I love it but the near cliffhanger effect makes me wish for more! I can't wait for Dragon City!

Oh, by the way in word on standard text size, even if you already have it set up in a word program, came to 189 pages ^^ Saved with a copyright note to this FF account, though i'll delete it if you prefer.

Ah, if I cared about people having copies, I wouldn't be posting it on the internet! I'm just glad people are enjoying it.

Loved it!

...more! *cries*

You sooooooooooooo have to let me know when you get the next part done!

He he he. Okay. :)

Incredible! Such a good story! I...I don't know what to say! I'm a pretty good writter and plan to write a story like this (well, in the exception that magic and old times not my kind of story... Im more "today" and science kind) about dragons and that. Your writing style look a little like my own, so it catched my attention. My principal obstacle is the language, since I speak french, but with some time I can produce pretty good English texts! I first hope I will someday get to write this damn story I'm thinking of since a while and last but not least, I really hope it won't take a decade for you to write the second book!
Just great work, really!

Very glad you enjoyed it. :) Thank you.

This thing kept me reading for a long while nonstop. Thoroughly enjoyable. I usually prefer stories with trial ridden plots, as Serali is somewhat lonely and unsure of where she should be but doesn't encounter serious trials or opposition; this story though sucked me in by the quality of the writing itself and made every part interesting to read. You have built up massive pontential with this plot and I'm quite interested to see how this will turn out.

One thing that seemed to sort of jar the story in parts is long paragraphs of exposition. I personally didn't have a problem with it (reminded me of videogame exposition in ceratain RPGs when they want to fill in background), but generally speaking huge blocks like that have a tendency to bump the flow of the story. Other than that though no serious flaws jumped out at me.

I am very much looking forward to reading book two.

Thanks. :) Book two is still taking it's time, so it will be a while. But I'm glad you've enjoyed this.

Chapter 12?

"Book Two, Dragon City, is being written, but it's a slow process, so don't hold your breath. Dragon Child took more than a decade to be completed, and while I don't expect Dragon City to take nearly so long, it probably won't be done for another year or so. But don't worry, I have plenty of other stories to tell, so stick around and keep reading."

so this was book 1 ?

Yup. As it says at the top of every chapter. :) "The Dragon Queen. Book One: Dragon Child. Chapter whatever."

ok

It is a verry good story I cant wate for the next chapter

*flails* ok so I read this on your website I think, ages and ages and ages ago. Recently, I was browsing the web and I don't even remember what made me think of it, but thought to myself, "hey there was that story I read ages ago. I liked that. I wonder if I can find it again and I wonder if she finished."

So I searched and searched and couldn't remember what it had been called exactly and many things that were not that story came up on google. Then I tried to remember your SN and still! nothing. so then I tried to remember what the main character was called and that plus your SN magically found the story for me on the internet!

And then I saw you were on FA and LJ and all manner of places and I probably could have found it very easily if I'd searched more efficiently or something XD

TLDR: I really enjoyed this story. I'm happy to see you're continuing! I want to know what happens next :D Thank you very much for sharing it :) I really liked the worldbuilding you've done. I may be mistaken but I recall some things were slightly different from the very first time I read this (...in the late 90s?) anyway, I quite like it :D

Yeah, I actually lost the original story files and had to completely re-create a good bit of it, and honestly couldn't remember what I'd done the first time around! :D I'm glad you like it, and it's always nice to run into an old fan. :)

I hoop that your continue this story.

btw i think that this is inteset you http://web.archive.org/web/20060108.....m/lit/lit.html

That's my old website, yes.

A great story, lots of cliffhangers, kept me seated to the very end. 10/10. Hope there is a sequel to this.

Thank you! Someday there will be a sequel, but it's not done yet, sadly.

I look forward to it.

What a wonderful story. Any idea when Dragon City will be completed?

Not a clue. Given this one took me ten years I'm trying to avoid making any promises on the next one.

Hi I just this who book again and I love it. Don't mean yo be annoying but how far are you from posting the next book? It has been years from when you said you will Finnish and I want to know if you plan to finish it.

This book took me ten years to write. I am still working on the next one, but I can't say when. It'll be done when it's done.
