 * Oooh long comments :D* (though I may have to edit this a couple times .. ) ;P Yes, there was a big jump, and yet FWC .. as you say .. is lacking in quite a few areas. Still, this was the book I wrote TWB for, this was truly the book that started .. erm .. everything. So you can blame it for all the others ;P

Eh hehe .. well. I literally had no real tight plan for FWC. I just sort of made a simple backbone and .. did whatever I wanted to do around it. So this is the reason some characters (like Gonff) that I meant to give a ton more screen time than I did, got pushed on the back burner and almost forgotten. I have since then learned that's not the best way to do a story .. though I will still struggle with it here and there ..

Oh, the exclamation points .. >.< *blushes* Yes .... I just haven't gotten around to editing all that ..

Redfarls age problem is mostly because I did not know how to portray characters very well .. she's about thirteen-fourteen. Also, my ideas of her may have evolved as I wrote .. which is probably also a part of that.

And I haven't read this through in a long time .. but I probably tried to insinuate time passing where I should have wrote more. I honestly don't remember a lot of those first chapters right now ..

I can't remember those spots either, but I totally trust that they are there ;) Yes, while I do not own a horse, I have ridden them and worked with them on a regular basis quite a few times, so in 'anthroizing' them, in a sense, I probably messed up some. But I think I have learned to write them better .. (hopefully)

Ah yes .. *laughs* all the inconsistencies in my prophesies. That's because I changed and totally reworked my original idea at about chapter 20 ... then didn't know what to do with what I'd already done .. so I just sort of .. kept on. TPF prophesies don't change like that (I don't think, anyways)

Well .. that was probably because of my dislike for 'Roderick' I made him too evil, too fast. If only I'd spent more time on him in TWB .. *facedesk and double facedesk* Ehh .. idk what I was thinking anymore with the whole Vohs and Roderick on the Bloodwake thing. But looking back, you're right about that.

Yea .. I do remember there was something amiss with Whegg and Regina .. but I can't remember how it happened anymore .. :P

Ooooh that whole Bloodwake thing. I think the idea that Rose and all of Noonvale would be captured by Ripfang and reunited with Martin was the beginning to all my misadventures, actually :D

Well .. yes. There are probably plenty of clichés. But I'm glad you liked how it worked out :) *haha* Oh that string of people following each other .. Roderick, look what you started! It was supposed to be funny .. have you ever watched Disney's original 'That Darn Cat'? I got the idea from a certain piece of that movie .. ;P

Ah yes, my Ignasa and Malimore thing. Well, they're the true driving purpose underneath the characters, and I will say, that through my books, I've changed many things about them and become better at portraying them too. The Prophets and the Shadow Fighters are joined by Ignasa's army of white wolves, Malimore's army of dark wolves, spells, and green power. But I think you will enjoy it, if you liked them in FWC :)

And .. *sigh* I have to agree, it was. No, not all what I was meaning to show .. I have several characters later on who are adopted, and they are very happy with their adopted parents. (One of them is much happier than he would be if he'd been raised by his real parents) It was really how Urran handled it that made it go wrong, and the entire concept I was trying to show with Noonvale is a touchy one .. I probably was not adapt to write about it at such a level, and I was also a bit afraid to address it as deeply as I should have. So the problem was deeper than that she was adopted, and I'm not at all against adoption .. which parts do you think it would be good to change? :)

Yes .. Tangled heavily inspired my thirteen year old self :P While I still enjoy the movie, I realize now that it has its flaws .. and also that my original ideas for the flowers had their flaws too. I'll always suffer a bit thanks to those mistakes .. but thankfully I've been able to salvage the idea to a .. fairly understandable state. Oh yes ... they have nasty side effects .. in .. odd ways >:)

Narnia .. I've been reading Narnia since I was seven or something, toting around a thick book with all seven stories everywhere until it fell apart. And then of course I love the movies. I was too little when LWW came out, but when PC hit theaters, I was all over it XD So there are *cough* quite a few Narnia references. Lately though, I've refrained from taking obvious ideas from other works and tried to come up of with more of my own things :)

I probably did ... that's because I think I entered his name in spell check about four different ways .. I'm eternally messed up from that .. :P

(I will continue this, but my internet connection is being stubborn and I don't want to loose what I have done ..)
