As I said to the Cuv, I've been busy. Sorry for not responding sooner.

Most of my opinions have been covered by others, unfortunately, so I don't have much to add.

Having Geoffrey there at the end kind of makes the fantasy a reality; most may have "forgotten" or pushed it away or whatever, but he's the proof it happened.

Reading this, something clicked. Something familiar, and definately not anime. It reminded me much of Carnivale. Being unsure at first who is good and who is bad, not knowing what each person represents, or why they are important, right up to the end; a fantasy world set in reality. Just enough of the realness (classes, friends, et al) to keep us rooted in what is supposed to be, while letting our minds wander through the elaborately woven web of fantasy.

Extremely well done.

Czar, thiank you for the kind words.  I'm glad to read your comments because you look for something else to compare it to first instead of anime.  Geoffrey is definitely mundane.  i could write on this story forever, I've enjoyed it so much. 

I've been thinking about it and I could certainly write about Acasja in her future.  I think the first chapter, the trip to Earth, would be a good glimpse at what she woudl be like as an adult in the real world.  I don't think anything I do will be this long.

Right now I'm rewriting the early chapters so it will be at while before I go onto something new. 

I must admiit the germ of an idea started forming earlier this morning.

If you're just looking for something generic, I've used Mediafire before.

Thanks guys,

Kadh I'll send it to you as soon as I finish the prologue.  Can you read it and see if this is better than the original since it's rather different at the outset.
