On second thought no not now. I'll have to get to reading your story at a point when I find the time.
It's not on here. Other than the occasional short story, I'm not going to post it until it is in comic form.

Alright, read at your own risk.

Spoiler
"Does the crash happen in the first story or this one?"
It actually happens in between the stories. A long time passes between the two stories and they don't even happen at the same place.

"Also it seems apocalyptic to me."
Melody Box takes place after the human empire has been destroyed. A few planets were missed by the calamity and this story takes place on one of them. After the Event man kind was all but extinct. Civilization reverted back to the basics and eventually man kind began to rise again, however the knowledge of how to use space age technology was lost to time.

"Gotta wonder how the humans have the strength to take on dragons."
Do you want to know the answer to this? And do you have any other questions that you would like to ask?

ah, interesting. Yeah sure I want to know the answer, unless the comic is coming soon then I can wait properly for the answers.

Just gotta ask how many more dragons are remaining, and if the series ends on this sequel

So doesn't look like I'll have the time to make any further progress on writing before I leave :(

I wanted to at least post a re-written chapter 3 of Public Enemy No.2 for you guys but it's not finished yet...

I am also still working on my creative shorts... I hope to hand-write them on the plane over to Canada so that they are ready for typing up when I get back...

Anyways, just wanted to apologise for not living up to any promises I may or may not have made, but things have been pretty hectic this week! (Just had my graduation ceremony in the middle of packing and shopping... so yeah I'm an official graduate now!)

Spoiler
Before the Arcane War, dragon's were almost as numerous as humans. During the Arcane War human magicians struggled against the dragons and their allies (traitor magicians). That is, until the invention of "golems" (Hint - My story is also steampunk). With their new creations humans quickly over powered most of the dragon forces. Now there are only a few clans left that have since retreated into the remote places of the world.

I put sequel in quotes because they are actually stand alone stories. Melody Box will have a few minor references to Lunar Legend, but for the most part they could be read separately. There might be another story, but I haven't thought of one yet.  ;)

The cow goes shazoo!

In all seriousness, I've yet to reach the point of adding many sound words into anything I've written. This site should help though. Written Sound Dictionary.

I have a few sites like that already bookmarked. My problem is deciding when they are needed in the panels.
