Andrew Q Gordon Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 And here I thought I was a Trekkie! So did I. I lost a 100 quatloos on it too. Any thoughts on where the story is heading now? Honestly - no. I know what I want to happen next, but I don't think you'll oblige me so I won't suggest it. I can see I'm gonna need some chocolate bars and and uneaten cake to bribe you with it I want something 1

Dark Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 Alert Alert!! My story, The One I Want, has tied us in favs again!
doesnt know jack Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 And here I thought I was a Trekkie! Any thoughts on where the story is heading now? I'm sorry I've been so absent-life kind of go in the way of me participating, but I haven't stopped reading. I've soooo wanted to comment, just haven't had the time. Not that I really have it now, but this last chapter was just so wonderfully brilliant, I wanted to let you know that my reaction to this: Bryce blinked. "What?" Karadur frowned in confusion. Anger over Arawn's repeated insinuations that he wasn't trustworthy clashed with the flood of tangled emotions he felt through his bond with Azil. He’d never before felt such panic. "He's your grandson." Jacen spoke directly to the big, black, scary-as-f**k demon. Was something along the lines of: Say, come-a, what? Stopped me in my tracks. And then of course I laughed, out loud, at the "scary-as-f**k demon" and subsequent Karadur reactions. Question though: Is Karadur the grandfather by blood? Or is it through Azil? And that would mean that either one of them is the Queen's father...or it would have to mean that Kynan's father is also a half-demon...so Kynan is really a three quarter demon...or something. How the hell does that work? Also, one of the reasons I've been mia is that I accidentally skipped ahead to the end of the chapter where Aure leaves Bryce and I thought that he really died then and I couldn't read anymore because I was so pissed at the thought that that relationship might be over. And then I was glad that he wasn't totally gone and now I'm wondering if it's not him that will come back but...his son (that's how they breed)? I like Bryce (well, I like them all), and I like(d) Aure and it would suck to see that be over. But I'm excited for the part of Aure that escaped to meet back up with the story. (Unless I missed that, which I am-as previous posts have shown-prone to do.) Yeah, all of that's speculation....As to what this post is really replying to: I have no idea where this story is going. Obviously, whatever happens you can't make too easy on everyone so even if they manage to get Kynan and Alan back, it could be too late-maybe they've already let something slip and the prince will go after the queen and everyone will have to go to battle., Of course, I'd be willing to bet that Kynan's parantage will be crucial to the story.... Good stuff that. :-) One more thing: I LOVE the back stories. They really help bring the characters alive and made Karadur and Azil all that more endearing. Thanks, as always!!!
Andrew Q Gordon Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Alert Alert!! My story, The One I Want, has tied us in favs again! Since I 'did' that by 'liking' The One I want I can fix it easy enough - if you want that is - I would never dream of annoying the Dark one's protege. [That and you might stop bribing me with chocolate bars ] 1

(Unless I missed that, which I am-as previous posts have shown-prone to do.)Aww! I did that once with a video game. My fav char died in the storyline and I didn't pick the game back up for a year afterwards. You'll get the answer to these questions soon, and it all came about because my first beta reader all but killed me after the last Aure scene. One more thing: I LOVE the back stories. They really help bring the characters alive and made Karadur and Azil all that more endearing.Thanks! I always worry that I'm giving too much background. I think I have an itsy bitsy crush on Karadur. I suppose one of these days I'll simply have to finish his story.
Dark Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 OH NOES!! The One I Want, is back in the lead! Supporters for Waylon's Crossing must unite to smite this deadly threat!
doesnt know jack Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Have a new chapter! Somehow I don't think the prince will be happy with this turn in events....I don't know, could be just me. Back to harping on the subject of Kynan's parentage...I kind of figured there was something going on with him and... angels??? Hence the wing thing? Or is there another creature with feathered wings out there that we don't know about? (By the way, that dreamscape where he has the wings-beautiful. It was so...moving and subtle. I thought for awhile he would only have them in the dreamscape, I'm glad to see that's not the case.) Just one question: How is he related to Karadur again? :-p Also, I forgot to mention it last time, but I think my favorite thing about Karadur (I totally get why you would have a crush on him...) is that I really see him as an older Kynan. Give him a century or two more and they could be twins. Of course, the subtle differences between the two-I feel like Kynan might not be AS quick to loose his temper, for instance, is what makes for such good writing. I'm just glad they're all back together...now the real fun begins. Right??? hehehe (Although what that might be I certainly don't have a clue. Just bring Aure soon-the way this last chapter ended...that's completely how the loss of someone goes. Once again-beautiful.
