Ahhh...
This was the story that started to get my interest in becoming an author.
Reading back through it... It just amazes me how talented you guys are.
This story brings back memories...and jeez, this story is what, a year and a half old?
And 270 pages?! That's like...a novel!
This truly is better than most stories i've read in my lifetime.
I just wish I had as much talent as you guys. It's just... astonishing.
It's a shame everyone is less active in the stories nowadays, myself included, because we all had a pretty good thing going on.
Haha...I remember my first reply to this story, where I was just sort of stalking Gray.
My god my grammar and writing skills were horrible.
But just today, I looked back over my stories, and I saw my progression up to the latest chapter of Sisters in Arms, and, well...
There's a difference. And their wouldn't have been one without you guys edging me to do better.
I just wish we knew each other irl. We could share ideas. You could teach me how to write as amazing as you do.
We could even publish a book, which you can honestly do by yourselves.
And I'd be able to talk to someone about AE, since none of my friends play any of there games :p
I'd be lying if I said spending as much time on the computer as I did with the forum gang made my life worse.
On the contrary. My writing and english grades improved drastically.
My storytelling skills got MASSIVELY better, lol.
But i'm certainly not at your level. I have to many characters, and I make a too varied past for Zafara.
Makes things confusing. Sometimes I skip details on accident, or the story turns strangely.
My dialogue isn't even remotely close to yours, nor are my fight sequences.
But I won't give up. I try harder with every story to get to your level, and you can see my slow progression.
But I don't know if I ever will reach your level. Maybe I won't.
I can honestly say the forumites have changed my life for the better.
I've gained knowledge and skills that I don't know if I would have had if I didn't join the forums.
I've made friends, and some friendenemies (I'm lookin' at you shadow!).
I've had great conversations with some, about life and the future.
I guess to summarize this whole thing, I should just say thank you.
Thank you for helping me get better grades.
Thank you for helping me a better writer.
Thank you for expanding my horizons on the future.
But mostly, thank you for being great friends.
You guys are all great.
~Lady Zafara
