Because I want to make Squills as amazing as possible, I’ve got a few questions for you guys and I was hoping to get your opinions on this edition as well. And if you haven't read Squills yet, you can download it here. Everyone who answers these questions gets 100 points!!! (yep, I'm bribing you!)

How did you find out about Squills?

Did it download alright for you? Did having it in a PDF format work well for you?

What was/were your favorite part(s) about Squills? Why?

What was/were your least favorite part(s) about Squills? Why?

Is there anything specific you would like to see in the next edition of Squills?
Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

1. Well, I heard about on chat a fair few times, but I got the link from yooou.

2. Yeah, and yeah. :3

3. I liked the part about SBing, because it really explains a lot of things nicely. Also Rosey's article on magic, because a lot of new writers often get that part wrong and we end up with an uninteresting form of magical system.

4. Can't really pick any out. They were all pretty good!

5. An article on description? And conflict and tension and character interactions. (Is asking a lot...)

Oh, the anticipation, the #itscomings, the weird clues and then... "username likes it's here in the lounge" in my feed. I just needed to know! ^^

It downloaded fine! It's a little bit slow and the first time I did it it bought up an advertisement on another page but overall it was good :P. The PDF format was great and *searches* swipy on my iPod touch but a little bit fiddly.
What was/were your favourite part(s) about squills? Why?
I loffed it all <3.
Honestly, I liked five steps to writing a better first chapter because it
explained things well and in -suprise- steps, heh. Lava's article was
awesome (even though English isn't a foreign language to me) and I liked how it had comments from other people too. I liked introduction to haiku because it spoke about something that you /thought/ was simple, but showed it in a different light. Finally, dolls house and the giggle column, well, made me giggle ;).
Overall everything in there was helpful and interesting. I really like the layout, the font style and the rainbow
kaleidoscope pictures because they're pretty but not distracting.

What was/were your least favourite part(s)

Hmmmm. If you really want me to choose something, it'd have to be the interview/iambic pentameter article. They were both good, just not very... grabbing :/.

Also, it was a bit too short. I want MOAR.

Is there anything specific you would like to see in the next edition of squills?

*tries to think*... Just more amazing stuff! Maybe something about editing. Or normal sounding dialogue. Or what /not/ to do. Or something where you answer peoples writing questions. Or... *flails* :3
