Well I love to read, but lately I've been getting disappointed in how people write, so disappointed that I now have set guidelines for myself when reading a story, I will no longer read stories that have below 10 chapters or must have a minimum of 15 pages, If they don't have either of those they must be completed. If incomplete must have a minimum of 2 to 6 weeks of regular updates, the faster they have been updated the more likely I will read their story. Must not string me a long, If I'm going to fan your story I will most likely pass it a long to friends to read too, I don't need to be made a fool of by backing your story and then finding out that you had no serious intentions of completing it or finishing it properly, it angers me when authors don't complete what they start and when they do complete what they start they have gotten sloppy after a certain amount of chapters, it ticks me off that they insult my support like that and will most likely remove myself as a fan. Seriously I don't think its fair that an author sets up a great story setting me up for a fantastic story only to pull the rug out from under my feet half way through. Its annoying and disrespectful to those who read your stories. The fact that people are content to settle for sloppy seconds makes me want to wack them over the head with a bat and tell them to grow a pair or better yet grow a brain.
In general I tend to be open minded most of the time but not when it comes to me using my time to read stuff written by other people just to have found out later on that they wasted my time and effort.. makes me want to hurl just thinking about it, and before i go getting any abusive messages let me ask you something, Say you were to put your time and effort into something and checked on it regularly only to have someone go and become sloppy with your time and effort, how would you feel? I am aware that there are circumstances though, but whats stopping people from letting their readers know?

@_borderlineCRAZY sure lol. I know it probably doesn't make sense right at the moment but having a talent that breathes what is called a soul into a story is a rare thing.  You definitely have it though it is kind of raw at the  moment.  I tend to get a head of myself sorry about that. It's up to you where you take your story but it wouldn't surprise me if you do finish it that it will some day be published, because of that rare quality it has. Im not saying it'll necessarily be a best seller but so far it looks like it has that potential to be internationally recognised. Btw the smartest thing you could do is give it time specially if you hit a wall, the more you force it the more likely you'll hate it. The only thing I could suggest if you do hit a wall is let your readers know, don't mess with a reader. Last but not least, pay more attention to reads then votes... Society today doesn't have time for votes but reading it does. It's not the votes that tell you if your story is liked it's the reads first then the comments votes shouldn't even be considered. Take the kpop group super junior and their song Mr simple for example 64million bits on YouTube, 100k plus likes  it's  the hits that tell you the songs liked before the likes. The truth is you'll always get haters  no matter what, it's how well you ignore them that will see your story go far so goodluck let me know when you want me to start editing.

@Tempestian you kind of lost me for a minute there, but thankfully i found my way back and i've understood fully everything you've said especially the part where you said you would also be honored to be my editor, (so what if you're not a professional, i mean, i just turned sixteen, i'm no professional either. i'm kind of looking forward in the future on the part where i crash down and burn and end up living with my cousin as a freeloader. because that would be pretty sweet.) and i guess i'm also guilty about that  whole blowing up about my story sucking but i just give it time, like two months tops. i look at the votes and i look at the reads and i'm like "i would ultimately suck if i dont continue this, but i still gots no idea on what i want to happen next so i'm just gonna go sit in the dark and concentrate" or something sort of like that. okay so i'm babbling. its i cant whip out stuff like stories having souls like you, if it were me i would have used 'content' or something appropriate . anyho i'm just saying are we go on you becoming my editor?

 @_borderlineCRAZY continuing lol.... While a story doesn't have to have soul in it to be a good read, it does if people want that read to be remembered. To tell the difference between a soul story and a non soul story ask yourself these questions:
1. Does it make me laugh, cry, get angry etc?
If no; do I still read it even if doesn't have emotion?
2. Is this something I would normally read?
if no: am I enjoying this read so far?
If yes: does it suck me in or am I still aware of the world.around me?(this is often the number one way to tell weather a story has soul or not, weather it sucks you in or not and that itch to keep picking it up and reading it again until it's done and then that urge to reread it again and again). It's this reason Harry potter was popular amongst the ages, it has soul, I read each book at least 32 times a piece. Twilight is conflicting for me because while the story has soul it has a copied soul. A copied soul isn't really a soul story it's a stolen soul don't get me wrong the content of the story line is the authors but if you take away the Romeo and Juliet theme with the forbidden love to it you have one heck of a boring story. It can be noted by the host series, God I'm sorry but that was boring. I got to chapter three and have it a way as a bad joke. This is another way of knowing if a story has soul or not. The fact that your story made me break my own rule is evident to what your talent is. I look forward to watching it grow.

@_borderlineCRAZY oh wow... That's wow. Lol sorry I'm... Rather speechless. I don't mind editing it though I'm not a professional, though im confident I could edit it and do that editing justice. Are you ok with that? If so I would be honored to help you out. And don't worry lol you write rest well. Im a but worried about hour though. If you ever start to dislike your own story talk to me first please. The reason why I ask is becausE the other say, an author I respected discredited her own work and her readers and until she had blown up at us readers I was fully into her stories. I get what she mental that she thought it had to have sexual content.in order for the story to get read, however that isn't the case it had what I call mild sexual content, which means those scenes were steamy without needing all the details and it was believable. But that wasn't the reason why she got readers, she got readers because well the emotions.and story had that realistic feel to it, much like yours does. It's a rare talent to have, being able to put a "soul" into a story like that and until she blew up at us fans I loved reading her stories, I loved the idea that she could have gone far even famously so, if she had of asked first instead of blowing up and melting down first. At the same time I feel sorry for her, she had a real talent for writing but now that she has discredited herself like that she's not only lost readers but also any chance she had of making it big without having to struggle to get.there. Your probably wondering why im telling you this, it's because you have that same talent, it's a very rare talent to have. And while yours is still developing it's still giving your stories an added edge. Now let me just tell you, I don't read your stories cause of the steamyness I read it because it's got that realistic soul to it, where it feels real. I've read thousands of books in my life but yet I can only name a dozen that had a soul in them. Don't get me wrong a story doesn't

Tempestian, I never said that Chris was werewolve, you proabaly miss-read it or something. The reason as to why thier emotion's keep changing is really because he wasn't going to be a player then reject his mate. I wanted to make the story to show the relationship not a rejection like most stories. It's all very confusing, I understand, but I'm working on fixing it now. Everything is always confusing in the beginging and Dominik is just trying to put his mate in the right place,vice versa. I'm sorry if you won't keep reading.
