your writing. Very few successful, professional, full-time writers produce more than one book per year. You wrote UASS in 4 months in your SPARE TIME! Your reasonable fans recognize that "life happens" - work, family, your state of health, and other pressures impact the amount of spare time that you can devote to your writing. Your comments at the beginning of each chapter make it obvious that you are driven to write and that you take great pride in your efforts. I suspect that you get motivation from the joy, respect, and encouragement expressed by your readers. It would be foolish to sacrifice any of that for the sake of expediancy. You are writing about a new world from the view point of the alians, and your life situation is likely different than it was 2+ years ago - give yourself a break - it may take a little longer to achieve the same level of quality that you provided in your previous story. I, like most of your readers will happily wait.

Thank you for your excellent storytelling - you ARE a true Craftsmen.

The tension was pretty thick there, I mean obviously it wouldn't be too late (what's the point of writing that?) but I could see a mad scramble if there was very little time.

The personalities are jelling more, becoming more defined. Excellent job with M'peth and how she treated Chep. LOL, sorry, too easy for me to envision him as "Chip" or "Chet", one of those sweater-draped-over-pastel-colored-polo-shirt wearing bitches from the 90's :D

Of course he's not all bluster, but his attitude still rankles.

Ben being off kilter is an amazing - and completely legit - character trait; then add Angela and you've got a really cool and dynamic character. *tips hat*

Thanks for writing, am looking forward to more!

Excellent story RF, can tell it´s going to be another great endeavor on your part...Thank You, by the way for writing for "Our" enjoyment...you on PATREON yet, if not get on it as soon as you can, well worth it for all of us and a good way to express our thanks.

Please don't give up on both your writing and this story. I enjoy reading your work very much and I'm sure that many others share that pleasure with me. I can understand that you get frustrated at not being able to post as often as you would wish but rest assured that your fans will bear with you as you work to gift us with decent reads.

Another well written story. Waiting for the next installment.

I'm loving the way Benjamin keeps zoning out and talking to his girl, almost as if he has some sort of mental connection to the actual girl. Your writing is way better than a lot of authors on this site, although I did see one or two slips that could be SpellCheck's doing, but they did not detract from the read much.

I do have one slight peeve, though, you (or was it the moderators?) changed one of the story tags from "cats" to "cat" (singular), and I didn't find this chapter for a while...I finally looked at the list of chapters at the end of chapter 6 to find it. A consistent tag helps us find the next chapter when it appears.

Just checked Rippers bio, should be up on friday or monday!

I love the novel, much as I loved "Upon a Savage Shore", however the foreign units make smooth reading impossible.

The first encounter is of course an instant disconnection: it is suddenly necessary to scroll (and possibly change page) to get the translation, and then to find back where one was. Needless to say, the flow of reading is totally interrupted.

The subsequent encounters, though, are nearly as bad. The units are too rare, and too numerous, to be memorized. If it was one or two, coming up regularly, it would maybe work... though with "interrupted" reading (a chapter a day) I would not assume so.

And that is not counting the conversion. Just translating the unit is not enough; one needs to apply maths to convert. I appreciate the realism of going for decimals, but it does not ease the maths.

I see two possibilities:

- An immediate "editor's note" following the quantity and unit, which converts the quantity into a familiar unit. This would considerably reduce the interruption and may be sufficient to preserve the flow of reading.

- Acceptance that, as part of translating from Cat to Human, the quantities and units are translated too, and you do not get to show off your cool unit system.

As a fan of worldbuilding, I'd prefer the former (editor's note) as it allows retaining that foreign feeling and gives more insight into the culture. Other readers may prefer not having to bother, though.
