Hey ACertainPassingUser,
I'm still pretty new around these parts but thought I'd share my own story. I am working with a freelance editor to polish my work before I post it so you shouldn't encounter any noteworthy issues. I've adjusted some things after editing to maintain continuity across the story but even that shouldn't cause distractions.
I began posting the story a day after you posted this request (Oct 19) and in just over 2 weeks, I've gotten 20 readers and 14 favorites!
I have no reference for whether or not these stats are great compared to other Scribblehub works, but I feel like that's a great start. That being said, I still have space available for a 21st reader and beyond
I don't know what flavor of reading that you're aiming for, but my story,
Redux Riding Hood, uses the old children's story as an initial framework. The story is largely an action/adventure but there are elements of horror and soft-scifi as well.
From the very first scene of Wolf preparing for Red's arrival, you are immediately shown that this is to be a darker tale as Wolf is trying to hide the remains of Red's grandmother. You meet Red in the next scene where you and Wolf have your expectations upended, diverting from the children's story. Red gets informed of an increasing threat, so she drops the guise, brandishes weapons, then storms out to fight her way through...zombies.
Red/Sarah is blunt and determined, wielding an arsenal as well as an attitude. If you are interested in following an antihero, female lead with a personal stake in a character driven plot...maybe
Redux Riding Hood will be worth your time.
Happy reading,
JT
