Plus it's very hard to provide feedback in this arena on something so large. If you want your story critiqued you'd be best asking for a beta reader or two. Or you could post the story in chunks and let readers deal with a bit at a time.

There are no conventions, other than the ones you want to break, and that's why it's so exciting." ~ Lani Tupu

Usually you would send the whole story to the person by email, or else print it off for the person. Trish was one of the beta readers for my Thorne's Quest series, as you may recall. . . . . . . . .
