lol sorry :D

Its ok you cleared it up.

I really liked how you put humans as the strongest race, where in most books humans are often considered the weakest. I find that it is rather unique.

Thanks. Since this is a future long past what thought of, humans would be at the peak with all there technology and such. But there are a few things that have changed though. Another characteristic of the lites I haven't told either.
What you think better, Remembrance or Reminiscence? I kinda like Reminiscence.

I realized with horror that Remembrance was on the second page.
But anyone who hasn't read it yet should, at least definitely the prologue, the other two chapters if you want to live <3

I desperately try to keep this off the second page :)
but if you haven't read this, just try the prologue and the first chapter, a mere one and a half pages and tell me if your hooked or not, thats it.
Cmon guys, God knows I don't ask you for much!!!!!!

About chapter 2 -

I can't say enough how exceptional your writing is. It's interesting, imaginative, and exciting to read. You draw the reader into a world full of emotion and intrigue, while keeping it simple and easy to understand.

One thing I've always loved about your writing is that you don't try to be something you're not, and you don't overcomplicate things to try and make up for a lack of writing ability. You're a terrific writer, and don't ever change your writing style. It's perfect, sophisticated, yet simple. You cannot be 12. If you were, the world would explode.

lol, your right, I turned thirteen (seriously).

Ironically, I've been rewriting the second chapter for a time now because I didn't like the feel of it as much. If you'd like when I post it, you can read that one too and tell me which one you think is better.

But thank you very much for the praise, it's appreciated hugely. I can't really come up with words now to show my thanks... but I'll try anyway! :)

"I really liked how you put humans as the strongest race, where in most books humans are often considered the weakest. I find that it is rather unique."

well... when most people do that, its for two reasons-
1. Humans already exist and we have accepted the fact of no 'special' powers besides our minds, really, but other races, people can invent and change at leisure. This makes them almost automatically put Humans as the weakest race
2. When most writer's do that, which many many of them do, it is because in a fantasy world we're still boring old humans with all this myth and magic surrounding us.

Where as for me... this isn't a fantasy world. this is just the future, however odd that may seem. Where that spire rises up and where the Lites live is Earth... plain and simple.

Alright guys, especially if you already read the second chapter but even if you didn't, I posted an alternate chapter of the second (lol finished the day before conan reviewed the original and said it was awesome) because I wasn't satisifed with the original, so could you read both and tell me which you prefer?

These chapters are not very short at all, just maybe 3 pages each, so it won't take to much time, see if you have it in ya :)

If you're going to read the entire thing, again the first two (prologue, chap 1) are only a page, so don't think it will be this whole long thing.
God Bless <3

Alright, I know you're all excited and you're keyboard has short-circuited from drool due to the fact that you excitedly await THE EDITED prologue rotfl. well, I edited it to to many reviews of Eolates fourth law and the black snow that were far from complimentary :). I have also posted an alternate second chapter which I'm hoping conan will read soon and get back to me on a PM that I've been waiting for cause I would really like to hear from him and-
off topic. anyways, this won't take to much time to read the prologue and if you're hooked read more.

Alright. Mods or Admins, could you please clean up any posts that are not critiques of Remembrance? Thanks.

I've started it all over again, and have a prologue and some of the first chapter. Read the prologue please, its short. Give a critique, you're feeling, and if you're hooked or not.

Thanks for staying with me this long :)

Adds to the sadness, the quickness, the hopelessness. "Too many ,Too many he could never find her she was gone, gone." Maybe I'll see what others say about this.

I think the real problem with this line is that we don't know what you're trying to say. "Too many, Too many..." Too many what? All he does is say that and then it runs on into a completely different sentence. To word it more correctly, it'd be "Too many, too many; he could never find her, she was gone, gone..." That is, I believe that that's what you were getting at. It still doesn't explain what there's too many of, though...

Anywho, now that you've only got that tiny little prologue, I don't see how you can be expecting too much feedback; I have no idea what's happening, only that some person is looking for someone he loves named Anna, and he can't seem to get to her. Then, when he finally does, they both disappear and it's over. I'd suggest at least beginning the first chapter so that we can get an idea of what it's all about.

A prologue crit is different then a chapter crit guys. Prologue: (least for this one) Tell if you felt emotion from it: Tell if you were hooked from it: and anything else you might like to add. I've repeated this more than once.
and I will possibly change that.

You can't feel emotion from characters you don't even know yet.

I can't only criticize the one paragraph prologue. Write some more.

You guys all suck! :p

you don't know them but can you feel emotion coming from that passage even if you don't know them? Yes or no question!

Yes you can. Were you hooked? ANswer that and the yes or no question.

Well yes, but no.

Yes because it's obviously supposed to be emotional, no because we can't really feel for the characters yet, so it's only because we know what it's supposed to be like.

It's a hook though, sure.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
