    So...remember this?
    I just realized that as a hemisphere, the height of a dome is equal to its radius, not its diameter, so in order for Luzurial’s head not to be brushing the roof of the dome, the radius of the thing has to be something like 2 meters (about 6 feet 7 inches), which means the diameter is 4 meters (a hair over 13 feet) at the ground level.
    I apologize for the math-based stupidity from earlier.  I’ve gotten better at it over the years, but sometimes basic aspects of geometry still escape me.
    In case you’re curious, if I’m doing this right, it would mean that assuming Luzurial is 6 feet (1.829 m) tall, then the wings sprout from her shoulders, which according to what I could find online are about 82.1% of the way up your body (1.501 m in her case).  At a height of 1.501 m, the diameter of the barrier should be 8 feet 8 inches (2.642 m), so with that 15 foot wingspan, she’d be able to spread them more than halfway, which should allow her to beat them somewhat, though obviously not at full strength, but would also allow her to press them against the walls of the dome.
    Assuming I didn’t just screw up the math again, that is.

    Honestly, I kinda wish you’d stopped at two.  The third one was only supposed to be funny, I’m sure, but remember how the lamia muse talks to me too?  Well, that apparently inspired her, and she deposited a very upsetting image into my mind.  I wrote it as an excerpt...then put it in a spoiler, so that no one would see it by accident...then grew afraid that you would think it brilliant and put it into Whore of Heaven (because, hey, Luzurial will technically survive it; what’s a little more agonizing pain?), so I deleted it completely.
    I gotta stop taking that bitch’s calls...

    In case you’re curious, assuming Shannon is 162.56 cm or 5’4” (about average female height in the US), this would give her a wingspan of 4.064 m (13 feet 4 inches).  Kizzy’s wings may be wildly different due to the whole Seraph thing.
    At 243.8 cm (8 feet) tall, Eparlegna ends up with an appropriately threatening 6.096 m (20 foot) wingspan.

    Fair enough! Thank you again, anyway. Wonderful reviews. I guess I got lucky with putting enough elements in there to bulk ‘er out. I’ll probably still keep thinking 1D or 1.5D at best, but it’s worth noting that I am pretty convinced that most of what I ever wrote was terrible.
    Something’s getting sheathed in Part Nine and it isn’t sexual? I kid! I kid!… No, absolutely though, can’t be forced. Some of it appears on the screen and it was like it was never in my brain at all. It just appears, sometimes with an echo of mocking laughter in the darkness of my hindbrain.
    Heh. Shakespeare humor.
    Should I ever need to write another angel of similar build I’m definitely going to have this math in mind. If nothing else I feel like writing a sex scene someday with a character with wings. Besides Spyro the fuckin’ dragon.
    I bet it’s gonna be epic.
    Always happy to get any review! Even flames  
    And she was ok! It just took 75 years in universe and 11 years outside. Some kinda relative time Narnia thing going on there.
    “Ugh,” muttered Eparlegna, as he looked upon he mess he had made of his mother “I thought she smelled bad on the outside.”
    Wait, no, that’s Star Wars.
    Eparlegna burst out, looked down at the hole he had made and began to sing,
    “ Hello my baby, hello my honey
    Hello my ragtime-”
    Wait, no that’s Spaceballs.
    “Hey, who wants to eat the placenta?”
    Wait, no that’s hippies.
    Huh. I’ll stop now on rule of three before you decline to ever speak to me again. It may already be too late.
    Well, she could be allowed to escape, so long as she got raped again in the next part. They’d probably have been ok with that. I think you’re right that a lot of those readers were pretty much there for the Archangel violation (Back when someone pasted it to the old old gurochan site they even loaded it under the title “Angel Violation”, possibly because there technically isn’t any whoring in it. Some perverts are very keen on semantics.)
    I said Deathstalker could have done it, I didn’t say he always does :p The guy is paid by the word! Also, I’ll glare at anybody who says his version of Rebecca Chambers with a cute penis isn’t canon. LALALA I don’t want to hear it!
    Eh, I probably could have been a bit more explicit about it though in the warning. Some of my later stories have stronger allcaps warnings at the start. Oh well, I’m sticking with the “At least we got The Woman in the Statue” out of it.
    Yeah, going with this Happy ending!
    I do have that reputation as a monster to uphold! I mean, it was moist eyes rather than outright crying, like in part 1 feeling bad for her in the hospital with that my name is whore bit. Total hypocrisy I suppose.
    Well thanks to you, the one mortal able to do for her what needed to be done, that ending is reconned down to 75 years! I mean, still 75 years where every second hurts like eternity, but it’s better than a poke in the womb with a sharp dick as Eparlegna likes to say.
    To be fair it’s that long in our universe. Once life has ceased in the WoH universe the creator might have hit fast forward and got to Judgement Day in only a few trillion years.
    I always thought so. They got another song “Vampire Punk Rockers from Hell” that also feels like it could inspire a pretty good story too.

