Hello everyone!
I don't think your should modify your story just to make it "more sci-fi." Science fiction and fantasy are very broad categories, and I think your original premise fits.
Thanks! It's a very exciting setting. Part Tom Sawyer, part Cthulhu, Maybe a smidgen of Harry Potter? I hope you like it, whether it wins or not.
uploaded the first chapter.
My friends!
Thank you all for your support in just the few hours I've been a part of INKSHARES. I'm still getting my quill wet, so to speak, but I have uploaded my first chapter for your perusal. Any feedback is most welcome!
This is a fantastic story idea! Can't wait to read it. Best of luck in the Nerdist contest :)
