BronxWench

I don’t think so, but I’ll find out. We’d gotten into a discussion of my favorite pie shop, but they’re English pies and don’t have the requisite gravy to make them edible in Australia. But, hey, Brooklyn!

Oh, I wouldn’t change that. It was clear enough once I got to that bit that she was in a dream state, and I felt a bit sorry for her that she’d woken before getting a chance to experience her own orgasm. I love doing exactly what you’re doing—flashfic chapters with a plot to hold them together—and I miss having enough free time to do those, but yeah… Anyway, I’ll be waiting happily for part 3, and happier knowing I won’t be taking an endless subway ride to the lower reaches of Manhattan whilst daydreaming happily about misbehaving midwives. (Of course, the epic “Fred Gets Fingering” might ensure I miss my stop and wind up in the bowels of Brooklyn. The only upside to that is Melrick having discovered an Aussie-style pie shop in Brooklyn which looks worthy of a visit. :D) But anyway, keep writing, and I’ll keep reading! (See, you have a stalker-y sort of fan-wench… )

I really have no explanation for why this isn’t working, but I had to type the word in full to get any responses myself. I’m going to move this to the appropriate forum, and hopefully one of our coder-types can respond.

Boundaries can be very messy, I agree, but given the level of trust required between a Dominant and a submissive, I don’t think there’s any room for non-consensual acts. Even while exploring limits, there has to be a clear understanding between them both of what their anticipated limits are. A submissive has to be willing to end a scene if things get uncomfortable, and needs to trust absolutely that the Dominant will respond instantly to a safeword. Equally important, that Dominant needs to trust that the submissive will use their safeword without hesitation if things get out of hand in a scene. It’s the cruelest betrayal for either party to engage in or permit non-consensual acts. I won’t speak to a Master/slave relationship, because I’m not as familiar with the boundaries. I do think that relationship might be more prone to non-consensual acts while the limits are being explored. It may be part of the contract between them that the slave can’t say no, but that blurs line, too, doesn’t it? I don’t think we can ever think too hard about these things, though. Our characters deserve our best effort.

More reviews! I’m like a kid at, well, Hallowe’en! Thank you, so much! The idea of wrens as Samhain sacrifices is pretty obscure—they’re more often associated with Boxing Day, and collecting pence for the wren. But I like my obscure details, and I am really glad it worked! You are completely awesome to have gone back and read the older stories, but it’s good to know they hung together well. I mean, I went years between them, so… Thank you! I felt pretty bad for Connor in the last one. He’s really not had a whole lot of luck in his life—losing his dad, and then his Gran, and the whole teenage rebellion thing at the fairy fort leading to ten years of servitude to the Sídhe. And when he figures out his grand exit, Murphy’s Law strikes again. On the bright side, I guess he won’t die a virgin after all…maybe. We’ll have to see if @Desiderius Price get his wish and there’s another episode of “Aw, fuck me, it’s the Sídhe!” in our future.

Yay! Well, you know, that’s how we keep the punters coming back! But I’m very happy you enjoyed it, even with the NoSex tag.

Oohh, reviews! Thank you! I try to be a stickler for the little details, because sometimes I find myself jarred out of a story by something that doesn’t quite fit. I got into a huge argument with a professor once over Shakespeare’s “Coriolanus” because there weren’t any clocks in ancient Rome, dude! And I’m glad the ending was a bit ambiguous—anything involving the fey should leave you wondering. I’m Irish enough to appreciate the old stories, and pagan enough to respect the Fair Folk. I blame the Viking bits for the bloodthirsty bits. Thank you! I’m very glad the “ten years later” part worked. I wasn’t quite sure if it would, or if I could conjure up a bit more from this tale, but it just felt like it needed a better resolution than where I left off in the second story. Now, of course, I’m wondering if there’s a bit more to poke at, or if I should leave well enough alone and find some other poor characters to torment. There’s always Yule… Thank you, from the bottom of my little black heart! I seem to be prone to writing oneshots in series. It may be a good thing, or maybe it’s just my own insanity. And I’m loving the connection to your RL job. I’ve always said truth is stranger than fiction, and sometimes you just can’t make this stuff up. As far as next year, we’ll see if Lord Dubhlainn is finished with me, or if he wants to visit again.

He republished it as a separate story. I’m glad, since I don’t think my personal reading preferences are any kind of guideline for what anyone else might want to read. I’m sure he’ll get plenty of readers, and hopefully reviews as well.

Nope, that was for another story, which was a Minor1 story—not my thing when I’m reading for pleasure. It looks like he took it down, so I’ll nuke the review.

Okay, and under the deadline! Title: Redeem the Land Summary: Connor made a pact ten years ago, a bloody bargain with the Sídhe to be honored each Samhain. Gran had warned him that Sídhe hearts were dark. She should have remembered that men’s hearts were darker still. (This is the third installment of my Halloween series, and follows the events of “Feed the Land” (2015) and “The Price of the Land” (2017) for anyone keeping track.)

It would help if you could link me to your account. Thanks!

Oh, it won’t be up tonight, but I’m working as fast as I can!

Mine is in the works!

I like broker or fixer myself. Nicely ambiguous, and doesn’t always imply mayhem for hire. Although factotum appeals to my love of extraordinary words…

I skipped last year, and I’ve been miserable about it all year, so come the hells or high water, I will be doing NaNo this year. And for anyone else wanting to buddy up, I am MorwenNavarre over there, and I will be writing a Ghost and Gerry novel, for anyone who reads my Witch’s Apprentice series. I’m still thinking about the title, but I have a half-assed plot in mind, involving… well, I have to write the thing first, before I write a blurb!

You realize that this was posted eight years ago. The guest who posted it probably hasn’t checked back here in years, and the link is no longer active, which would suggest the RP isn’t ongoing at this point. You should also realize that we are quite aware you also go by the name of Guest DBZboy18.

I’m quite sure the little would-be role player won’t be satisfied, but I liked it! Especially the part where you pluck the youngster. (Brilliant tie-in to your Naruto fic!)

Don’t encourage them. We’ll have clone jutsu everywhere, and who gets to clean up THAT mess?

“Gigolo.” Just saying...

Is there any particular reason you keep spamming various topics with requests to be in stories? Please stop spamming everyone’s topics.

I adore you, utterly!

That’s it exactly. The gorefests are fun, really. I’m not at all bothered by that, but this does feel much more real, and therefore more horrible. Actually, I felt the same way about CL’s Backdoor Politics, which was hard to read because it was so real. I suppose I harbor that last bit of hope that we aren’t terminally fucked as a species, despite the state of affairs here in the States.
