Now that's a challenge. As I can't manipulate those stories directly. I guess when I have reworked the all, I'll send eight word files to GA ...

 

 

Why can't you edit the stories here? They're yours, right? You're listed as author, so you should be able to edit, even if they are now in the Premium category.

I hate authors who use the all is but a dream ploy. I just hate it.

 

Now you are way beyond this level with layers of reality beyond (meta, literally) layers of reality. You seriously fucked my mind up, since I started to doubt my own world. Thanks.

 

But the interjection of Colt's alternative life in Dallas is really touching, full of subtle and repressed emotions.

Too kind. Corrected them (except 12, 14, and 48). Prompt words will come tomorrow - you have right of first refusal!.

I guess I'll add you to the list of people who hate me ... shall I assign you a number? ;-)

 

MetaReality indeed ... except book 9 would be called MetaAlternate if it ever sees the light ...

 

Thanks for reading! And correcting! And inputting! (The prompt off stands.)

Oh, you should have seen my huffing anger after Book 1. I swore to not read another line. I really don't like the Bobby in the shower thing either. 

 

Then I saw the light and realised Meta is different and the layers so complex. Now, in hindsight, I'm so happy I stayed with this story. Colt and his wolves have made me cry several times, but also given me so much.

I do have to agree the 'it was all a dream' mechanic really really really drives me nuts with some stories. Still there is the rare story where although you have that mechanic at play they actually use it well.

 

Spoiler

I'm putting this in a spoiler tag since it is spoilers for all the newer people who haven't read all the books yet either on Amazon or here on GA.

 

MetaWolf is one of those rare stories that takes the 'it was all a dream' mechanic and not only uses it well but uses it in such a way that we really don't know if it was a dream or if it was something else. I've commented earlier in the ranting about the different 'Universes of Meta' how there were 4 distinct realities that could be looked at the Wolf Verse, the Wedding Verse, the Asylum Verse and the Nano/Trek Verse.  JAR has written MetaWolf in such a way that although it ends on a specific hint of reality we don't actually know for sure if that is true or not. It is actually up to the reader to decide what their reality is. Is it all the dilussion of a mental patient in the Asylum Verse? Was everything a Simulation in the Nano/Trek Verse? Was it a story written by a guy in the Wedding Verse? Is everything real and Colt taps into the different Realities as a job of Fate in the Wolf Verse?

 

I listed two quotes a while ago now and they still hold true.

 

“Every story has a happy ending. If it is not happy, then it is not over yet.”

 

"If you want a happy ending, it just depends on where you close the book!"

 

 

 

On another note I've figured out who Iove is from one of the Deprivation Prompts!

We didn't get any prompt words ... so @athanos your right of first refusal needs to be delayed to next week ...

 

In the meanwhile I have two (un)prompts my readers could choose from tonight: Doms (Prime, Brian, Isaac, Colt) or Teen (CE, Warren).

That is so hard to pick between. You have 4 vs 2. The titles then make you wonder about things and what the twists could be, Doms and Teen. Teen could be well anytime perhaps while they are young in the then Mt Patterson pack or them with some other Teenage character like oh Forest? Doms I have no idea what it could be in regards to.

I felt bad for Chris in the Wine prompt. I'd like to read about Chris joining the harem, even if only in an alternative universe.

@athanos. Thanks for your diligence. I've implemented all corrections in my masterfile (except: 15, 24, 33, 38).

 

Intriguing MetaDeprivation idea. Let's hope for good stimulus; and that my twisted mind can twist that prompt idea Meta-style!
