I haven't submitted any stories for a pretty long time, but I have an explanation:
I'm currently re-working the Mantis and Silvia series from the beginning. There have been just too many things nagging at me for too long. The first few chapters were my earliest attempts to write, and as such they had tons of issues, pretty much slapped together, lacked logic and I feel most character interactions have come off as flat at best. Silvia had the impression from the start, as I see looking back, as extremely fickle and impatient- this isn't what I intended. In the redo, better reasons will be given for her actions and the situation she is in will
