Can you take some time and read my yet-incomplete story? It's a backstory related to the RACC roleplays.

Somehow, my story somehow feels a tad unnatural and "characterless". It only describes the situation and gives some insight on the background, but I don't know how to put the many characters in and introduce a few of them in the beginning. It just doesn't sound like a novel, in my story so far, most of the beginning is used to describe angry crowds fighting, some magics in the middle but the first character name is only mentioned after so many lines and paragraphs!
P.S. how's your story? That weird story about dreams, teacups and spiders?
