Terra Novae Spes Comment Thread

Let me start this since this is an ongoing series that's going pretty well. I'm actually writing Epic 5 at the moment meaning, yes, I have completed 2, 3 and 4 already...

Posting in due time though lol

Anyhow, I welcome comments, criticisms, concerns, pointing out grammatical and continuity errors and other such feedback on the stories as they go along. That way, the readers can see a "clean" thread as I feel some might be hesitant to comment in the story thread itself.

So, please, comment away as I'd love to hear some feedback.

For those catching up:

Terra Novae Spes - Epic 1

Terra Novae Spes - Epic 2

Terra Novae Spes - Epic 3

 

The answer is even I have a hard time keeping track of everyone. Being such a wide "cast" with a broad range of characters, I actually had to start an Excel doc just to keep track of who was who. Basically, first and last names, what section they were involved with and later on, which Expedition they belong to. At current, I have four tabs with different info and over 150 characters that play some part in the saga. Some are just mentioned by name, others become strong characters.

Coming up with names wasn't easy and I have a website I use heavily to thank for a lot of that, both first and last names:

Most Common Surnames [Last Names] in the United States (top 1000)

A lot of American names are "universal," but I also just use a Google search of "most common <insert nationality here> girl/boy names" or "most common <nationality> last names" to get a feel for what to name a character.

You haven't seen anything yet...

 

I’m enjoying your story quite a bit.

 

Also enjoying the story. It's the first thing I check for when I hop on the site.

 

I try to post up new chapters Wednesdays and Sundays.

 

Errr...I guess I am missing something as I don't see Epic 1? Is it posted elsewhere? Looking now... AH! Found it. Reading now...

EDIT: Hey! This is pretty good! Up to Chp 13...

 

Will you be putting your books on Amazon or the like?
They're more than good enough to publish.

 

Maybe...

@ChrisNuttall Do you mind shooting me a PM? I'm curious about KDP.

 

Sent. Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Eeeek. What happened? Why did they remove Ben as leader?

 

You will find out in Epic 3...

 

That was just mean. It's a long time till Wensday.

^^^Yep ya big meanie^^^Grand needs to change his name to Cliff.

 

I don’t mean to be nasty, but you should have said what crime he is accused up front. As is the first installment is a bit rambling, and pointless until we know what he did. The best writers get to the point quickly.

Again, no offense intended, I tend to be blunt.

Well, it's called a cliffhanger for a reason and the vehicle I used to bridge Epic 2 and 3.

Nobody gives away the fate of a character in a prologue.

 

Thanks for the new series,I was going through withdrawals.

 

I’m just not you have the ability to make it stick
( not sure)
Sorry Grand found one

 

So the little Rip Marci is back in the picture she's trouble,trouble I tell ya. Thanks for another one Grand.

 

I'm seeing that same error pop up again that I saw a few months ago about the "forbidden resource." It went away for a while, but now it seems to be back...
