《The Line-Drive》author's thoughts
Advertisement
I hope you're not mad at my supe cliché ending.
This is the first story I've ever written like this.
I wish I'd included a bit more "friend" stuff. Specifically, dynamics between Mackenzie, Hannah, and Kate. (Sorry that Penny basically fell off the map.)
Unfortunately, I think this a bit of a reflection of my first long-term relationship, where I became too focused on my significant other, and not focused enough on my friends.
Eventually I'd like to go back and edit this story and add a bit more of a newspaper element. I don't know; if people have thoughts on that I'd love to hear them. I think I could definitely make this a lot better, but I also think that I need a break from Dane and Mack, even though I love them dearly.
I'm working on another college romance story*, and I'm hoping that I can focus more on friendships in that one. I'm always aiming for improvement, to be better than yesterday, and to learn from my mistakes and shortcomings. I'm glad to read any feedback that anyone has.
Please feel free to comment anything that you'd like to see in that one, formatting or otherwise. For example, real chapter titles, chapter titles that include whose perspective it's from, more of X, less of Y, etc.
Also, this feels like a weird request, but I'd love if y'all could follow me so that I can interact with you more. I'd love to get feedback and ideas about what you'd like to see next.
Thank you for reading The Line-Drive. I appreciate each and every one of you.

The Lurking Lair - An Adventurer Series Short Story
Charlie had never felt comfortable in their own skin. Enduring the taunts and teasing that echoed from their youth had become all too commonplace. Most adults don't think twice about staring at someone who looks different. They may not speak the insults, but they are felt just the same. This book is a prequel to Adventurer, it is independent and stand alone, but it does contain spoilers that will give away world elements of that work. Spoiler: Nextlife offered the ultimate solution to Charlie's problems. Not only were they able to participate in the development of whole new worlds, they could find the perfect one. A world where Charlie could become the ultimate expression of their desires, dreams, and aspirations. After all, a dungeon isn't confined by the constraints of human interpretation. Join Charlie as they dive headfirst into the world of Elysium! Authors Note: I understand that gender discussions are not for everyone. If gender fluid concerns are an issue for you please consider not reading this story as it may upset you. If you can withhold your judgement, it is not a heavy topic of the narrative, but it is the MC's motivation to become what they become. I hope that this note helps folks.
