To Bill H.

first of all let me thank you for reading my stories and express my gratitude for taking the time to write a comment
Every comment and reply from a reader, I treasure very much for comments like yours helped me to grow as a writer over the years and improve my skills.
But no comment I have received so far made me feel as proud as when I read yours.
While I would not dare to compare my writing with one of my all time favorite authors; if you see similarities of my stories to the writing of Robert A. Heinlein then I must be on the right track of becoming a real author.

It is your fault that I was unable to leave my writer's den today as I felt 10 feet tall and would not fit through the door...;-)

thank you very much!!!!

To the Stars

Truly yours

Vanessa Ravencroft

To Benny - Story: NILFEHEIM

[ New Review ] for NILFEHEIM
 
Vanessa Ravencroft,

A new review has been posted to your story.

Story: NILFEHEIM
Chapter: 8. Lunch

From: Guest

:Sorry, I read and write for enjoyment. the originial story seemed to follow
eric's liffe growing up and following the traditions of his world. this story
just seems to try to explain why he wanted to leave his life as he knew it.
the character development seems to rely on the reader having red the other
version first. together this version is okay, but to me the originial version
is a better stand alone story and is broader in it's scope. Thanks for
opportunity to read both. Benny ()

Hi Benny
 
I hope you find my Blog and read your answer; my reply to your message.
First of all thank you for reading and taking the time to write and letting me know what you think. No comment of you, my dear readers falls on deaf ears. No  suggestion without merit and no critique without helping me improve both my stories and my writing.
With that said, let me respond to your post: The Old story will not disappear, I will incorporate it and all its elements in the Rewrite, but there are plot holes, timing problems and other inconsistencies I need to fix before I move on to tell new stories.
Give it a chance and read the chapters to come and if you don't like it at all , the previous versions are all archived on my Wiki and can be read there.
With this I invite you to comment and participate  at any time you like.
Yours truly
Vanessa Ravencroft

The First Chapters of Nilfeheim are posted:
http://www.fictionpress.com/s/3087870/1/NILFEHEIM

NILFEHEIM

This is the begin of a compete rewrite of Eric Olafsons Saga.
It is intended to be the final content adding/ changing re-write and fix a series of Plot Holes, such as the Time lines of wars, Immortals, events that happened before. Explaining why Eric actually wants to be a Star Ship Captain, fixing the Longnight / Short Summer intervals . Changing some dates such as when Eric goes to the Academy and when he starts his Tigershark adventures...and finally when he becomes the Dark One. I am going to clean up the “Interludes” tighten this and that, fixing names ..make them consistent and while I am at it , there will be several reposting after my friends who offered to proof read after this but as I mentioned this is the last rewrite in terms of content.
The basic story is the same but I added stuff and the Eric Saga will expand a little in terms of volume,
So I keep the Old Versions up but after I completed the Rewrite they will be removed and posted under the “Old Story Versions “category of the GalNet Wiki.

So I hope you enjoy this new version.
I will furthermore change the Numbering scheme of the GC Universe Books. (Do away with I actually) But for those of my readers who are used to it it would be GC IV.
It is entitled : NILFEHEIM

It is the 51st Century. Earth is now known as Terra and part of a Union of a gigantic Union of space faring civilizations. Many worlds are colonized. This is the story of Eric Olafson, a Neo Viking growing up on a harsh cold planet. With rigid rules, a cruel father and a Cosmic secret that manifests itself in Eric.