    I’ve got another story or two of yours I want to review, but after that I may check it out.
    In regards to the “birthing” scene, I wrote this moment in The Woman in the Statue…
    No joke, that’s literally based on my thoughts as I read the birthing scene all those years ago: “She’s okay, she can heal, she’s okay, she can heal, she’s okay she can heal she’s okay she can heal she’sokayshecanheal!”
    I mention that because…
    If you had made a joke after the birthing scene, I would have reached through the computer and slapped you.  Don’t tell me it’s physically impossible; I’d have found a way.
    You keep saying that, but consider this.  First, you explained why her abilities didn’t work; the chains are enchanted, so they can be heated up to 6,000 kelvins without vaporizing (6,000 K – glowing white – is almost twice the boiling point of iron), and even as they start to do so, they can be renewed.  It feels unfair and sad for me, but damnit, the target audience came here to see this woman be raped; she can’t be allowed to escape in a badass manner!
    Second, no offense to Deathstalker, but he is not above doing something like this.  The fic of his I read where I first discovered what “snuff” meant had Jill Valentine getting shot in the head while involved in a gangbang with three Umbrella mercenaries.  “Why was she involved in a gangbang with three UBCS members?” one might ask.  Well, upon discovering that the cable car needs parts, instead of saying (paraphrased) “Well, I guess we need to go scavenging for parts now,” like she does during this exact scene in Resident Evil 3, Jill says (paraphrased) “Well, I guess we’re all going to die soon.  You guys want to fuck?”
    OoC strikes when you most expect it.
    So yeah, this is just part of the genre.
    Hey, it’s not your fault.  Tags can be vague (MCD might mean Snuff, or it might just be that the main villain dies), and there are some things the author can’t tell you without explicitly spoiling the ending, which is generally bad form.
    That’s probably true.  If we got to see the day when she was finally freed, or when that coating finally disintegrated (more on that later), I still would have felt very bad for Luzurial, but with some reassurance that she would be okay, I probably wouldn’t have wanted to write my little therapy project.
     I know I made you cry once (the car scene), but that was the only one I was aware of.  You’re going to have to call these moments out in the reviews.
    That aspect of the tragedy was not lost on me; it adds quite a bit to how much I feel for her.  Similar to how we’ve all done something that made us look and feel really stupid, I think we’ve all tried to fix a problem at some point and accidentally worsened it.  I even had Luzurial mention that in Part Six, when Kevin tries to apologize for...interfering.
    Oooooooh that might have just made it so much worse  You see, I figured she was suffering horribly in there until star formation stopped and they all burned out, and then Judgment Day happened and some of her friends let her out, but if entropy does it, if the coating just disintegrates naturally...that would require the nucleons to break down, which assuming minimum proton half-life would take 2 trillion trillion trillion  years (2 x 1036).  I can only assume that after none of her friends let her out and that happened, she would probably spend at least the next half a billion years curled into a fetal position crying.
    I need to go write in Kevin giving her another hug now…
    You know, that actually sounds kind of cool.

