Okay, well I got my first negative review for my story. First I'm not going to remove it, I see no reason in silencing the opinion of someone who read this. I'm not the kind of writer who goes up in arms because someone writes something negative about my stories, the review was a legitimate point of view and I completely respect it. On that note I'll say this, i don't remove reviews, only ones I would be inclined to remove would be idiots who would be flaming for the sake of flaming. That said I have a few points to make for all of you. The review got me thinking about the subject, that's a very good thing for me, what was said had merit and it my mind worth discussing. ! I am very aware of the content I've written, I knew going in that I wasn't going to please everyone with what I wrote. Yes i enjoy writing things that you all enjoy to read, I'd love to please all of you but the truth is that I can't, I can only write what I feel is important to write. I know this will offend people, it is alright though, just understand that I am aware and am trying to be as respectful about this as I can without loosing sight of what I'm trying to say. 2 The chapter that was put into question was not easy, I have no intention on saying I'm sorry for it either, I am very aware that rape and torture are not to be taken lightly, they're a harsh reality of life for many people. Confessing here that I am no stranger to these topics personally. That's all I'll say to that. The point of the chapter was to shake the ground, as is any chapter like it. The chapter I hope did it's job, like I said it was difficult to write when I did it. I don't take the scenes lightly at all. 3 The world I've created for this story is complicated and different to the world that our reality exists in, it's why I chose to do it that way. For one humans no longer hold the top spot, it belongs to creatures of very different mentalities. The creature is of course Kayne, in our society is what he did wrong. Of course it is, i am the first to say it but in his world where she was considered his property, it was justified. Kayne would not consider what he did raping her, he saw it as teaching her a hard lesson. Quote 'Your choices will determine my treatment of you.' I am by no means saying she deserved it, no one ever does but in their world the lines are very blurry, brued enough to create the situation they are in. If you've read all the way to the current chapter then you know the complexity of their relationship and how blured the line between then actually is. Kayne is five thousand years old, a dragon of a relative decent age, he is by no means good, his inclination is to evil, he has his own secrets, he has his own darkness to hide and as I'm not ready to disclose that information we'll leave it at that. 4 Natasha is not your average girl, not all people put in difficult situations like I've written would react the same way she did but I am a very strong believer in choices and their consequences. Choice is a dangerous thing, I believe that having a choice can be as dangerous as having non at all. This story has been about that, choices, bad ones, good ones and ones that were made in desperation and darkness. 5Kayne was not as bad as he could have been, in the end he gave her a choice,it was a shitty one and I was not attempting to make it sexy or make it seem that she was enjoying it because she wanted to. She was lost, she believed that she'd lost everything and he put her in a position in which her body would react whether she liked it or not. In the end she had to decide, let the experience be completely traumatic or let go, she chose to let go because it was the only choice she felt she could make. Okay, if you're still reading this, I thank you for putting up with my urge to speak my mind, This story is my first original piece that I've posted, I posted it with a lot of fear that I would put it up and absolutely everyone was going to hate it but i was surprised to see how much positive feedback I've received, this is a culmination of a lot of things that I've had in my mind. Like I said, each person is allowed their opinion and I am no one to tell anyone how to think or feel. In the end if you choose not to read my story, it's fine, i respect it and am sorry that you feel so strongly against what I wrote, I honestly don't mean to offend anyone but like i said I'm not going to change it. With that I am going to stop, thank you for listening to what I had to say and I hope it puts some things in perspective.
