Shattering Shadows [MxMxM]

-Temporary Authors Note; Readers Help Needed!-

(No, I'm sorry. This is not a chapter update. *Cries in the corner.*  You will have that tomorrow! ^,^)

As I was trying to get a vision on how this story would continue, I decided to reread the chapters I have published so far, and all I can say is that I am not very happy.

I stated at the start of this book in 'Authors Note', this is my first time really writing a story. I had a plan of how this would all pan out, and I still do, but as I wrote each chapter, things changed, my view and understanding of each character changed, and so on. Yes, I did try to plan everything before I started. Character sheets were made, timelines, and chapter summaries, but this is the first book I've gotten this far in and I soon realised that that method just didn't work for me.

While I was rereading everything, I got annoyed on how some scenes were set, how some characters were portrayed, and how they developed throughout so far.

Of course, I will continue and finish this story, that is a promise. But I am so determined to edit the F- out of it. And once I finish the story I will be doing just that.

And in doing so, I would love to get some feedback from you lovely bunch on the story so far! At the end of this book, I will have another authors note similar to this one for feedback on the chapters yet to come, so this is just about what you have read up to this point and not what you expect to see in the future. When the story is being edited, I will remove these Author Notes so it doesn't confuse future readers. ^_^

I know, as a reader myself, you probably forget some of what happened in this story so far, but any feedback would be appreciated if possible!

So, some questions that may help...

- What do you think about Jameson and his development so far?

- What do you think about Revon and his development so far?

- Do you think that the relationship between Jameson and Revon was somehow rushed/ was it realistic? (This is in relation to their characters personality).

- Do you think there should be more development on the third partner being introduced?

- What are your thoughts on Stefan and Ellis? (I know some are already guessing that is is one of the two!)

- What are your views on the other characters (Stefan, Summer, Rodney, Ignacio, Ledger, Lewis, etc.)? Should they be included more?

- Are there any parts that didn't seem relevant? (FYI, some parts such as Rodneys scenes with this shop issues are mentioned due to the fact I plan on writing another story based on him and wanted a link between the two stories).

- What are your overall thoughts on thoughts on this story?

- Do you find the writing style ok?

- What are your views on the overall development of the story?

- Any other comments? ^,^

It's a lot to ask of you all but I would love the feedback as all of your thoughts and opinions are important to me! I wouldn't have the mind to get each chapter up if it wasn't for everyone that has taken their time to join this journey! xx

Side Note:

As I write each chapter from here on out, not much will change in my methods, as each time I write, new ideas are formed and I get a much better understanding of the plot and of the characters. I also know that my updating schedule is all over the place, but I never realised how difficult it would be to write a poly relationship. And the stage in which Shattering Shadows is at is where the dynamic of Revon and Jameson's relationship will start to change. This is pure fiction, yes. But I don't want them to jump into a three-way relationship as though it is the 'norm', I want it to be in some way realistic.

Revon has a pretty dark and upsetting past that has left many scars. Jameson is reserved with possible abandonment issues (I don't think this was made very clear but it will in the edited version). So having them both grow as individuals and as a couple, while also bringing in another man to the mix is going to be difficult.

But I want this story to be perfect for you, my readers, and for myself. So I don't want to rush chapters just for the sake of updating. Yes, I will be editing a lot but I am aiming for the general storyline and plot to be solid.

Anyway! Thank you, everyone, for reading, voting, and commenting. I know I don't comment back to everyone but I am here, I see you and I appreciate you so much! And I hope to start replying more! Always feel awkward replying but that's just the joys of anxiety, regardless of being behind a keyboard or not!

Much much love,
Rebsy xo
