@GeorgeGlass Aww shame that it was predictable, lol, but yeah I didn’t really do as much of a feint as I probably could have. I would have liked to do less humanoids. The giant started as something else entirely but the flow was off so he ended up a combination of one of those ‘nord' aliens and a cyclops. And I had to do an Elf. Just had to. Anyway, I’m glad it made you laugh! That was really the intention, so there was a little success there! Thank you for the kind review!

Hmmm, that’s definitely something to keep in mind. I certainlly wanted there to be connections to the Halloween story, but I did mostly want this one to stand on its own. May have been a bit heavy handed with the connecting threads. As to the fade to black, heh, sorry about that. I think my thought process was I wanted to cut the scene while it was still good and sexy, and before I started to just get a bit repetitive. Thank you for the review!

Thanks for the review. It’s nice to have some stories that you can read. (Well, I suppose you could relocate/travel to a different country….) I’ve definitely have made this world rich in context, with the USofA sliding into a theocracy (it’s not fully there in most of these stories). So, it’s an era where priests have more authority than they currently do today. So, I like Father Jordan as a character, simply because I’ve made him a bit richer in the personality. A hypocritical and naughty priest, with a thirst for power and control. Traits that flourish quite nicely in the world I’ve created (and scary in that we’ve got those traits with people in political office today). Hope (the santa’s preferred nickname) is another interesting character, and he/she shows up in other stories too, usually as a trucker with a colorful backstory. In a bind, I’d definitely trust Hope over Father Jordan any day. Fitz will continue to feel the guilt over this, it’ll still haunt him, his actions, but it’s slightly easier now. He’ll still try to “make up” for it, as in he’ll be sending Jarred to the elite private school of the area. Also, as a result of this incident, Hope and Rube are able to “recruit” Fitz to help with in the opposing cell-style resistance, despite his persisting homophobia, which Jarred will start to become aware of as he gets older. Anyways, glad you enjoyed the story! @CloverReef was disappointed on the lack of deaths in this one … but that would’ve messed up some of my stories.

I find I get a little bit more done around now because I get time off from work. Sure there’s all the holiday prep that’s gotta happen, but without the work portion it’s fairly low key.

My story universe isn’t to be used as a blueprint! Heaven’s, NO, NO, NO!

I do both, so blessings of the Solstice, and yay, the days are finally getting longer again!

I realise I am necroposting the thread we all hated the necroposting about, but since that other user deleted all of their posts it looks like I am a) bitching out myself on page 1 and b) bitching out BW in this quote. Which clearly can’t have been the case as I yet live un-cursed and have not yet been dragged into the dark forest and never seen again.

Have to work Xmas bs.
