How in the world...
...did I get fans for Spirit of Fire to keep reading past the first couple of chapters?
Seriously.
The writing sucks. I've been doing a little proofreading before uploading chapters to Dejana's archive, and I'm just amazed that people actually decided to keep reading after getting through Ch. 1. Personally, if I had come across that fic as a reader, I probably would have stopped reading right after the first scene with Saburo, Takara, and Miyuki. (The prologue doesn't count because that was written later, when my writing for the story had improved.)
Oh, well. I guess people liked the idea well enough that they were willing to trudge through it.
At least the later chapters are somewhat better written. ^_^

Beginnings tend to be slow, fact of fiction.

My guess? Plot and characters. :P Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the writing for the first couple of chapters just isn't as good as it could have been. *sigh*