    I’ll try, but I’m not going to be able to pull off detailed analysis of everything I read (heck, I wasn’t able to do that with a lot of your stuff).  But given how much of an impact this story had on me, I kind of wanted to try to explain why it makes me feel the things it makes me feel.  Furthermore, you’ve said that you wrote Luzurial as a one-dimensional character, and I keep feeling like I wouldn’t have bonded so tightly to a one-dimensional character, so the first chapter review is in large part a sort of essay on why Luzurial endeared herself to me as much as she did.  TL;DR, you drew, at the worst, a two-dimensional sketch that implies a three dimensional character.
    In my experience, it’s not really something you can force.  I had certain descriptions pop into my head that sounded kind of neat (the “coruscating wall of red fire” from the Room 502 fight, the clouds “painting the city purple-red with unholy luminescence” in Part Eight, and the phrase “sheathed in a nimbus of incandescent plasma” from Part Nine, which I haven’t even gotten to yet) and I try to write them down, or at least remember them long enough to do so.
    I forgot to mention this in the reviews, but in Part Two when he did the “Alas poor Yolanda” bit, I actually rolled my eyes.  Eparlegna’s more threatening than Dreneparssa will ever be, but they’re definitely related.
    The size of the circle was really only something I ended up focusing on because I was trying really hard to look for clues on Luzurial’s wingspan.  There was the realistically huge Argentavis magnificens/Pelagornis sandersi wingspan of 5.09 to 7.4 meters (17-24 feet), but the wings aren’t supposed to be realistically huge, which is why I was trying to figure out the holy circle for a minimum size.  Minimum diameter on the circle is probably something like 2 meters (6.56 feet), since the dome has to have some room above her head, and it would explain how the confinement was so tight she couldn’t dodge the chains in Part Three...but then her wings end up looking absurdly small rather than absurdly huge.
    I ended up going with a figure where each wing is 1.25 times her height, giving her a wingspan of 4.57 meters (15 feet), which led me to think that perhaps the dome was somewhere in the vicinity of 3 meters (about 10 feet) in diameter.
    And no, I’m not at that point in the story yet.  I just wanted to figure this out ahead of time.

    Thanks for the review!  I’m glad the story is moving at a good pace for you so far, and hopefully I can keep it up.  Exposition is a difficult thing, and I tried to find places where characters could naturally end up bringing it up.  Chloe’s nervousness at possibly being in trouble with IA, which often prompts people to go motormouth, was one way to do that, and I tried to manage some similar situations in other chapters.
    As for the erotic elements, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but there’s not a lot of sex in this story.  There’s a slowly developing bond between Kevin and Luzurial, which does eventually pay off, but given what she’s been through, I felt like having anything happen early on would come across like him taking advantage of her.  There is also a scene in Part Three involving a minor character (notice the “Tent” tag on this story), but I’m not sure how well I managed to write it.
    Again, thank you so much for your support thus far, and in spite of how light on sex the story generally is, I hope you continue to enjoy it!

    I keep reviews this length up, I’ll be writing more in them than I did in Whore of Heaven.
    The comforting works really well too. I mean, that little hand squeeze back… d’aww.
    That episode where she has to act like the Doctor, (because in story his program was inside her implants I think it was) she nailed his mannerisms and expressions. That was some fantastic acting there.
    And if I was writing the story somebody would pull it out and show it to him. Bwa ha ha ha! etc No, I kid, I kid. Maybe.
    I’ve always said yes when anyone’s asked. How could I not like it? The quality of the writing is amazing! The story is great, simply brilliant. I was really happy to see you get a couple of other reviews straight off the bat too. Hopefully there will be many more to come if folks give it a chance.
    I bet they’ll love the heck out of that incest fic too (and the Spider one!)
    I kind of want to write a story called Something and make it a total WAFF piece and then people can say “I read something by JayDee and it was so waffy.”

    Thanks!  Amusingly enough, I’ve learned just about enough Japanese to give it an anime title: Watashi no Atarashi Rumumeito wa Tenshi Desu
    My Japanese grammar might not be perfect, but I think it’s pretty close.
    Amusingly, it’s not really my cup of tea either, which is why this story exists in the first place.  Ten years ago, I read something by JayDee, a fanfic I’ve long since forgotten.  All I remember is that I realized it was going to be a Snuff fic and I backed out, but I also realized that I liked JayDee’s writing style, so I decided to look for a story where the female lead didn’t die.  I found Whore of Heaven, saw that it wasn’t Snuff, and figured that this meant that our female lead would suffer, but would ultimately be okay.  I grew up on Don Bluth movies, so I can take a lot of emotional torque and Nightmare Fuel as long as it ends well, so in I went, reassuring myself that Luzurial would be okay.
    She...uh...she wasn’t okay.
    So, feeling really, really, really sad for her, I ended up emailing JayDee and asking if I could write a follow-up where things got better for her.  He said go for it, and while it took me ten years, I finally got around to writing it, and here we are.
    I appreciate that you’re giving me that much credit, but don’t give me too much, because while the hip dislocation is never explicitly explained, by about Part Six, we do find out what caused that belly wound.
    Thank you!  Keep an eye on the chapter tags.  As we get to later chapters (starting in about Part Three), we do start getting flashbacks to the events of the previous story, so things may start getting kind of unpleasant.  I assure you, though, that while I’m no Don Bluth, there is a happy ending beyond the scary and upsetting stuff.

