I'm curreently working on illustrating this story, and would like your opinions on if I should add more illustrations to it or if it would be better with just one illustration.

Is there a limit size on enlarging an illustration? Trying to make the featured illustrations bigger, and not having much luck.
Good point. I'll probably go with just two. I made a whole bunch of these weathered newspaper clipping/collage style illustrations just out of the spur of the moment, and now it's cluttering up the livingroom.
So it could work with this story then?
Hi, not sure if my blog got posted up. Not sure if it's a browser problem or internet traffic jam.
Thank you for critiquing. There will probably be some more profile studies of various OC in the coming weeks. I’m also trying to work this story into a graphic novel form.
Thank you William See for the informative link.
I have an upcoming story that seem to be riddled with these things. Should I just go ahead and post it anyway?
I'm working on a sequel story. Part one already up. Feel free to narrate.

How do I fix my story title in Index so it will have the Unreviewed notice on it?

Yes, please do, William See. Whenever you find it convenient to do a review. There's more going to be added to this story later.

What happens if a story doesn't receive any reviews for a while, do you still have to wait until it gets reviewed before you could submit it to the main wiki or can you go ahead and upload it?
Oh, okay. My story's long, but not as long as the roughly 100k kilobyte one you just mentioned. It's in three parts, the first one's already up>

Hi, I was wondering if I uploaded this story draft correctly? I'm still getting used to the new design format, and maybe I deleted some edit file link when I uploaded because I don't see a comment section.

I'm hoping to get the third draft done before October.

Okay, I'm reworking the first part right now where not only the cats start acting weird, but the rats too. I'm not sure if I'll add the part where the main character finds a dead rat king behind her bookshelf.

Just exaggerate the "scariness" of the whole situation in a way that doesn't come off as all over the place and more comedic than scary or at least "darkly" gripping. Make sure you make the thing in the garden seem like the scariest thing, elaborate on the emotions of fear and dread. Have the cat be irate and distressed, even in an unrelated manner. Cat got pissed at something and is acting like all hell broke loose, have the protagonist correlate the two occurances and drive themselves deeper into their self induced panic. Etc. You can always tie in folk tale elements (ghosts, spirits, demons, whatever).
As for other issues, there's a stylistic thing where you over-did the feline "lines" and the stylization of the ellipsis which is mildy annoying. (. . .) ugh.
Cut out the filler stuff, ei, reduce the random talks with the cat about things. The notion is, if it doesn't serve any purpose in the plot - it should be omitted.
Okay, should the mention of the two other characters in the beginning be eliminated altogether?
