>>21 That was one of my biggest goals for this installment, and I'm glad it panned out. >>22 I'm not really upset, but I've been getting some similar comments on Tumblr and I felt the need to just say hey, this is what I like. This is what I write. I'm sorry if I came across as unduly rude. >>23 Considering Holiday popped into this thread, I guess I can safely say that while the content wasn't inspired by their work, some of the imagery was indeed. As for the tiny complaint, thank you, actually. I have the bad habit of ending my stories in such a way, and this is my first time writing anything that would be considered a loose collection of related stories set in an arc. If I could go back and change it, I would. But I do plan on making a Tumblr for this story, and any edits/changes/re-writes will end up there. Needs moar cliffhanger, I agree! >>24 skldsfau ty! I'm honored.
