Title: Chapter 1: Doctor, doctor...
First of all, just wanted to say my sincere congratulations on finishing PLD with such an uplifting ending; it was such a pleasure reading and enjoying each chapter as it released! Moreover, I'm very impressed at your enthusiasm for writing and ability to quickly jump to a new story so soon after the end of the first one. I have a few potential story ideas for the site I have been brewing in my mind for a while now, but I don't have confidence in my ability to keep writing chapters in a reasonable time, especially since I have a fanfiction currently on the back burner that I haven't updated since 2013... yeesh! So, I can't express how happy I am to see you're showing no signs of stopping any time soon!
As for the story, I'm certainly intrigued at this point. I am a big fan of monster girl media (especially Monster Girl Quest, one of my favorite games of all time), so I'm very much looking forward to seeing what kind of society these monsters have built up and what their histories are. It probably goes without saying, but Abby is so far a much less sympathetic protagonist than Claire, even if most of that seems to come from the obvious societal influences and upbringing rather than any personal behavior on her part. But I'll be looking forward to seeing how her experiences with the monsters might change that for the better (or worse? Who knows? haha), and how the monsters will begin to change their respective views toward humans.
Lastly, just wanted to commend you on your technical quality of writing, which seems to continue to improve with each chapter. It's gotten to the point where there are very few noticeable errors or typos, and virtually none that seriously impede the flow of reading. So, on that front, well done!
Looking forward to what's coming up next!
P.S.: Definitely wouldn't mind seeing a gallery of the inspiration artworks for PLD if you still have access to those as well.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for your words Hyperian. I'm glad my stories are having an impact on you like they are. :D
If you want to write for this site, i'd definitely say give it a try. It's really impacted my life. But, i do get where you're coming from with the whole time frame thing. I was worried about that to, which is why a lot of my earlier chapters were spaced a month or more at a time. Something i would recommend though is, if you need help with planning, or writing, give Franchise Writer a message. He's told me to tell that to people who mention it. XD
Thanks to him, he's really helped me improve on my work, :)
I'm pretty sure he does Fanfictions to as well... but i'm not sure on that one.
As for Abby being different then Claire, i did that intentinally. As much as i love Claire's altruism, i don't want all my stories to just have the MC being like that. It would be repetitive and unrealistic... well, more so in stories that involve people in situations such as these. But yeah, each of the characters aren't going to be carbon copies of other characters. I like when mine stand out from others and that includes past characters i've already written.
All i can really say is expect Abby to have a profound impact on the characters and to them on her as well. Things may seem black and white for now, but that will be changing as time goes on.
Thank you again for leaving me such a detailed review. I hope F.W. can help you if you do message him. I'm looking foward to any stories you write. :D
P.S.
I also love Monster girl Quest~ xP
