Yay! Another review for Charlotte and the crew in Tales of the Starbound Glory, this time from @InBrightestDay.
From InBrightestDay on July 14, 2019
Okay, full disclosure, given some of your other stories and the name of the ship...I actually thought this was going to be about space pirates before I started reading.
You still have your flair for action, and the attack on the French ship is visceral, not to mention that bit where, while disabling Abraham's hands, Charlotte ends up slashing him in a very...personal place. He had it coming, but holy shit did that make me cringe.
Related to that, when Charlotte throws him out onto the deck, all the other crewmen attack him. While I'm sure they know he's a perennial screwup, they don't necessarily know what he's done this time, only that their captain saw fit to punish him violently, and that's all they need to know.
I bring this up because while there were female pirates (Anne Bonny being one of the most famous), they were a definite minority, to the point that the ship's contract sometimes outright forbade women from being onboard. Charlotte's male crew, meanwhile, is fiercely loyal to her, and I'd imagine there's a really interesting story about how she won their respect.
Charlotte felt her heart racing. She didn't understand. Not completely.
This actually made me laugh, because that was kind of my reaction. I mean, Isolde was almost raped, and then was in the mood really fast. I'm not complaining, mind you, since the sexual content was quite well done and pretty hot.
I did also like that bit where Charlotte attempts to flip across Isolde and ends up missing the bed and falling on the floor. I think we've all misjudged where the bed ends at some point in our lives, so that made me laugh.

Lol. I certainly thought about making it space pirates, but a certain someone, I thought, would enjoy it as historical pirates. I certainly did writing it.

I'm glad my action scenes still have the attention capturing hold. Lol. I enjoyed writing it in the quick, rapid pacing with bloody violence, despite the research into cannon fire and the chain shot. I'm glad it made you cringe, it was definitely meant to.
As for the crew, I definitely wanted to show that most are unconditionally loyal to Charlotte. Always a few whi would be problems. This so that eventually i might be able to expland as they come to.

Lol. Yep. I read somewhere that mistakes work for a first time scene and really felt that it works in terms of Charlotte's character. Lol.

Well, well, I'm back... And a new oneshot from Discord prompts and a new review! Gracious thanks to @CloverReef on Plundering Booty in the Tales of the Starbound Glory oneshot prompt anthology.
From PlagueClover on July 12, 2019
Awesome story. Nice and bloody, and with just enough girly bits smooshing together. Good job dude
I'm glad. I'm not the greatest with pirates, but I'm definite looking forward to playing more with Charlotte, Isolde, and the rest.

A review on Blood and Lace chapter 8 by @Tcr
Yes, yes it has. And far too long in the coming as well.
Much prefer long to never. Especially a good and well written story like B&L.
23 minutes ago, Sinfulwolf said:My basis is writing at a Hentai website, so I figure I’d bring a little hentai element into the story. I just… grounded it a bit, and it becomes a bit closer to horror on many levels. Plus tentacles. They’re fun to write. But yes, it was a challenge to have elements of the erotic and sexual/sensual, while also delivering on disturbing and horrorific. It’s a challenge I’m often posing to myself with this story, and it’s been fun.
Lol. It's been done wonderfully. And given my own recent experience writing tentacles, I can see the fun involved.
. And I think you did well in combining the two opposite spectrums into a disturbing, yet interesting and kinky, scene.
23 minutes ago, Sinfulwolf said:Eh… possibly a big bad. It is certainly one of the Devil’s that’s been referenced a few times throughout. As to what this particular one has in mind… time will tell there. I’m glad you found that creep factor though. Without it, I figure the presence of this Devil would be diluted. As to the sound of his voice… well, that’s up to the reader eh?
As to the questions, and “What just happened?” well… what do you think just happened? I thought I was fairly clear cut on the delivery, but if I wasn’t… that kind of works in my favour this time around.
The possessed, the damned, I’ve been eager to introduce for awhile. There’s a bunch of variations too that act… ever so slightly different from each other, depending on the sin they were imprisoned within. The ones we have here being Lust. But I had a lot of fun bringing them forth, and trying to present a zombie like foe that just… was odd, and fucked up. I actually took a bit from the comic “Crossed” for inspiration. The duality of them though is of my own design, and it did let me play with ethics and such a little bit between these two characters.
A mix of zombie movie and city riot certainly works for the situation. I wanted that kind of chaos amidst it all.
The intro of the Devil is creepy enough to add to the environment and well done creep vibe. As for what just happened, there's several things I can think of, but that's the Joy's of reading, after all
. And definitely loved the zombie vibe while reading. Reminded me of a few old movies, like the good old Romero films. As for the line, I thought I recognized it, but I still laughed my ass off at it and I think it works far better in the context here than Battle: LA.
23 minutes ago, Sinfulwolf said:Intentional. I find modern people very cynical, and so I wanted to portray that. I was experimenting a bit using You Tube and Headlines to deliver some world building. How did it turn out overall?
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying Mia’s character arc. Part of it stemmed from my switch in plot and tone for the story, resulting in Mia’s end goal changing. Therefore, higher arc for her.
Lol. Adding YouTube and headlines definitely works. Recently saw a headline on YouTube "I Gave Birth To Demon" and when I was reading yours, it was like... Yep, sounds like people. Spread any information they can without facts. Or blurring them into obscurity. Honestly, I think it works fantastically.
I like this change. I think it works for the better. Expanding on Mia allows for a better experience in terms of the characters and has been allowing a more realistic feel to them.
27 minutes ago, Sinfulwolf said:Now… the relative bookstore owner. While writing I was aware of the cliche, but it’s not a big revelation in my mind if she turns out to be the witch. To me, it was on the nose enough for Mia to start following that particular bread trail and see where it leads. So while cliche, I didn’t want to build it up to be this massive revelation. More a small one.
I actually like it. Specifically because there's a chance of following the cliche (albeit built up enough by the bookstore being frequented by Sabine and the reason being a relative, who sticks the books with hers) or subverting that cliche. But still, well done in writing the scene.
30 minutes ago, Sinfulwolf said:Yes… yes it does. Her rollercoasting really comes from her addictions. The highs and lows from the drugs, sex, and booze. Each low is getting lower, digging that pit deeper. I was tempted to go a bit cringier, but… people don’t often talk like that. I alreadt feel these examples are a touch extreme, but it works for that particular scene setup. The ending implication was a perfect fade to black moment.
I really do need to involve Sam more. Alas it’s not on the cards for the immediate future. But it felt good to ground Kris in that love again.
Thank you as always for the review.
I do like the portrayal you have. It kind of feels natural. Although, not my experience, so maybe I'm off wildly. But, that said, it is possible that her own transformation is affecting her too. She seems to shift addictions (from drugs to sex to drugs to sex almost based off what she can get around her). And that's a good idea. Thumbs up!
And yeah... Bring more Sam! More Sam! More Sam!! (Lol
.) I do like her interactions between them and the fact that Kris thinks of her more than occasionally shows her love for Sam as deeply as she does.
AND... As always, you're welcome for it. It's a great story and I eagerly await the next installment.

Well, that's quite an evaluation. Lol.
Being completely honest, I enjoy hearing the thoughts, theories, ideas, and even some forms of canon not of my own. Hearing that my writing gets people thinking, I'm glad. And unlike some people, what I fully intended to be isn't the end all and be all, so there isn't really any wrong thought.
. I'm kind of laid back like that. Lol. (Besides, all reading lends itself to the reader's perspective as they do.

Well, it seems Last Full Measure is popular... At least with @InBrightestDay, who graciously leaves another review. (On the opposite news, I'm starting to think I might just need to replace the shelf.)
From InBrightestDay on March 24, 2019
Well, I feel rather conflicted with this one. I mean, since Chapter 1 Celeste has been putting herself and others in danger by hiding her illness. On the other hand, I can't help but feel bad for her because...well, woman's mentally ill, and is in that state because of horrific trauma. The same applies to other characters. Lian and Adara are covering for Celeste, which could well get her (or them) killed, but you can understand why they're doing it too. It's unprofessional, and normally when you care for someone as Lian and Adara clearly do for Celeste, you want them to get help, but right now, removing her from the team will mean...what? There aren't exactly surviving therapists on Hecatoncheires given the monster attack, so they'd have to keep her under guard, I suppose, which would use up yet more personnel, whom they are going to need if and when the monsters return...
So yeah, sympathy for everyone's decisions here.
On the other end of the emotional spectrum, I laughed a lot at the swearing in this chapter, with my personal favorites being "Holy flaming dogshit!" and "Fuck me with a spoon."
Finally, we now have confirmation that this was notdone by humans, but what are these creatures? Now Celeste and a small team are going underground, which is usually a bad thing to do in a monster movie, so things are likely to get dicey…

So yeah, sympathy for everyone's decisions here.
I will admit, I was really worried about adding that in. On one side, I know that to many people, it makes Celeste selfish and, as such, unsympathetic as she is actively putting people in danger knowing her condition. On the other, to some, I know it would be sympathetic; a flawed character in the way that people could associate with. In the end, I kind of went for what worked for the story (even if, to some, she becomes disliked and hated).
On the other end of the emotional spectrum, I laughed a lot at the swearing in this chapter, with my personal favorites being "Holy flaming dogshit!" and "Fuck me with a spoon."
Lol. I'm glad you laughed at them. I certainly wanted to avoid the "direct" approach. And, while flaming dogshit is not in my vernacular, "well, fuck me with a spoon" is definitely one of mine when it comes to being surprised.
Finally, we now have confirmation that this was notdone by humans, but what are these creatures? Now Celeste and a small team are going underground, which is usually a bad thing to do in a monster movie, so things are likely to get dicey…
Well, I certainly hope it comes out as dicey. Its definitely trying to be written like that. Lol.

Apparently I've attracted enough of a following that people want to be me. There is a new user ".tcr" running around. I submitted a report on my Star Trek Adventurer promo page, as this one wants so badly to be me, he tried to write a chapter of it there. Not sure about it, but, figured I'd let you know before he really goes out and starts affecting things.

A review on Remembrance? Now I must be dreaming. Nope, it's a review... from @InBrightestDay!
From InBrightestDay on March 22, 2019
This was a cool little oneshot. The violence in the battle scene was visceral and pretty brutal (the sword-through-the-head kill Phileia does with that rebel was a standout), and the action was quite engrossing. It was also kind of an interesting detail that no one bleeds red: Elves have teal blood and Hakorn have purple.I also wanted to bring up the main character's name. It's kind of an interesting contrast. Phileia is presumably derived from the Greek "philia" meaning love or affection, and Apollyon is also Greek, but means something like "the destroyer," and of course Apollyon is the Greek translation of the Hebrew name Abaddon, the angel of the bottomless pit. Given that Phileia has red skin, orange eyes and horns, I'd imagine that's not a coincidence.
I'm kind of curious about the other words. I knew from Last Full Measure that you draw from many languages, so are the Elvan and Hakorn words from real world languages or did you invent those yourself?

Firstly, thanks
. When I first had it up here, I got really discouraged and pulled it and shelved a story that would have continued Phileia's story forward. There wasn't much love for it.
Second: Definitely love my brutality in stories. I think it adds a realism to the scenario that toning down takes away, if that makes sense. And yep, no red blood there. Lol. I kind of wanted different, though I'm not sure the small detail made any difference in the over all arch, it still was different.

Given that Phileia has red skin, orange eyes and horns, I'd imagine that's not a coincidence.
Definitely not a coincidence on either account. The contrast was intentional, and hopefully drawn out a little through her softer interactions with her lover and the harder change when she goes full warrior. And the fact that the Hakorn have horns, red skin, orange eyes... Kind of reminiscent of a certain... demonic entity... Nope, not ringing a bell.
.
But I am glad you picked up on the contrasting names. I looked up some in order to find ones that kind of fit and had the idea I wanted to convey without banging people with the bat over their heads. Lol.
I'm kind of curious about the other words. I knew from Last Full Measure that you draw from many languages, so are the Elvan and Hakorn words from real world languages or did you invent those yourself?
This is a bit of a mix. The city name of Vltavas is reality based. I took the name from the Vltava River that runs through Prague (more because of the first and final battles, 30 years apart, in the Thirty Years War, much like the Thirty Years Conflict in Remembrance). But the vast majority is my own creation. (Shameless promo, I created a language (Straxi) in Blood Prize that is routinely used throughout, if interested.)
