Hi. You'll get a broader response if you post this message in the Premium forum as well. A lot of potential readers aren't necessarily in the smaller groups.

I just had a look at your story. It's well-written, but huge. I would split it into parts and definitely post in Premium.

Amazon routinely recommends Catholicism for Dummies for me.

A handful of us set up shop in the Medieval group so we can help each other flesh out ideas, or just chat. Each person creates a single running forum thread for their book(s) that the others read and respond to. Simultaneously, we review each other's chapters. Two of us are actually writing science fiction, but since Medieval is where most of my reviewers hang out, that's where I put my thread.

My next book is going to be a supernatural thriller, but the group for that has zero posts in the forum since the site went live, so I'll probably just continue with a thread in Medieval.

Naturally, when it comes time to post chapters, I include them in Premium and Science Fiction as well. I have a couple of long term readers who don't hang out in the forums.

If I need help beyond what our little clique can provide, I ask in the Premium forum.

This is not really how the site/groups were meant to be used, but it's an acceptable workaround.

I can't recall if Disney is going to release The Last Jedi on Netflix or limit it to their own upcoming streaming service. I know future Star Wars films will no longer run on Netflix. Just what I need. Every entertainment company charging $10 a month for streaming. I have enough monthly expenses paying for Wi-Fi, Netflix, and Spotify.

K, is there a service in Canada like Amazon Video that allows you to rent videos for a few days and stream them? I don't mind paying $4 occasionally to see a film that I don't want to own.

Just bought my sixth ($%?&*!) book on Revelation. The first was Protestant and I need a Catholic interpretation. The second gives four major viewpoints for interpreting Revelation, but is too generic (neither entirely Catholic or Protestant). The next two are Catholic, but are incomplete and confusing. Book number five is also Catholic, is beautifully written and researched, but comes at Revelation from a less common point of view (i.e., that most of Revelation was already fulfilled in the 1st century after Christ's death and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Only events surrounding the Second Coming are left to be fulfilled. Unfortunately, many Catholic scholars think this point of view, while not incorrect, isn't mainstream. Finally (last try), I bought another highly rated book that I'm going to read over Christmas. It's no wonder there is mostly Protestant information about Revelation on the internet. Catholics can't agree on a particular interpretation. Anyway, my new novel will be based on either book five or the new one, if it's any good.

Queen Aussie?

I never watched it thinking the Gungans are CGI. I still don't get what's wrong with his accent. Yoda couldn't get his word order right, yet no one complained.

Just read a whole bunch of comments from die-hard Star Wars fans about the new movie. Many despise the film. Yet the critics love it. After reading some of the spoilers, I'm with the fans. Makes me think my sci-fi story is actually pretty good. Nevertheless, I'm going to stick with my original plan not to publish it until after my next story is done. Working title for the new story is Saving Connor. I wanted to call it Rise of the Antichrist, but that title is taken, more than once.

That's quite a vacation. I'm glad you had a nice time.

Thanks, Amy, but I decided to punt on the idea of setting it in the future. Too much effort just to try and justify why the Antichrist is going after the Catholic Church. It's the Mother Church. No greater reason needed. The Omen series totally ignored 95% of Revelation. I can skip a few signs of the Second Coming, especially since no one seems to agree on which are real signs and what they mean.

However, I'm considering including a female detective in the Gendarmerie Corps of Vatican City State who investigates a series of disappearances and murders among priests, bishops, and cardinals in and around Vatican City, which is a sign of the Antichrist at work. How does Detective Amy Ess sound? There're actually only 130 people in the Corps, and, knowing the Catholic Church, they're probably all men, but what the hell. I want at least one major female character in the book. There will also be a possessed reverend mother, but she will probably only appear in one chapter.
