Note

Note: This is on temporary hiatus. It will be updated when I have the time later on. The reasons for this was discussed in my blog (entry title "College and Comics").

Introduction

Glass Wishes was my November novel for 2008, written for National Novel Writing Month. It's going through the re-writing process, and as each chapter is edited and improved it will be posted here.

A Note from the Author: The quotes used at the beginning of the chapters (minus the prologue, interludes, and epilogue) are all taken from despair.com. Everything else in the story is entirely original.

A Second Note from the Author: The first two chapters I asked my friend to edit, and I want to give her credit for them. I don't however, want to publish her name all over the web, so just know I had an editor. Unfortunately, due to conflicting time schedules those will be the only two chapters with an editor. If you see any problems or errors with the chapters hereafter, feel free to send me an e-mail ( nataka.studio@gmail.com ) and point them out. Thanks.

Summary

The empire of Burmexia is weak, with its leader taken ill and dying. The throne is most likely going to a young duke who is winning the political struggle for power. Throughout the empire's history, Tournaments have been held to find the most competent fighters to defend the nation. During the crisis, a Tournament is announced to chose the next Royal Guard, the victors whom will be the most elite of all Players, earning ranks almost as powerful as kings themselves. People from all over the world come to compete forming groups with other Players. Vivace, a gnome from a small town who is new to the Tournaments, is one of these adventurers, and with a group of misfits joins the quest.
