I bookmarked it to read it later. ^^

Thanks buddy.

Your welcome. ^^

SOOOOOOOOOO LONG. Ill read it soon. If you note me. <~> sorry i cant remember well.

Maybe bookmark it. ^.=.^

Bookmarked! Is this the last part?

No, way. There are a lot more to come my friend.

...and now you write books. Seriously send this to a publisher if you think is good enough...
I think its plenty good. ^=^
i want this in book form so i can read it when my internet dies. ^.^

Curse my phone and it's horribly short battery life... Ima read it later tonight and comment back then. :D

Thanks buddy. I really look forward for your comment, telling me what you liked and not.

Thanks for finally updating! :P I really enjoyed getting to continue reading this series from you.

Now time for some rare criticism. This isn't too big of a deal for me, but I thought I'd point it out since I see it so frequently in your writing.

A snip from a sentence in your story: "which did mostly show pure facts."
The usage of the word "did" is awkward here. Instead of using the past tense of some words, you substitute it by using the word "did" in a lot of your sentences.

It would read better like this: "which mostly showed pure facts."
See how I took out the word "did" and used the past tense of "show" ?

Here are some more examples in snippets of your sentences along with my corrections.

Your sentence: But unlike the last times when the film did start nearly instantaneously
Corrected: But unlike the last times when the film started nearly instantaneously

Your sentence: The blue dragon did sit up straight and brought his hands
Corrected: The blue dragon sat up straight and brought his hands

Your sentence: He pressed the button several on the screen times with his finger but nothing did change
Corrected: He pressed the button on the screen several times with his finger but nothing changed

Your sentence: I thought Matt did download everything
Corrected: I thought Matt downloaded everything

Your sentence: SORRY, THE DOWNLOAD DID STOP WHEN THE HARDRIVE'S CAPACITY
Corrected: SORRY, THE DOWNLOAD STOPPED WHEN THE HARDRIVE'S CAPACITY

These are just the first few examples I found as I reread the first parts of your story to find them.
It's a tad distracting to read the sentences like that, but it isn't TOO big of a deal for me.

I still enjoy your story and hope you update more often. ^^

Did you allready read the whole chapter? Wow. Thanks buddy. Also thanks for the critics, that is really helpful for me. ^.=.^

You read it through? Thanks.

Oh, sure. I look forward for your comment, telling me what you like about it and what not.

I will write what the General is able to gather about 'Fafnir' and what he thinks how the 'American' project evolves and such. ^^ So that we can see what his speculations are.

Well, as the General thinks how 'Fanir' looks, since Fafnir is in reality Syrren.

phew....just finished reading this chapter.....lemme tell you friend, there are far and few between stories that i've come across that honestly make me almost afraid to keep reading, but at the same time too intrigued to stop. there's a helluva lot of thought it seems that's been put into the story in its entirety so far and i can honestly say i anxiously await the next chapter ^^

I make you afraid to read my stories? Wow...that is...well I don't know how I feel about that. Is it because of the length, too many details, too many parts where I just tell things without saying something essential? Please tell me, so I can maybe change it later. And I really hope to post the next chapter much sooner than this here, nine months between two chapters is way too long.

OH! Its not from anything wrong with the story XD. With so much detail, for me this story really pulls me into its world, for lack of better description. When I'm really settled in reading something, or playing a well made immersive game, stuff in or about the situation affects me a lot more. There have been stories that try to throw the "horrors of the world" card, and fail from my perspective, cause there's not enough setup, not enough reader investment gained, ya see? ^^

I feel exactly the same way, if there is a game or a book, I also want to konw at least a little bit of the background, how it happened, why it happened, who was involved and all that stuff. That is also why I posted the world map, so if people get curious about the series, they can have a look at it, and also ask specific questions about it, maybe what would have happened in their country.

heheh ^^ like i said, clearly a lot of thought has gone into this, and i greatly applaud ya for that =D

Dunno if you have my attempt to picture the world or where you are from, so if you wanna know what happened to your country, just ask me in a comment on the map.

i'm from the east coast of america ^^; but the way you describe things, its all stuff i wouldn't be surprised to hear coming out of this country =/ you know, the whole "god its embarrassing to live here sometimes" routine X_X

Well, to be honest, I was a bit unsure how much I can write without sounding offensive to the American audience.

This is awesome Matt. You're such a great writer honey It's always wow for me how you can describe the emotions of Matt and Syrren. i said it before, it's very rare that stories touch me emotional, but you always make it hun

But when I read your stories I'm also afraid. Afraid of that all this can become real

Thanks my lovely mate.

Yeah, I really try to give people a feeling that it could happen. Sorry if it got too realistic for you.

