Chapter 9
Sort of rushed this one as it was getting late

Interesting premise, but it reads kind of like a summery rather than its own thing.

I know. It was late when I wrote so I rushed it.

Any pointers for improvement that you have I welcome.

Sure! It’s something I struggled with at first too, so I’m only happy to tell you and whoever else might need advice whatever I can.
The biggest thing you can do to help pad your stories out is to be descriptive! Follow the classic writing process everyone learns in school: outline, draft, finish. Outline the story, come up with all of your big plot points. Then play it out in your head and describe what you saw on page. That will produce your draft. Finally, check over that draft for grammar and consistency. There’s your finished product.
Of course, this won’t cover things like making compelling characters or making seductively appealing sex scenes. That’s far beyond the scope of my abilities! But hopefully, that’s a good starting point. It sounds elementary, and most people think it’s beneath them. I thought it was beneath me at first, too. When you buckle down and actually do it, though, the improvement will show itself in spades in your work.

Thanks for the pointers I can't promise I'll improve over night, but you definitely given me something to work on.