    Next up, without a doubt the longest review.
    Shh!  Don’t be mean to the guy who came up with it!  He might be reading this.
    About Kevin’s actions in general, the funny thing is that while he’s not a self-insert in the traditional sense, a lot of what he says and does comes from me going “Well, what would I do if presented with this situation?”  So, for instance, what does he do after he finds out the mystery woman is recovering upstairs?  Well...I guess I’d go out and buy her some flowers and try to introduce myself, so that’s what he does.
    She’s holding up amazingly well, considering what she’s been through.  Most humans would probably be a lot worse off than she is, but something I realized while reading your story is that she’s very, very tough, both physically and emotionally, so while she’s hurt and upset, she’s still holding herself together.  However, after what she went through, both before and after being put into the statue, any semblance of pride has completely inverted, and now she has some self esteem issues, which is why she couldn’t bring herself to give Kevin her real name at first; she doesn’t feel worthy of using it with him.  Ultimately, though…
    That moment is, to me, an example both of Kevin’s empathy and of Luzurial allowing herself to be vulnerable.  He doesn’t really know who this woman is or what she’s been through, but he knows he can’t let her cry herself to sleep or face nightmares when she does drift off, and holding her hand is really all he knows how to do for her, based on his own experiences as a younger kid.  For Luzurial’s part, she’s been a support system for others in the past, and in your story she tried to stamp down her own emotional vulnerability in an attempt to help other people.  Her taking Kevin’s hand and telling him her real name is her accepting that whether she thinks she deserves it or not, she wants someone to reassure her and tell her that things will get better, and maybe that’s okay.
    And on a meta level, I just wanted to see Luzurial experience a level of peace after all her suffering, so it was a personal moment for me.  Granted, I suppose this entire story is a personal moment for me, but still, the H/C bits are particularly so.
    Actually, I kind of feel like we inadvertently worked together to co-write a giant Hurt/Comfort fic.  You did a bang-up job on the hurt, so I only needed to go for the comfort.
    Off topic, but that is actually one of my favorite Trek characters.  They may only have hired Jeri Ryan for hotness, but at some point it obviously dawned upon the studio that she could ACT, and Seven ended up with a lot of great moments throughout the show (in my opinion, anyway).
    That was something I always wanted in the story.  Kevin is, after all, an eighteen year old boy, with all the associated hormones, and Luzurial is, following on from your story, this kind of intense, preternatural beauty, deeply sensual without actually trying to be, so it’s natural for him to feel attracted to her, but I didn’t want him to come across like a creeper, so he accepts that yes, he thinks she’s hot, but then refocuses on trying to help her, because it’s just the right thing to do.  Kevin’s not an action hero (in spite of a scene or two in later chapters), but what he does have is a good heart.
    This has been kind of an incredible thing for me too.  I never expected that the answer to “Can I write a happy ending to your rapefic?” would be “Go for it, and show it to me when you’re done,” and that even after it took me so long to write it, that I’d finally be able to show it to you and have you actually like it!
    Sometimes the internet is an amazing place.

    I mean, if you read Whore of Heaven, it never gets any worse than that.  The flashbacks are to the events of that story, after all.  I was thinking more of another reviewer, whom I’ll get to shortly, potentially getting upset.
    As for Little Brother’s Lesson, Ryan is 18 and his big sister Cindy is 23, so no Minor1 or Minor2.  Like I said, it was posted first on Literotica, where all the characters have to be at least 18.

    This is happening way faster than I’d anticipated.  That’s not a bad thing, though!
    Let’s kick this off with what I think is chronologically the first review.
     
    Well, this is either going to be a very happy review or a very unhappy one.
    Happy it is!  Thank you so much for the kind words.  Since this is my first story here on AFF, and given what it’s a sequel to, I was pretty nervous as to how it would be received.  Granted, upset reviews may come later, when Luzurial’s PTSD flashbacks start and the disturbing imagery really kicks in, but this was a really nice first review to get!
    More is definitely on the way.  Out of the story’s nine chapters, I’ll have eight of them done by the end of tonight.  I’m planning to update this once per week, so hopefully Part Two will be up next Monday!
    Be careful saying that on the first chapter.  Things may get less intriguing for you as we go along, but I do hope you’ll continue to enjoy it.
    I don’t have anything else planned at the moment that’s going to be as long as The Woman in the Statue, and not all of them will be to your tastes, but I have two other stories that I want to have on this site.
    Little Brother’s Lesson is already up on Literotica, but I figure I’ll post it here too.  It’s a brother/sister incest story (like I said, not for everyone), which will eventually have two sequels: Our Secret and Ever After, to complete the story.
    The Spider House may be more up your alley.  It’s about a teen named Cody who starts falling for his neighbor Yua, who lives in the neighborhood haunted house and may or may not be human…  If I can have that one ready for one of the AFF Halloween parties, it may be my contribution.
    At any rate, thank you again for your kind review!

