Good moorning, bacons! Here we are again, another december 1, another nano novel to post... wait, what's that? It's actually january? Whoops. So yeah, I totally intended to post this in dec but I forgot and then there were things and gah and forgive me for my crimes it's here now! And it sucks but I'll pretend if you will. This story is rated M for mature. It has some themes and situations that are definitely not appropriate for the younger set. There's also some swearing, but it's fairly mild. Please use your own discretion. For those of you who are familiar with pooky, a lot of things are going to seem familiar. That's intentional. Without getting into spoilers or anything, I'll just say that though I've reused quite a few characters and situations, the basic premise of the story is vastly, vastly different (and better), and therefore the plot does eventually diverge quite a bit from pooky. Namely, that there is one. I'll start from scratch next nano, promise. Don't let me forget I said that. To spare you from having to read through the comments in between updates, the whole shebang will be available on google dogs [typo, but I'm leaving it in]. I'm hoping to have it all edited and posted by the end of the month, but you never know. The earlier chapters have already been edited a bit, but I intend to do some major revising as we go, including the addition of at least three more chapters in specific places. Please bear with me if I fail to update every day. Also note that I'm prolly not going to post here every time I update, because I'm a lazy cow. c: Last but not least: As always, the entire work is copyright 2011 moo may. And here you go. |

amgz now I have to read it again ![]() Some stuff, because I never actually gave you proper feedback.
What could? My silly little brain is cobnfush.
The break of thought after the dash (which isn't actually a dash!) reads like it carries on as a description of the babies—sleeping...cheap, expendable, just like the children themselves. Granted, you didn't use a comma, so there's nothing wrong there, but if you modified the sentence so it's clear you're describing the cribs, that would make it smoother.

This I found strange because you don't get certainty from doubt. It's the opposite; the progression of doubt leads to, well, more questioning. I get how it works the other way too though, so that isn't much of an issue if you think of it that way. And there's a nice little double meaning where the doubts are both clarified, and made certain doubts. Or something.
Hyphen. Also I love this line. moar! |

Yo, I've been waiting too. When I get some free time this is totally next on my list. I'm pushing it ahead of A Study In Scarlet. |

Look carefully. There's something wrong with this picture. | |

1: I agree with you on the "Loneliness..." thing, will see if I can find a better ending. 3: T.T uh just pretend that never happened. 4: don't we all. 5: I'm considering cutting that sentence altogether, as it doesn't really add anything. Hm. Thank youuu
