I loved "The Star Shard!" I especially love all continuing stories, because there is more suspense, and you have longer to become attached to the characters. I'd have to say Loric is my favorite character, partially because of his uniqueness and mysterious nature, and because I think he was a very selfless person. I loved the illustrations! I wish I could draw like that....

No! You can't stop "The Star Shard"! Everybuggy will die! It was wonderful, and I've only been able to see 2 episodes! I am looking forward to being able to read all of the inserts, but I won't be able to if you cancel! But I guess I'll have to accept it. I still love everybuggy on the Cricket team....................I guess.

Kimberly, all the past episodes are available on this Web site.

I really didn't like the end of "The Star Shard." It was a bit soppy, if you ask me.

Not really my thing, but Loric is my fav character.

My favorite character was Loric, because he is like an elf, and I have liked elves since I read Lord of the Rings several years ago.  My favorite part was the very end, because I like happy endings.

Could you please do more stories like Star Shard: fantasy, with an elf or elf-like character?

Thanks!

I LOVE "The star Shard!!!! I'm so sad it ended....Cry The story was short, but it was captivitaing, and exciting! And the illustrations!!! WOW! The illustrations are absolutley BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you Frederic S. Durbin and Emily Fiegenschuh (I hope i spelled that right) for putting Star Shard out there! My favorite part was when Loric and Cymbril are so close to going into the Fey realm, but they get caught. I also love the part where Cymbril bargains for their freedom. That was pretty coragous of her! Although Cymbril is amazing, i would say my favorite character is either Bobbin, Loric, or Urrt.

Wow!!!!! A year has passed already???!?! I;m really surprised-it seems like just last month the story was first started!:) I'm going to miss reading it. It's such an amazing piece of work!:):):) I really like Loric and Cymbril. I can't wait to see how it ends!:):):)

I loved everything about this story! I wish the next part would start in Cricket next, I really want to read what happens now that they are home. My favorite character was Loric he was a little mysterious but that made him interesting. I would like to know more about him and I hope that the next part of the story tells what he is like. For most of this story he was locked up and that made it harder to get to know his character. But what I did see I loved. He is a true friend and he is kind. I just reread all the parts over again now that it is complete! I hope Cricket will leave it online for a while after part 10 comes out, lots of my friends want to read it.
