I try to write the best I can. Feel free to leave me a comment (I prefer positive ones but any feedback is better than none at all). I appreciate stories that are well written and skillfully executed.

    I was not expecting this but it is AWESOME

    Well ladies and gentlemen, the real life person that Captain Joyner is based off of is reading the story! I would be hard pressed to say how delighted I am at this development.

    New chapter is out.

    Delays and sh!t. I'm moving to Colorado Springs in February of 2023. Pop's memory is down to 7-10 minutes before it resets.

    Emotionless dialogue?

    A Russian reader (who I apparently upset quite a lot), left a comment about the character dialogues being dry and emotionless. I don't know if he was being serious or if he was just flaming me in the comment, but has anyone felt the dialogue in the T.U.P. series is dry or emotionless in any way? Please leave serious comments.

    New Chapter

    Well...




    I did it. I had to have some help to publish this one. It hurt to write and even more so to reread and edit. Many thanks to my editor and friend

I didn’t feel the last chapter had a lack of emotional dialogue. In all honesty you did an excellent job.

5629301 I meant overall, like through the course of the entire story. Normally I wouldn't be too worried about a criticism, but this one seemed earnest so I am giving it due consideration.

I’d have to revisit some of the older chapters, but it may be a translation tone error? Mostly, I feel, for the English readers I’d say you have given enough emotional integration, but that also depends on the reader’s individual ability to utilize both imagination and empathy at the same time. At least that’s how I see it when I read, take the situation and combine it with what I see in my mind and my feelings at the time of reading. I’ll admit I was in tears many times during readings.

Then no. There is no feeling of emotionless dialogue. In fact I can feel an awful lot of emotion, more recently rage against these more militant humans. You’re writing and conveying emotion. I feel this recent commenter is likely a flamer.

I don’t feel the dialogue was emotionless at all. I’d say to keep up the good work at the pace you need to.

Personally I think you have been dojng amazing. I love your work!

As native russian i can say that dialogues are just fine.
