I understand where you are coming from. You want to make certain everyone can read with ease. Just wanted to make one point. Remember that "Gone With the Wind" has been read by millions including me when I was pretty young. The story was engaging enough to capture the audience despite the accurate diction. The book sold millions. Sometimes when you have to slow down to read something it is a good thing. You get greater detail. Again JMO. I think you are off to a great start.

Author's Response: I remember having to read "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" when I was around 11 and eventually (after I reread it a few times) I understood what Huck and the others were saying. I've decided to remove the translations from the story. Because of the domain switch, some of the updates were removed, so I''ll have to repost the first chapter. Thanks.

This is for both chapters. I had reviewed after he second one bit it was eaten so her goes again.

I am enjoying this very much. I love to write and read historically acurate pieces, especialy those that don't pull the punches.on how the past truly was. My only thought is that your translations are truly not needed and are somewhat distracting. They interupt the flow of the verse. Personally I can sus out the meaning of the southern speak without the added modern dialect. End note and AN's can be great to add a bit of info like the use of the term stripe and such, or delve into a bit of history that explains something, but I think it would read more fluid if you left out the translation bits. JMO. Otherwise, I am intrigued. Good setting, strong characters, raw emotion. All in all a good drama starting to unfold. It is clear you have done your homework.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Pari is doing some relocation so stuff will go missing. I too love reading and writing historically accurate pieces. I did a great deal of research for this story...Giles would be proud! I've been debating with myself about the translations - some will understand southern speak, some won't. Maybe I'll just relocate them or remove them altogether. I'm glad that you're intrigued by the characters and the raw emotion. This is my first true foray into angst and I want it to be good. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I love your fics and am honoured that you took the time to read and review my fic. I hope you'll stay with me.

I'm a bit weary because of the Character Death warning but I enjoyed the start.

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you'll continue to read the rest.
