Ooooooooo, I caught me a big fish this time!!!

Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Renaissance. We value our readers quite a bit, and do what we can to ensure that you guys are happy. I invite you to discuss Renaissance on the public bulliten board. There are usually a few conversations about each episode and the arc as a whole going on there at http://pub10.ezboard.com/ftrektechfrm17.
I am aware of this. I was just bored Last night, and I thought I would ask this particular group of people (as opposed to those on the chat board you mentioned) what they thought of it. I was also curious (as the subject states) if I was the only one on this board that followed your series)

With regard to the arcs, we do have arcs planned. However, we've used the first bunch of episodes of the first season to explore and create expository material about the Renaissance universe. Suffice it to say that all the "standalone" episodes that seem to be a part of the arc will be followed up on.
Dojar is a fairly private person, and as you've noticed, he barely discusses anything with anyone. It's not a surprise that he hasn't followed up on the story with his friends (or lack thereof) considering all that's happened to him (including his getting trapped and almost lost quite a few times).
With regard to the Cross/Elris relationship, we thought long and hard before including it in the Renaissance story. We agreed only to do it if we dealt with the story in a mature and appropriate fashion, and so we've taken many steps to ensure we've done it.
Quinlan was a toughie because of development we've planned for her later this season. When the episode is released, you'll see what I mean, but I assure you, we're not ignoring her or leaving her alone.
Y'lan's development is predictable, but there are things about him you do not yet know that will make his character far more interesting. Talora and Dojar's relationship is "convenient," but there are "convenient" things that happen in real life as well as fiction.
Oh, now don't get me wrong. I wasn't being negative about any of this. I was just stating my opinions about what I'd seen
so far. I am not willing to offer critisisms per say. Why? Because I am not willing to put any of
my creative writing up before the general public for critisism!!!
And unless you are willing to do that, you have no right to critisize other's work. Well, IMHO, anyway.
Overall, I'm not complaining. I don't think that the series is living up to it's full potential; there are a few things that
I think could have and should have been developed a little more thoroughly. But that is just my opinion. I don't know your plans for future episodes; you could very well have already been planning do develop them before I said anything!
On the other hand, I like the series very much; there is a lot of potential in the setting that
is being realized. Y'lan may have been predictable, but it is a good story arc (or the beginning of one) nonetheless. And I am still impressed with how the Cross/Elris relationship is being handled. Major cudos for that one!!!

Please continue to read our episodes. I promise we are leading somewhere.
Oh, have no fear, I shall!
