Thanks so much for giving me your thoughts! Late is better than never, right?

Hmm.... A longer story? When I wrote the first bit of this story, that's what I was expecting to write, but I was just expecting to make a longer version of what's here now. Do you think I should just add on to what I've written, telling of her adventures beyond Aegean? Somehow, it seems like I'd have to change this somehow; this already seems to me to be a sort of mini-story, with a climax and everything, and I'm not positive how it would turn out if I was to add more onto the end. *scratches head* Of course, I'd also have to come up with what actually happens to her.... I'd never thought beyond the ending before :drool:

Oh, and can I quote you about the wings? I think that's awesome ;)

Well, I just felt like this should be the start rather then the ending, but then again if you can envoke with an ending the feeling of the reader wanting more can be considered a successful ending emotionally. ;) You don't have to do it, it's just how I feel about the story. Others will be pleased with such an ending as well. It's just that I'm a clinical overwriter, always wanting more, so keep that in mind when I give advice about lengthening stories. :sweat: If you feel satisfied with the story than you shouldn't take it in other directions. It was just a suggestion I made; nothing more nothing less.

You can; I doubt I'll ever use it myself.

I just thought I'd say, for the benefit of bigsleepj and Eso, that I won't be resubmitting this story. I thought I would completely revamp it and change it into almost a new story, but when I looked at it again I realized I pretty much like "Labyrinth" the way it is. So...yeah. Just thought I'd tell you that. Thank you once again for all the help you were to me in the initial writing of it! You guys were the best. :hug:
