Re: [Nymphomaniac Fantasia Part 2 - Astral Romance]



Mad Hamlet, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Before I say anything else, I'd just like to thank you for writing the Prisms series. One of the best fics I've read, with some of the best characterizations. The fact that you based them on nothing but descriptions and other people's work baffles me. When I was reading it, I was actually thinking 'wow, here's a person who's watched the show one too many times' ;)
But enough about that, and back to responding to the feedback:

About the first part, it was always meant to be the naughty, if you will, build-up to the larger story. I, personally, don't enjoy PWP at all, but since I wrote the first part with this one in mind, I had no issues writing and releasing it. Besides, it attracts readers :)
And, of course, you're right about the "scary feeling" as well. I've 
seen it in a ton of stories myself, and was hesitant to include it. 
None the less, the surpressed feelings are an issue, and I wanted to 
show that. Perhaps it didn't have to be said in clear text, but 
apart from most of the chapter, where everything's abstract and 
symbolic, I wanted to convey a solid message to the reader, 
something that said "this is how it is, don't doubt it".
Big thanks for feedback

Greetings,


>>aight, here's the second part. Bravo. The title is, to someone of my preferences, somewhat off putting
but I noticed
the file size. That and the fact that I hadn't seen your work
before I gave it
a read.

Glad I did.

I think other authors should sit up and take notice of your work.
The details
are excellent. Setting scenes, expressions, movements. Quite good.
Then
there's the plot. The first part didn't seem that spectacular in
terms of
plot, nothing I hadn't read a thousand times(And probably written)
but the
descriptions were enough to make me take a gander at the second
part and
viola. About the only thing is the repetative self questioning and
descriptions that
I've seen far too often. 'Feeling she had but was afraid of' yadda, yadda, yadda.
Everything has weak spots, there are not exceptions your story 
included but,
unlike many, the strong far, far, far outpowers the weak.

Again, bravo.

I remain, as always,
Mad-Hamlet
