There were a few grammatical glitches, but I liked the tone of the article (for example, how the columnist, with fascination and confusion, viewed flight as a new technology).

Nice work, DD.

I hope so as well. It's very exciting to think that because the IoS has never been explored in the KQ games, PO can totally make the island from scratch. I'm super-excited to see what they've come up with.

Thanks everyone! It was a blast to write for FW, and I'm looking forward to writing some more! Speaking of which, I should get started on those other articles... As well as my research papers... My writing is better now than it was when I was younger (looking back, I kind of cringe lol XD). I think the more I write for the FW, the better my writing will be! I totally intend to keep writing, so look out for more articles by me!

I don't mind if PO makes the island from scratch but I'm a classical history buff and I'd prefer they kept to the slightly exaggerated Greco-Roman theme.

PS I wonder how many people caught the nod to the Montgolfier brothers?
