With respect Liana, I want this work to be noticed, I also have some readers who would like to know when the next chapter is added. As they are new chapters the title of the thread would not indicate this, and therefore those who are reading it wouldn’t know if the thread was at the top because I had added a chapter or because someone had added an additional comment. I am sorry if this irritates you or others, that is really not my intention. However I will try and bunch them together a bit more, edit 2 or 3 before posting.
On reading the code of conduct on this forum, I believe I am not in contravention, as new chapters are not ‘repetitive’ postings. However, I am stubborn but not belligerent and if others agree with you or if the editors clarify ‘repetitive posting’ as new chapters added to a novel, then I will of course discontinue, and use a previous thread.
I haven’t come on here to create conflict, but I have come on here to get feedback on my novel, and to provide feedback to others.
Thank you for raising this point, I will be interested to know whether others share your view.

I'm sorry Juliet but I have to take pesky's side. I put up some of my work in forums and they tore my head off. I know you mean well but you just have to wait for others to comment on yours. I know that can be hard, I have my favorite story up but no one reviewed it. Sometimes that's just what happens. Good luck in your writing Juliet.

Juliet, Pesky certainly doesn’t speak for everyone on this site, nor does she try to, but more often than not her voice represents a fairly sound consensus and in this case, I’m inclined to agree with her.
Also, instead of asking who would like feedback, simple pick a piece that you love (or hate) and tell us why.
And by the way, I’m reading your novel and very much enjoying it…
ty guys for your comments, this is obviously not a new issue, but i am new to this site, and therefore not aware of the unwritten code of conduct.
So for all those still reading Xy, new chapters will be flagged under the Chapter 7 thread.
And i shamefully admit to trying to promote my novel :)
Juliet
Anyway I agree that your novel is well written. My motto is If it can appeal to a fourteen year old american kid, and not be about violence or war, you got yourself a winner. Keep it up.

Mike, that is a real compliment, ty

p.s. all these posts have done wonders for keeping it at the top of the list, what is it they say about bad publicity!!
sorry, sorry before you all come down on me for hogging the forum, I just couldnt resist :) :)
On topic -- this is a really cool chapter, and I'm one of the people waiting for more.
From the male viewpoint, I can certainly see a lot of irony building up. The constant digs at my gender make me squirm a bit, but the subtext reassures me: human nature is pretty crappy regardless of gender, and there is always someone in society that attempts to dominate you.
Although domination may be an attribute displayed more often by men than by woman, it's part of us all regardless of our gender. I think that's Juliet's point (although I'll be able to tell better as the story develops).
The world of "Vision" is an attempt to take dubious corrective action against nature. I can see a parallel between the story and the USA / UK invasion of Iraq. (Not such a stretch: we know from Chapter 4 that Anna was born on September 11th!)