I love this story by the way, you have such a good talent for describing its amazing because it really give me a new perspective on how dragons look when being anthro. To say the least i really look forward to the next chapter

Wow, thanks for the comment. Did you read the previous chapters too? Just curious. I really look forward for more of your comments.

Yes actually, a friend of mine showed me them and i coudnt believe what i read, the universe you created... was AMAZING I could not believe how much i liked it and got absobed into the story and how the characters were set up

Wow. *blushes* I'm flattered, buddy. ^.=.^ You know there are also some pics in my gallery that doesn't show my sona and my mate or so but instead small scenes from my series, including the world map you can find there, just to let you know.

awesome and thanks i really like you writing, ever since i read the first chapter i couldn't stop, just too good

That is so nice to hear buddy. When I first started writing on the series, I didn't think that I would get so many lovely comments one day.

Wow thanks for the note matt! That was...well a hell of a backround. ^^
be sad if it happend....
But amazing work! Im already worried for the poor blue draggie. <~>

Yeah, I know. Lots of facts here, but I didn't know how I should put it into the series on another way. I hope you don't mind. ^.=.^'

Nah it was fine! Bit long. <~>
but thats all.

want moooore soo gooood story

So, I've gone and read everything, (and posted here like you asked me to :) ), and I find it all to be endlessly fascinating!
Ignoring the fact that it needs little work on repairing a few syntax and grammatical errors, you really have an absolut gem of a story here! And very vivid too! Especially when Matt was showing Syrren the news foorage. I could almost see in my minds eye Berlin under attack (and it really is something different to make the U.S. out to be the bad guys...not something you see very often).

And I know most people complain if the story is very long, but I have to say, I enjoy a lenghty story (because normally when I finish, I wish there was more, so the longer the better I always say).

Oh, but how I do seriously wanna see something more grow between Matt and Syrren!

The only real question I have is (and this may sound rather silly) but is the immediant setting of the story set in France?

Thanks for such a long comment. ^.=.^

Yeah, I thought that is was somehow too stereotyped with America being the good guy. You can never tell what happens in the future, so I guess it also possible that something like that might happen, although I hope not.

And thanks that you enjoyed the long chapter, in fact I was worried a bit about this one here, since there is a great deal just explanation and not so much of a plot.

Hehe, well for the relationship between Matt and Syrren...just wait and see. ^.=.^

For the setting of the story, well, I don't really wanna define where it is playing, it could play anywhere in the European Alps. So it is up for you to decided where it should play. ^.=.^

Well, as far as I'm concerned a good book will have bits that are a bit boring, that's just how it goes. You need to be able to set the stage for larger events in the future.

Yeah, true. Sorry that here there is basicly not much progress in the plot. I just needed to give a lot of background to the reader so they understand better what kind of world they live in and I simply love to write so much about the background.

Well you seem to have done your research well. I would never have been able to create such a setup of post nuclear war scenarios (mostly because when it comes to timelines everything goes tits up for me)

Have you seen the map I did on it? If you are interested maybe, you can ask me any question about it, maybe what happened at your place. ^^

What

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7843027/

Here. ^^

More confused about the 'maybe what happened at your place' part

Well, I just had some people asking me specific stuff about the place where they live, wanted to know what happened in my stories at their place.

Oh, aha, I was really confused then. Well I live in a place called Milton Keynes just outside London, so I more or less know what happened. nothing. Like always

Oh, well. In my story London, at least central Londond, was heavily bombed by the USAF during the 17 minute war in 2017. ^^

Nuclear? If so I'm screwed. It's really windy here.

Nope, just normal F22s and F16s and Tomahawk cruise missiles that hit central London and some military bases around it. London was the city in Europe that was hit the hardest. But not weapons of mass destruction.

heheh, or otherwise known as flying salamis. 'These things in the skies, they were no flying salamis but flying desks' That is the strangest sentence I've ever seen, but it really did make me giggle quite a lot. Soooooooooo drawing it.

Really? ^^Glad I could make you smile.

This story is absolutely captivating :D

Im loving the character development between these two and to be honest I hope they get closer =3

I hope you will continue this series soon ^.=.^

Thanks, this story will definetly be finished, although it will take some time, but I hope to finish the next chapter before X-mas, maybe even December.

Just asking, what do you like most of the story until now?

That would be awesome ^.=.^

To be honest I've been on the edge of my seat wanting those two to get a bit more intimate X3

But the story as a whole has a great background and character development! You are a very good writer :D

Hehe, just wait the intimate scenes will come eventually. But Syrren is a very shy dragon so it will take some time. ^^

Hehe, thanks, took my quite some time and brain work to write it. Dunno if you have seen it, but I also got some pics, that illustrates some scenes of the story.

