Good morning, edwayans, and thank you for your time reviewing this morning. I was wondering, however, what was wrong with the chapter or what corrections needed to be made?? All you did was copy a portion of my list of characters... According to FanStory's rating system (see below - you can find it on the site, here), Four stars indicates that adjustments need to be made to the work. Could you please indicate what adjustments you feel are necessary for improvement on this one? Four stars without any comment whatsoever on content with NO corrections/suggestions for improvement does not seem to fit with the spirit or even the letter of the system...
Six Stars (Exceptional: Simply Outstanding)
Five Stars (Excellent: Enjoyable and no revisions needed)
Four Stars (Good: Adjustments needed)
Three Stars (Below average)
Two Stars (Below Average: Needs lots of work)
I look forward to reading your work and thank you for your consideration, Yvette

This is a strong chapter. You do a wonderful job of mixing in dialogue - both internal and external - to move the story along. The story was fun and enjoyable and this easily held my interest. Great job.
