Very nice! You're a good writer. I like gentle vore, and you do it perfectly. I also like the way you convey the characters' perspectives and impressions.

I'll have to read some more of your stories, when I have time.

Thanks! I can't take all the credit, of course, as a big chunk of Tina was written by KlinKitty.

We actually had a little trouble with the first draft of it; Tina was coming across as way too sociopathic, to the point where we wondered if she was going to have Brenda with "fava beans and a nice chianti."

We had to go back in and soften her a great deal, and I'm pleased with the results. When you go around absorbing sentient beings with the knowledge that most of them will only ever be socked away to sleep forever in the back of your mind, you've got to be at least a <i>little</i> conflicted, or you become entirely unsympathetic.

Indeed. It's not easy to write a character and make her "nice" when she eats people against their will. You've managed it very well; the result is both intriguing and convincing.

Good read! i enjoy fatal vore but same time feel sorry for the prey too most the time. poor Brenda, wounder if her belongings were ever sent to her family. =D keep up the good work

Posted by Taris 16 years ago Report

im so conflicted about your work! :o I love the vore, beautifully written and digestion is fun. :D But feel soooo bad for the prey! D: I keep expecting one of them to find a way to break their host's grip on them, and get away while they have a body! With Brenda's inter librarian kicking her with a taser (taser kick!) maybe she'll escape?
(please? =3)

Well, you're kind of supposed to feel bad for the prey. That's the point of nonconsensual vore in general, you know. :) And the nice thing about my vore is that the sympathetic prey is still in there somewhere, and can potentially pop up again if the vore has a use for them.

Posted by Taris 16 years ago Report

right, but what is life forever asleep, or at the whim of your predator? oh well, just wondering if there were more options for the prey, rest or reincarnation if you will.

All the same, i love the series! great works ^_^

Better than a painful (and final) death, that's what. :)

Well written character perspectives. I also caught the title. Looks like Read or die was an inspiration i assume? Cause you two did it well.^^

Posted by Throat_Wolf 16 years ago Report

Well, it was an inspiration after the fact for the title. :) I didn't actually think of it 'til I was trying to come up with a title, and the fact that it was a librarian rang a little bell for me. (Along with an Italian comedy movie I heard about some time ago called "The Pope Must Die" that had to be retitled to "The Pope Must Diet" for its American release to avoid offending Catholics.)

I see, that's pretty clever.^^

I like this!
And I especially like her Inner Librarian, putting an end to that Stockholm nonsense.

what fun tina could have in the park

Posted by Leika 16 years ago Report

I'm a little late reading this, but hopefully you'll see this message. I thought seeing Tina deliberately and publicly taunt and humiliate her prey made her a much less sympathetic character... now everyone will know that the poor librarian was her dinner, and that other librarian, the one who couldn't help her, is probably traumatized for life (I know she wasn't supposed to GET far enough away to reach the other librarian, but still).

But what bothers me most is Tina saying "Unless there's something special about them, they're all just going to sleep anyway." Who is she to judge if they're special or not? It seems incredibly cruel to have the option of waking them up for even just a little while and then only doing it for people she personally find attractive. Maybe it just hits a personal nerve, since I myself don't feel all that special... if I were in the story, I'd be gone forever, and that kinda hurts.

Anyway, still a wonderful story, well-written with some very sexy moments, but I have mixed feelings this time. Tina was still pretty gentle and loving, but maybe not as much as I had come to expect.

Posted by Throat_Wolf 16 years ago Report

Well, Tina's a very complex character. She doesn't at this point know there's anything she can do with people except send them to sleep lest they clutter up the back of her mind. In fact, she thinks letting them sleep is probably the kindest thing she can do at this point, since she can always wake them up later.

And as she says, the whole cruelty and humiliation thing is her attempt to try to distance herself from the fact that she's forced by her physiology to do something that she really doesn't like to do. So she tries to make her prey less than people in her own eyes so that she doesn't feel as bad about eating them. As she says, it mostly works.

Anyway, if you keep on reading, I think you'll see some of that stuff becomes less of a concern in the future stories.

Hope you've read some of my further stuff by now and seen the way the setting has changed. :)

"You can't eat me. I've got too much to do! I've got to study the rest of the day, then I've got a test tomorrow, then I'm on library aide duty the rest of the week…I'm sorry, I've got a much too busy schedule to let myself be eaten today."
*Applauds with laughter*

Also, "And then Brenda's inner librarian shot her with a taser."... Who is the "her" in that sentence - Brenda or Tina?
Bloody pronouns.

Posted by Throat_Wolf 15 years ago Report

The pronoun modifies the subject of the sentence preceding it, which is Tina.