Dark Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Not ignoring you, Jack, just can't say anything without risking giving it all away! BTW, folks, I'm thinking about changing the summary to the story. Anyone have any suggestions? What it currently says is this: 500 years ago two worlds collided: the World of Night and the World of Light. War followed. Now unknown forces are tipping the balance once more.
Douw Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Wow loved the story up to now! Makes puppy dog eyes cant wait to read the rest... A addict Begging for more PLEAS! lol joking take your tie just wanted to say loving the story!
Dark Posted June 29, 2011 Author Posted June 29, 2011 So this was sent to me as a possible new summary, or start to one: In a post war world of light dark and something in between the forces of fate and destiny are on the move, change is in the air... A young Half-ling struggles to do the bidding of his dark queenWhat do you guys think? Comments?
Dark Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 New Chapter! I hope you like this one. I know you'll like the next one.
doesnt know jack Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 So this was sent to me as a possible new summary, or start to one: What do you guys think? Comments? Yes, but it's really so much more than that...it's almost more along the lines of "A rag tag bunch of creatures of (mostly) dark are thrown together to try to save the world...." Hahaha...that's why I don't do the writing. And yeah, don't worry, I never thought you were ignoring me-I don't really expect my ramblings to ever get anywhere. :-) The (only ;-p) two things to say this time around: 1) Incubus. Yeah totally did NOT see that coming. Now it's completely like WTF man? And how again is Karadur related? Seriously, canNOT figure it out!!! 2) And I actually did pick up on Aure's kid thing. Nice hint you dropped with Jacen's (wasn't it him?) "Bryce do you know how elementals procreate" thing. Wahoo!! I got one!! Hehehehe...I really need to stop with the guessing and stick to reading. Of course, now I'm actually going through the chapter again...there's so much....Love the title-again...LOVE the sex talk humor at the end...love Bryce...well, love all the characters actually (still kind of "pissed" -quotes mean relative-about Aure leaving so soon)...love Bryce's pain-I mean, f**k that whole scene and the way it ended was poetic and tradgic.... I'm still not competely sure about the whole succubus/incubus thing...I think I need to reread the last chapter. And, truth be told, I'm finding myself becoming quite attached to the characters surrrounding Alan and Kynan...hence the "rag tag bunch" thing. Once again, much thanks!
Dark Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 1. Take a look at the incubus = emotional vampire thing, and then think back on some of the hints about Kynan and his past in earlier chapters. If it doesn't add up, then that's a serious plot flaw that I'll need to address. 2. Yep, you got one. Who's to say your next guess might be correct? I do love Bryce and Aure. I think what I liked most was how comfortable they were with each other. Unfortunately, all cannot be butterflies and roses in a story like this. I do hope you'll grow to love Delaur as well and I'm glad you find the other characters engaging. They do have their moments. Jacen sure makes me laugh!
Dark Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 You know it's Saturday, which means it's time for a new chapter. Also, when posting this chapter I realized I've forgotten to reply to last week's reviews, so I shall do that now.
Dark Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 Pleas pleas post another chapter... I need my fix! The new chapter has arrived!
Dark Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) You know, when I first wrote the sexy scenes in chapters 27-28, it was not received well. The folks who read it mostly told me that they 'didn't get it.' I remember looking at them and doing ... wtf? did you not read the preceding chapters all about being an incubus and feeding off emotions and ... and ... and?? I may have hyperventilated just a tiny bit. I must say I've been just so pleased about the reactions to the chapter now. I was quite nervous, actually. Thank you so very kindly to those who commented. Edited July 25, 2011 by Dark
Dark Posted July 28, 2011 Author Posted July 28, 2011 How do you feel about another picture? This one's of Alan and Kynan. Alan's adorable.
Dark Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Hey guys! Look at this! One of our own here on GA has gone and put a recommendation for Waylon's Crossing in a livejournal note. Pretty cool, eh? Thanks, Miko.
