Children of the First reviewed at the Web Fiction Guide
Posted by: Alex McG in Notes from the Author, Web Fiction Community
Children of the First was just reviewed over at The Web Fiction Guide, which is one of the best (if not the best, since Pages Unbound is out of the running) communities of web fiction readers and writers.
Chris Poirier, one of the WFG Editors and author of Winter Rain, gave CotF 3.5 stars in his review, Children of the First: a fun little romp, and I think that's pretty decent for nine chapters in.
The review was very well written and I tended to agree with Chris's criticism, though I have the benefit of knowing that certain things are going to change as the story progresses.
Chapter 10 is getting closer every minute (well, not this one), and I'll have it up as soon as possible (it's gonna end up being looong). For now though, we'll have the first guest piece.

Congrats. =D Seems like a fair review, except that I'd argue it's hard for anything to really be happening yet when you really just started. Also, he doesn't take into consideration that I do that I'm assuming you have some sort of bigger, more grand (grander? XD) plot that's going to have elements introduced soon and will lead to something more than just the continual adventures of Shawn. Seems like a pretty fair assumption to me given the quality of your writing so far. =)

You'd be correct in your assumption, but I think it's fair for him to say there isn't any of that yet, regardless of whether there will be soon or not.
