Early Access: STORMWEAVER 3 - CHAPTER 1 [ROUGH] [NEW]
🕑 Added 2023-12-22 13:08:39 +0000 UTCHey guys! Just a quick drop today with a new Chapter 1 to the book. This is a short insert chapter I wanted between the Prologue and the old Chapter 1 that I think adds a good amount to the world/story/early-book situation. Hope you like it!
Chapter 5 (after renumbering) and our first "The Story So Far" coming next week!
*********
A few rules & reminders:
- Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer.
- Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.
- On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you! If you want to voice concerns or complaints about the chapter, you may now do so over on the Reddit discussion thread below! Notifications are turned off on those conversations, so they're a free-for-all now (within the rules of the subreddit, obviously)!

Rei already has PTSD. Remember when he started tweaking when talking with carmen?

Ok so I’ve read the whole thing and alllll I got to say @bryce is HOT DAMN🫦

Now THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR… I haven’t even finished reading it fully and just had to post!!! Booooommmm!!!

I think she took an early interest in him because Kes and The Mind have given her the assignment of helping him advance to be humanity's last hope.

Fantastic chapter! I just hope Maddie doesn’t stay over often. I can only imagine what an S ranked (or close to it) strength spec in a nightmare flashback reaction could do to a baseline human. I’m fortunate, I came back from all three of my combat tours (mostly) well adjusted and now (thankfully) completely. Several of my buddies suffer from traumatic PTSD and have nearly hurt their spouse due to night terrors where they woke up “fighting”. Have a great Christmas (or holiday) week!

Strong viewpoint in just a few pages. Hope you and yours have a great holidays.

Gives more weight to her dismissal of Reese and telling him he’s clueless about the war.

This series is amazing, this chapter made me want to re-read the whole thing...again.

Fixed!

What is with all these amazing emotional chapters?!?!?!? Every chapter for this book so far has been absolutely fantastic.

Oh wow! Ask and you shall receive...haha. I was just asking if there had been discussion on Dent. Her backstop is sure to be mind-blowing. She sees herself in Rei, doesn't she. She took an early interest in him to possibly prevent what happened to her from happening to him and his team, I believe. Can't wait for this to unfold. My mind is racing right now. I am so friggin' STOKED by this chapter... 😱 okay, gotta go back to the first to books to make sure I didn't miss anything. Cheers mates!

Loved it!!! Fantastic chapter, it makes Dent feel so much more real seeing how past events still impact her, plus it also puts into perspective how she can hold it together during the day and all she has told the students about the war.

So good! I love the fact that even an S ranked user one of the strongest users in the Galaxy can be brought low by fear.

Oh man I adore this. I've wanted more of a look behind the curtain for Dent for a while, heck yes!!!!
Heather Herren
Great chapter!! Thank you!!
Iron Akela
Great chapter. Does a lot to humanise Dent, and to show us her PTSD. And that the attack at sectionals impacted her too

I was expecting her to have horrible PTSD with what we have learned about her so far. It’s also a fear I have for Firesong, that some time in the future, they will lose a member of their squad in battle against the archons. Great chapter to add to the story!
Angela McWilliams
Me too. Almost forgot that she too had her own trauma.
Dell
Great chapter. Shows ptsd very well and gives us a glimpse into what happened to her.
Gama
Okay the last 2 paragraphs just gave me goosebumps all over!
