I just wanted to say that I really liked all of you ladies stories(Yes, Dymm is a girl now).

For Dymm's, I just have no idea why I liked it so much. I guessed what was going on in the middle of the story, but that just made it like fifty times cooler since I realized it and thought of how the two chars must be thinking. Dymm showing some semblance of compassion, even though he's killing the poor girl, and the girl being all wide-eyed and innocent, even though she's being killed. Good stuff!

NightShade's story amused me a lot. I liked the contrasting nature of some of the words in various sentences. It gave me a feeling of a sort of chaotic rhythm to the character, that I liked. I also liked the subtle, vampiric sexual undertone. I think a lot of times when people write vampiric sort of things, they go a bit overboard in just how sexual they make the writing. The way you portrayed it, using various intriguing words, really got the point across well to me. When you mixed the 'pleasure and pain' in that one sentence, and 'hedonistic' in the other sentence, it just seemed to portray my opinions of vampiric tendencies well. Mixing those things with the thoughts about strength, wisdom, power, etc. Just all went well together!

Xandria's story was rather awesome, too. I could be totally wrong, but I imagined some horribly cute and attractive woman being deadly and girly at the same time. The random musings about the pink in the bottle while burying the person alive gave me some really interesting mental imagery. Then the character just goes off to continue her thoughts, acting as if burying someone alive is just the most commonplace thing in the world. So awesome..

Just wanted to give you guys a "Good job!" and what I got out of your stories and why I liked them =D

Dymmsir... I still... Uhh... Sorta have ACE. It is on a closed account. You might be able to outvote me, but I somehow doubt it :/ Don't know if you want it back, though I think you have Emissary, at the very least.

Wait, wtf. Why are you back?

Wow thankyou, I appreciate your input. That Shade post in general took alot of time. It was hard to convey whta I wanted.

I appreciate the compliment and am really flattered!

Xandria is cute and girly but deadly she does that well, as for shade she is chaotic hahhaha and far to reckless for her own good.

No, Dymm is not back. I just occasionally post here to keep you all paranoid that you might be next. So don't worry about the guild, Steve. If UO does one of those "Free week back for veterans!" promotions, though, someone please let me know and perhaps I'll stop by to say hello.

Thank you for the feedback, Alex and also hello! It's been a long time since I spoke to you. But, yeah, part of the reason I post stories here sometimes is just to practice creative writing so I do appreciate your comments.

If you check your e-mail, sometimes they send 7 day 'codes' instead of the free week back. I guess I have a few of those stored up, and might use them sometimes.

But yeah, you missed the free week back they did about 2 weeks ago.
