Oh yeah they're really fun, I think I've played one in.....4 different campaigns? Glad you're enjoying the story so far

hopefully what I decided on isn't too far from canon

Well, you are technically the Dungeon Master here, so it isn't too much of an issue to just say "it's my version of how it works".

And from the story its self, it is interesting that it happened when Ignis was attempting to scribe Shadow Blade into his spell book.

Also, if the conversation between Ignis and Tala was when Ignis was 30 and he lived in the Forgotten Realms, then if you want to be as close to canon culture as possible Ignis should have had a different name.

This is because elves are given "child names" and they choose a new one that fits them when they consider themselves an adult (which is usually some time after their 100th birthday) and before that happens they are considered a child.

It is nice to see that Ignis is regaining memories though. Looking forward to the politics

Oh shit so that means I can change his name in the present! He went comatose in his 80s O:

Ah, so that makes some sense. Ignis Ferum is his child name, and some time during this story he figures that out and gets to pick himself a slightly more creative name than just latin for "Fire Iron". (I remember he did sort of bemoan the lack of creativity in the name at some point)

Eh not really selecting words, e and r are right next to each other so it was just a fat finger

I do usually go through and pick out all the red and blue underlines but like you said if the fat finger ends up making a normal word then I got no underline to fix

The other downside is that writing a chapter is the last thing I do before sleeping, typically in bed on my laptop, from chapter start to publish on fimfic is usually 1-4 hours depending on how distracted I get from YouTube videos, but this means I'm tired and typically do have more errors when tired.

Punctuation is definitely my weakest point though. I've been creating stories for a while, but not through writing. I personally feel like I use too many commas and end sentences too early, but I'm just trusting Google docs when it tells me to put a , or . in there.

All that being said, Im fairly content with the way things are ATM. It's far from being the worst in terms of grammar or readability, but I will make an effort to go slower when I'm skimming through the chapter before hitting publish.

Appreciate all the comments on every chapter though, always fun watching someone's reaction live as they go through the story

Judging by that last memory, it looks like he had a heart attack.

Ayy you're all caught up, thanks for the feedback and comments

I only just realized that you were replying to my comments. I was reading a chapter, leaving a comment if I had something to say, and then moving on.
Although there are occasional mistakes in every chapter it's not too distracting (it just makes me stumble a bit while reading). I've seen FAR WORSE fics on here over the years, and the core of it is still enjoyable.
