NovelistElly,
Thank you for reading my little note.
Unfortunately I think I may have offended when I did not mean to.
--+--
"I'm quite impressed with your analysis of one of my earlier passages. ... my writing from long ago ... are not up to the current standards I have set for myself....As for the mistakes..."
--+--
I see no fault in the writing standard and really intended no analysis. As for "mistakes" I think you misinterpret due to my clumsy attempts to help.
I sought only to lend a hand if it were of interest to you.
If I have offended I beg your pardon.
--+--
"...I wrote this under the impression that in whatever period Runescape is set modern medical practice is not in place...."
--+--
This might seem a logical time to use magic to solve the issues here presented but I would respectfully disagree with the "need". The instruments and techniques I mentioned were in common use long before Rome's legions set out for conquest.
Still I think I see your point in not bothering the reader with such "trivia".
--+--
"The pain that you described was completely numbed by magic, and as for the arrow being "intact" I was merely saying that it was in one piece."
--+--
I yield to your art...and await more.
It's really nice.
A small issue would be that if certain muscles in this region were cut in the manner described it might prove impossible to raise one's head, regardless of the pain.
We'll assume not.
--+--
"... I will leave it as it is. I am planning to edit the story eventually,.."
--+--
Don't edit out the "good stuff"!
Sorry, sounding too "pretentious" even for my own tastes.
Rest easy...and picture me smiling as a friend in the offering.
--+--
"I think we should just leave them in the dark, as an act of kindness I think...."
--+--
I love it!
Very "Thomas Harris".
The darkness may be a blessing
when magic is in the air
and so we'll leave those drenched dressings
in the surgeon's tender care.
Did I mention I love the story?
We must all learn to embrace our own inner newbishness

Resoun,
Do not worry, I was not at all offended by your inquiry into my writing, as a matter of fact, that you took interest at all brings me great joy. Nothing gratifies an author more, I should think, than to have *anyone* care enough to post constructive, helpful, informed feedback.
You have most certainly done this and so, in deepest sincerity I thank you for your interest.
Oh, and yes, you did mention that you loved it, quite a few times actually. Don't worry though, I shall never tire of compliments either.
A Writer,
An Intellecutal,
A Friend,
Elly
EDIT: Also, I almost forgot, you may not have noticed but you did point out a syntax error in my writing, by writing that the arrow was "completely intact" I may have erred, as that can cause confusion. I do appreciate that you brought it to my attention though. If you have not yet finished the story please do tell me what you think when you do.

NovelistElly,
I have finished reading the story.
I have also taken the time to read the various critiques rendered by the wide variety of people who both browse and contribute to these forums.
By and large I agree with most of these comments and critiques.
There are some I feel might be too harsh.
Then there are others which I find to be “spot on”.
Very few places do I have anything to add except in what is considered trivial detailing.
Overall I see a uniquely gifted group of friends working together to support each other.
As a group we share our strengths.
This seems in my mind to be the way a forum is -supposed- to work.
...and I am glad to find it thus.
Your story and indeed this thread have served as an education to me in what is expected of submissions here.
I only hope that my work might someday garner the level of participation, support, and readership as reflected here.
Overall an excellent story.

Hey, I know I've been a bit inactive recently. Thanks for that bump Cay and Resoun, and Res, thank you for your comments. I really do appreciate it.
Bump.
I really did appreciate this compliment: "I only hope that my work might someday garner the level of participation, support, and readership as reflected here."
Thanks again!
~Elly
