That would be awesome. Maybe just the opening chapters, though that will still probably be awhile. I'm still trying to finish off the chapter 1 remix. Hopefully, things will start moving faster after that as I'll start to actually copy and paste parts from the first draft that just need tweaking instead of replacing.

Oh, and Gudanov, when you are ready for beta readers, consider me volunteered. i can't offer any kind of expertise in the way of feedback, but I have read a fair amount of fantasy and tend to have opinions.

Marking it down for that magic day when I have enough revision done. Thanks!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I am volunteering. You're writing in my happy genre, and I read like the wind, so lots of pages is not a problem.
Anyway, you should ask when you need it. We'll feel free to tell you no! Hee.

The revised chapter 1 is done. The first revision of it anyways. I still have at least one more run though it for more detailed corrections. I've decided to get the story changes down before running through and fixing the punctuation, checking the grammar, and punching up the language. The first few and last few chapters will probably get revisited the most.
I just scratched the surface of two last night. I'm hoping to make some more serious progress tonight. After that, will come a brand spanking new chapter that wasn't in the rough draft.
