I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It was well written, obviously proof read, and it tied in with the film almost perfectly (the "almost" is nit-picking).
I would think there will be a second HTTYD, so when that is out I shall look to see what you write about it! :-p

Thanks, again, for your lovely comments. I had a blast writing it. Yes, I now see where I did not catch the movie's details perfectly in a few parts. I challenged myself to rely only on what I remembered from viewings of the movie in the theatre. I don't watch unofficial copies of movies- it seems unfair to the creators, so I had to rely on the memories. I did miss some details, though, but so be it- it was fun to see how much I could remember. And fun to read again some of my favorite Heinlein stories to get the language down right.

Yes, there will be a HTTYD cartoon TV series in 2012 and the sequel in 2013. (And Dreamworks had better not mess it up, either- this movie was closer to some of their original, very creative and beautifully animated hand drawn movies before they got into the Shrek toilet humor) I am actually working on other stories for this Heinlein HTTYDverse, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks, again, senor the Ape!

No worries! I have been reading "Riders pledge" for a while now, and each time I see it I thought "oo - a new one".
Thank you for writing it. When I have a little more time, I'll go through the rest of your stories.

I do. Your dragon stories are amasing! I have literally spent the last 8 hours reading all of them! Keep writing or this British dragon will come and force you to write some more at claw point (though from your stories so far I suspect this would be dangerous...).

Your Myanmor main series was what caught my eye. I always like dragons and the transformation of a human into one. Also having a story where the dragons aren't "holier than thou" and all that stuff that a lot of writers throw in. I am looking forward to seeing where you take it. You obviously have a strong Christian upbringing, and you aren't afraid to use that in your story elements - makes it a lot more believable!
There are a few spelling mistakes on it though - nothing that word shouldn’t pick up if you have it and use the manual spell checker to double check yourself.
Good story - I am looking forward to reading more of it!

I am enjoying it. The fav was as far as I got last night, so will now continue! It is an interesting story. I will be honest and say that I don't like MxM stories much, but this one has a good storyline and interesting charecters - they are good enough for me to carry on reading dispite my own personal preference.

I haven't read beyound chapter 30-something, and you may have already sorted this. I also don't know how well you take others ideas, but i will suggest this anyway:
When you start on a new chapter or perspective in a chapter, could you let us (the readers) know who is the main view point? Something small like: "(Jinx POV)" or "--------Jinx------" between the paragraphs. I find that the story let me know within the first few lines who it was that was speaking, but I found myself getting prepared for Tarot to be saying something only to realise that it was Brad after being a little confused!

Still, that is my only complaint - I shall now read some more. Thank you.

well I will save you a small headache and let you know that I will never write from Tarot's pov... He's actually a character from a side story called Under a Pale Moon by ~SkyeFox so all chapters from his perspective are done by her... The main reason that I always let the readers figure out who's perspective the chapter is from in the first few lines is because I don't like doing the "Jinx POV" thing... to me it detracts as a reader

Ok. We shall agree to disagree - as I said, I prefer some sort of sign of who's eyes I am looking through before I read about them! Still, a good story though. :-p

That sounds cool. I will have a read of it in a min.
And yeah, I quite enjoy reading about werewolves - though its more of the werewhatevers than werewolves in particular. Werewolves do seem to have a better set of writers at the min than alot of others!

No problems. Had a browse through your werewolf story. Read a story a while back that had a similar premise to your one. For the life of me I can't remember where I read it though! If I remember, I may pass on the link.
