Thank you for this excellent feedback fungusmonk. I will give some thought to adjusting the style of dialogue. My only fear is that I'll not be able to cope with the additional volume of writing that may be required. It would almost certainly improve the ability of people to connect with the characters.
@gabosh has made a lovely illustration of a Ziff. Perhaps I could look into formalising something? maybe put up an SD reward for specific illustrations? I'll give it some thought.
I don't think it would add too much inherently, just open up your options. Could you link me to that illustration? I'd love to see it.
Sure, it's in the comments section of post 7.
Awesome, thanks!
