I updated the cover for "Unknown Songs". It's the same story, just a different cover that I felt reflected more the idea of the story.

I wanted to let you know how great your story 'Unknown songs' is. It must be one of the most complex stories I've read so far and I can't imagine how much you must know or must have looked up to be able to write this. There are so many different things you connect, and then the plot twist with his name ... (Not that I complain, because I like Poe. Last year I wrote a huge literary essay about him and some of his poems.) Apart from a few typos, the storyline, the suspense, the characters, the dialogue, the clues, the style, ... are all marvellous. I'm sure I don't even understand all the clues and jokes, although I have quite a good general knowledge, but I'm not a native speaker, so ... (Could you please explain the link between the Old English words and his name, because I don't get how 'ead' led them to 'Edgar Allan Poe'.)
          I just have one remark. I hate splitting stories for the sake of splitting, but in this case I would recommend it. There are possibilities and it took me more than two hours to read it and that's a bit long for a story in one part, especially on Wattpad.

            Prosperity (Rich) + Spear (well... Spear!). I took the liberty of calling him Richspear instead of Happyspear or Prosperityspear because those two didn't sound so good in my head. :))
            Also, sorry for my late reply. And fun fact: I am not a native English speaker either. ;)

@lullabells Thank you! This was surprising to say the least, I guess I always hoped for it, but didn't set my hopes high. I'm glad I got there and can't wait for mid-September, to see if I can get further.
            Nevertheless, I think it's a great achievement! Just made my day!