    The Woman in the Statue My flagship story, effectively, and my most popular so far.  Kevin frees a mysterious woman from her magical prison.

    Off topic, but that is actually one of my favorite Trek characters.  They may only have hired Jeri Ryan for hotness, but at some point it obviously dawned upon the studio that she could ACT, and Seven ended up with a lot of great moments throughout the show (in my opinion, anyway).
    That was something I always wanted in the story.  Kevin is, after all, an eighteen year old boy, with all the associated hormones, and Luzurial is, following on from your story, this kind of intense, preternatural beauty, deeply sensual without actually trying to be, so it’s natural for him to feel attracted to her, but I didn’t want him to come across like a creeper, so he accepts that yes, he thinks she’s hot, but then refocuses on trying to help her, because it’s just the right thing to do.  Kevin’s not an action hero (in spite of a scene or two in later chapters), but what he does have is a good heart.
    This has been kind of an incredible thing for me too.  I never expected that the answer to “Can I write a happy ending to your rapefic?” would be “Go for it, and show it to me when you’re done,” and that even after it took me so long to write it, that I’d finally be able to show it to you and have you actually like it!
    Sometimes the internet is an amazing place.

    I mean, if you read Whore of Heaven, it never gets any worse than that.  The flashbacks are to the events of that story, after all.  I was thinking more of another reviewer, whom I’ll get to shortly, potentially getting upset.
    As for Little Brother’s Lesson, Ryan is 18 and his big sister Cindy is 23, so no Minor1 or Minor2.  Like I said, it was posted first on Literotica, where all the characters have to be at least 18.

    I have a fairly high threshold for most content, to be honest. My absolute walk-into-the-walls firm limits don’t include incest, but I’m not always comfortable with Minor1 content, and I flee from scat and watersports. 
    But I have a feeling what you have planned for Luzurial isn’t going to send me screaming into the night, and I’m going to be very happy when I get back from a rare and much-needed vacation to have a chapter of The Woman in the Statue waiting for me to enjoy. The Spider House does sound right up my alley, and depending on the ages for the characters in Little Brother’s Lesson, I might just dive into that as well. You’re an extraordinary writer, and I’ll push my own limits when I enjoy someone’s work as much as I’ve enjoyed your first chapter here on AFF.

    This is happening way faster than I’d anticipated.  That’s not a bad thing, though!
    Let’s kick this off with what I think is chronologically the first review.
     
    Well, this is either going to be a very happy review or a very unhappy one.
    Happy it is!  Thank you so much for the kind words.  Since this is my first story here on AFF, and given what it’s a sequel to, I was pretty nervous as to how it would be received.  Granted, upset reviews may come later, when Luzurial’s PTSD flashbacks start and the disturbing imagery really kicks in, but this was a really nice first review to get!
    More is definitely on the way.  Out of the story’s nine chapters, I’ll have eight of them done by the end of tonight.  I’m planning to update this once per week, so hopefully Part Two will be up next Monday!
    Be careful saying that on the first chapter.  Things may get less intriguing for you as we go along, but I do hope you’ll continue to enjoy it.
    I don’t have anything else planned at the moment that’s going to be as long as The Woman in the Statue, and not all of them will be to your tastes, but I have two other stories that I want to have on this site.
    Little Brother’s Lesson is already up on Literotica, but I figure I’ll post it here too.  It’s a brother/sister incest story (like I said, not for everyone), which will eventually have two sequels: Our Secret and Ever After, to complete the story.
    The Spider House may be more up your alley.  It’s about a teen named Cody who starts falling for his neighbor Yua, who lives in the neighborhood haunted house and may or may not be human…  If I can have that one ready for one of the AFF Halloween parties, it may be my contribution.
    At any rate, thank you again for your kind review!

    Having had the extreme pleasure of reading the first chapter of The Woman in the Statue, I’m really, REALLY looking forward to more stories from you!
