G'day ladies and gents and firstly thanks for sticking around this long. To be honest I'm writing this several months after completing the first chapter so I can't really give much insight into what was going through my head, other than I was excited to see COSMIC Club up and running again and I wanted a character that wasn't such a beast to write for. Ha, ha, ha. I am proud of this chapter, despite it's purple proseness. There's some lines I really love because there's something so Pratchett about them and they feel utterly at home with either Tribe or Dane. Ahh Tribe, based after my own lecturer and if you're wondering, yes, some of his comments are word for word and yet he's still my utmost favourite lecturer. Like every story, the intro is always the funnest to write, you're bursting with inspiration and mine came shortly after some volunteer work at said sanctuary. Thanks to the staff there, especially to Lisa although the chances of any of them stumbling onto this are slim to nil. *Drools* Oh to be apart of the raptor show! My time there really emphasised a point I learnt at uni and something probably don't realise, most work even if you're high up the hierarchy is just cleaning and food preparation *sigh* Still I'd fight to the death to do it again even if I do plan to go into ecology. What do I dislike about this chapter? As I said, the Purple Prose which is still found in the second chapter but I haven't the heart to change. I also dislike the disjointed feeling between scenes? What do you guys reckon? Is close enough good enough? I also left out some technical difficulties such as quarrentine and laws against wildlife handling to keep the story moving and interesting. Mostly I'm dying to know what you think. I know SM fanfiction isn't a big thing in a fandom focused mostly on art and bios but I really hope I can do something about that... Hmm a fanfiction alliance? Well, that's a thought for another day!