Im sure it will be worth the wait ^.=.^ And you are quite welcome, I havent seen any pics to go with this but I think thats a great idea! :D

eine tolle Geschichte ich hoffe sie geht bald weiter die Geschichte war sehr spannend

Danke. Bin leider schon seit längerem in einer gewissen Blockade, bin aber grade dabei die zu überwinden, hoffe dass ich bald ein neues Kapitel liefern kann.

That was an extremely sad chapter, though quite an interesting one. I really want to know more about Syrren's past. I also wonder who he got into the cave in the first place.

Sorry, late reply is late. ^^

And thank you for your comment. I really hope to finish the next chapter this summer. ^^

Is this as far as you have written?

Yes, although the fifth chapter is allready started a bit. I hope to write at laest a single chapter during this summer, really delayed it way to long now.

So...what do you think so far about the story? ^^ Liked it?

I really like it. Not many stories keep my attention for very long, but this one is of a good quality. The first three chapters were really good. This one was a little bit drawn out because it went into such great detail. The story is unpredictable, which is good, so I am looking forward to what happens next. I am mostly wanting to know why the dragon skipped a few hundred years.

One thing that confused me is why Syrren couldn't crawl out of the cave in anthro form when Matt could do so easily.

And even though English is not your native tongue, it is still very good and it is easy to read.

Yeah, sorry about this chapter here, I know it is quite...well, long and without more plot like the other ones, but I wanted to bring in as much info about this world, so people could better imagine it.

Also for Syrren, it was mentioned in a previous chapter that Matt suspects that Syrren somehow hibernated in his cave, when he got trapped there by the earthquake blocking the cave-entrance. And I guess that Syrren would be too large to fit through the crack, I mean imagine him with his wings, would probably not fit into the crack.

And thank you, I really tried my best to write it in my best English. ^^

Btw, I just remembered to mention this. I like the insert of Shattered Union. I was really into Advance Wars and one of my friends said Shattered Union was like Advance Wars, so he recommended the game to me a looong time ago. Although I never played it, I recognized the description here.

just wow
I don't have the works to show how much I enjoyed this story so far.
I could go on and on about how much I liked the details and perspectives in this. I just don't have the energy to do so

Hehe, well. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. ^^

Hope to post the next chapter soon.

have read all chapters , hope you continue soon :O

So do I, dear. So do I.

Really hope to bring back that vibe and inspiration from back then...

I became interested to read your story after I saw this artwork: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19355150/ and have read the story excerpt there.
I like your writing style (I like how the text is written), even through I am Russian and still learning English, so I sometimes I have to use an online-translators.
So I have read all 4 chapters one by one in 6-7 hours (even though I was not sleeping for 24 hours), it was just so interesting! :D

I really liked, no, I LOVED interactions between Matt and Syrren from the very start, they all caused just such a warm and pleasant feelings.
When it turns out that Syrren can transform itself into human-like form, I was a bit dissapointed, since I am not a big fan of anthro dragons, but I decided to go with it and it was the right thing - because the next chapters were totally awesome! And looks like it is the only way for Syrren to get into a human-sized rooms... Also I decided to not pay much attention to the Matt's sexual orientation.

When they go for their first flight, I was so happy! ^-^ Although the story does not describe how exactly the flight is feeling, looks like it is left to the reader's imagination. :) I have tried to imagine what dragon can feel during the flight so many times. I even had a couple of dreams where I was flying as a dragon and that dreams were amazing. Some of the dreams were even lucid, too bad they don't last long...

When I have read chapter 3, I broke out into tears.
Especially when Syrren saw the helicopters.

It only takes just one rocket to interrupt the life of the beautiful creature such as a dragon. It is really "a horrific thought"...
There are almost no places where dragon can live and freely fly in this modern techno world. :( I just imagined how that would be for a dragon.
After reading this I almost hate all the war weapons and machines that humanity has invented.

Since I am not into politics, it was kinda boring for me to read about political stuff in chapter 4... But still there were some interesting moments. :) This chapter also scared me, especially the ending of the chapter... It is getting darker and darker. I just don't have a idea what will happen, and can only hope that everything will be ok.

Seeing that the first chapter was started 4 years ago, I was thinking that the story is already finished, but to my suprise, it is still not finished.

I hope you will find a motivation to continue your story! There are also many wonderful fanarts with Matt and Syrren!

P.S. Wow, I took me 90 minutes to write this post, I hope I wrote all the sentences correctly (it is hard for me to write in English). :)
