Whew! I think I finally got the format right for Eka's upload program. If you see anything that looks really off, please let me know so I can correct it.
This is my favorite story that I've written, and I'll forewarn you that it's long (though looking at the word count of 21k now, not as long as I thought). I put it up on Lulu and Amazon, and I think I've sold myself at least a dozen copies! :D
I'd love any kind of feedback - positive or negative, constructive or just unadulterated praise. ;) Please let me know what you think!

I can't believe you drew something for each chapter. I'm almost afraid to see them, as I've got such a vivid impression of the story already. It has certainly stuck with me. See your Lil's Veyl page for previous unadulterated praise :)

<grin> Thanks! Don't worry - there's not an illustration for -every- chapter. I can't believe people could even read some of the chapters, much less see them illustrated.
I'm really interested to see if the illustrations match your visual images, though!

I loved it!
Unlike many longer story's I was never tempted to skip parts. I like the way you sort of jumped into the story as if we all should know what the context was. Indeed it seemed to become more clear every chapter and because of that I didn't want to miss a single word.
So I actually was a bit dissapointed when xiv kicked in....no... you shouldnt'have explained as far as I'm concerned....just build on like in the previous chapters and keep me guessing....your world is strong enough.
Beautiful illustrations! You're a multi-talent!
Thanks

Thank you for the great comments!
I really struggled with the question of whether or not to include a section like that chapter and make it explicit. I guess in the end I wasn't confident enough that the average reader would figure out that they really were vampires and it wasn't just another one of Jane's games.

Very impressive, but I would have appreciated a warning about the actual soul-vore beforehand.
I mean, I should have guessed it since you went out of your way to explain they existed, but...
Posted by 4ofSwords 13 years ago Report
<grin> Yeah, the warning's kind of built-in to the story.

Though I kind of meant "In the Keywords" part.

Couldn't finish this one. It's a fantastic piece but the agonizing nihilism is too much.

Thanks for the feedback! It is appreciated (truly, no sarcasm).
