Heya, sorry I haven’t been responding (been traveling) but I am enjoying the story so far. You’ve done a fine job writing a lot of exposition with brevity of words. Love it! Will be sure to give more in depth reviews soon. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Very sweet and satisfying chapter (wish I could go into greater detail, but don't wanna spoil). To be honest, I wouldn't have minded a bit more description in this one, especially the glove related material, but I know this story is an exercise on brevity of descriptions and the story is still well conveyed. Looking forward to see where it goes from here!

It is true that this story is not purely a glove fetish story like others I have written before, or let's put it this way, "not just glove pornography". However, since gloves are so important in Rose's life, they will continue to play a central role in the story, so I hope there's still a reason for the members of this forum to continue reading. To me, one of the main points of this story was exploring how it would feel to go to another time era against your will and having to learn so much from scratch. The contrast between the past and the present is central.

Also, although this story is shorter than what I've written before, I've put a massive effort into it because I tried to squeeze some major character development into as few words as possible. A big difference here is that I chose not to publish before having finished the whole thing. That way, I was able to do better structural planning and to cut lots of redundancy in the second and third passes. (And let me tell you, sometimes you write a lot more than you need because you're exploring backstory or just all your possibilities, but afterwards, when you know where everything is heading, it can be VERY satisfying to remove all the excess text.) I couldn't do that with Family Business, and in retrospective, I could have told the same story with half the words. Although a lot of people liked Family Business a lot, many didn't even start reading it just because it was too long. At 116k words, it's as long as a major novel, and people were not willing to invest that kind of time in a "fetish story". For comparison, this is the length of the Harry-Potter novels:

Philosopher's Stone: 77k
Chamber of Secrets: 85k
Prisoner of Azkaban: 107k
Goblet of Fire: 190k
Order of the Phoenix: 257k
Half-Blood Prince: 169k
Deathly Hallows: 198k

(Although I don't necessarily agree, many people think that Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows could have been a lot shorter.)

Glitch is 28k. Sounds like little, but that's already half a Philosopher's Stone. (Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea is only 21k!)

I definitely like the different style to this one, that’s not to say however that I don’t like the others, but it works for me

Its not that Order of the Phoenix was over long, for me it was that Harry was obnoxious throughout the whole book and being the main character that is an issue.

But then I am fine reading doorstoppers from GRR Martin and Robert Jordan so perhaps I'm not the norm.
