Ennui in a Vorish World: A two-character play in one act. I like it.

Worth reading for the author's comments alone. :D

I can but echo what the others have said. A most interesting and successful experiment.

After all these years I have finally focused long and hard enough on each sentence in this story to finally completely fully understand it.
It was a subtle delight to properly read it, as complicated as the task was.

I was going to feign indignation at a backhanded compliment, but I reread the story and yeah-- it's a bit of knot, isn't it? Take comfort in the fact that all that palace intrigue is literally just chaff I stuck in to give the ladies something to talk about.

Even beyond that, there's a lot that I just sort of assume that you know about the Mystic Wilds and the way that it works which is not at all obvious to anyone outside my own skull. It's a problem that's cropped up several times... something for me to work on in the future.

Thanks for coming back to this story! I don't know if I'd call it one of my favorites, but I'm definitely prouder of it than average.

Mistake not my difficult time at reading your story as a negative critique in any way on how it's written. It's VERY well written. I'm just not used to reading this level of literature in English most of the time.

I can also empathize a lot with that aspect of lore building, wherein a newcomer may not know all about one's built up lore. It is much the same for me and my creations, although I am horribly guilty of not having put out enough content out there after thinking up ideas.
