So, I was detail oriented on this one. Its not the best and I got held up in a ton of details and stuff. Towards the end I found a groove. Please give me feedback. I will write 1 more chapter before starting to add new (you) characters into the story. Remember to note me and get to know me so I can accurately represent you (or your sona) in my story to the best of my ability.

The best pieces of advice I can give came from this.
Use .txt as the file so that people don't have to download it. I for one don't mind that extra step, but odds are the vast majority of your potential reader base won't want to bother. Sad but true.
Add a thumb of your own. Don't let FA use their stock "story" image. Digital Artists get the luxury of having browsers SEE their image before they click, which ultimately leads to them having MORE viewers. We have to do what we can to bring about the same. Anything you can do to get an IMAGE there, with your title of course, to bring yourself MORE viewers is a good thing. I use my digital scrapbook program to make myself a pretty backdrop on which to put the title and any themes I feel are relevant. Some people commission other Artists to draw a picture for it. You may even choose do some sort of trade with an artist for much the same end. Others just bust out the trusty old gimp or paint and apply the K.I.S.S theory.
Whatever you choose, make sure you have a non-stock thumb. You'll be surprised at the results.
I see what you meant about the details. I'm not going to lie, I LOVE the details. Stephen King is my favorite author for many reasons, but one of the biggest is his descriptions. I love the movie that plays in my head while I read, and I love it more when you give me so many details, I don't have to bother filling it in myself. That said, you have infinitely more detail here. For people like me, that's probably a good thing. If you're trying to reach a broader fan base though, you may want to scrimp on them a little.
Hopefully what you've gotten from this is that I like the story, would like to see more of it, and you're pretty talented. Most of the things I told you are just supposed to help you get more viewers. =^.^=
