You're so divinely good...I just wanted to say thanks for the chance to read the stories you write. It's been nice.

So Morin has a bit of god in him. Damn cool. I'm going to reread the story at some point so I can fully gather everything...but once again, your world has everything!

This story gets twice as good with each new chapter! Every time I expect more of the same, and every time it's something new. I enjoyed the Farlain transformation, but was a little confused about it (was he utilizing that thing Morin's mother gave Morin?). That's probably just because the reading of My Son has been stretched out over a period of many months, waiting for updates - each of which is outstanding, by the way. If I read the finished product in one consolidated sitting, there would be no hazy misremembering of details.Also I read a heretofore unnoticed review that you wrote for my Jailbreak song in October or something. Sorry for not getting back to you! You were mostly right in your interpretation (as usual) and when you didn't get something, like the phrase "beat tattoo" it was simply because you probably haven't heard it before. That particular one just means to beat a rhythm. I wanted to convey a powerful sense of staccato walking-beat which the numerous prisoners are making. Mister Cop Bonanza was a very Beatle-ish thing I just felt like saying, and was supposed to show the lackadaisical attitude of the cops toward recapturing the prisoners. The idol profanes - used as a verb. Yes, it's connected to Christianity, and idols can't help but blaspheme: they're blasphemous! XD You only got off track at the end. The prisoners aren't dead. The Master refers to the old rhyme, Jimmy Crack Corn. Once again it's me trying to be funny. Sometimes I fail.And "the deities" just alludes collectively to organized religion, which the jailbirds defeated in their pragmatic atheism. Anyways, keep writing the superb things you write, and thanks for all the deep reviews (and all the fish - funny?)

Centaurs! I bow to your 1337ness! Hope they're uber sexy like the ones in Xanth. XD

Aw, is he really the nephew of that bastard? Good as usual. It's going to take me awhile to catch up, but I enjoy this story. By the way your reviews practically give me orgasms. You actually get my writing! That makes me smile.Uh, I'm no master in the French department, but since I like the notion of becoming a linguist I learn whenever I can. Keep on, Sharakin-chan.

I LOVED this chapter!

So tense, but I don't get lost! :)

And, in my latest blurb, I use "Morin" as a minor character, hope you don't mind. Not nearly the same child, I just like the sound.

Hooray for Farlain! Well, he did get his ass kicked, but he's still awesome. It'd be nice if he'd had secret fighting powers or something. These chapters are incredible. Morin's personality is absolutely believable.

Awesome chapter. That sounds like the kind of tea my mother would give me. Except hers would probably be worse.The idea of the king being an unnatural being is exquisite.

Hey, this wasn't bad. There were a few routine typos; the only one that really needs addressing is: "near the rice patties" (somewhere in the middle). It's paddies, not patties. Dialogue is always the author's deal, so I don't really know how to tip anybody on that score without taking the text in a perhaps undesired direction. The inclusion of native languages and colloquialisms is good here.

Oh I like how Farlain is still ambiguous. Just who IS that guy?! Some technical notes, you don't need the parentheses aren't 'Morin followed suit.." and I would change "I'll explain later" to something more in his accent. :)

Exciting...and the rain gives this scene such a nice, quiet feeling, which makes for a great contrast with the things Morin's finding out about his 'miang.' Great chapter. By the way I don't really have time now to tell about the intention behind that poem. Mebbe tomorrow; suffice it to say that it was both deeper than and not as deep as your ideas. The thoughts behind it were unconscious, almost like a mood, so I have to unravel complex concepts from what I was feeling.

Damn. I do all my reviewing at school so I didn't have time to get further than this, at least today. Anyway, great job in every respect! "Pomirus City had inhaled and choked upon a new industrial age." Lines like this are redolent of professionalism.

OH my gosH! I bet she sold him. :-D

I'm so behind on this! I saw you updated but I'm a few chappies behind. Can't wait to read more. :)

Since it's Monday, Orphans has been updated. I hope to see a pretty review LOL Thanks a lot!

Oh way to get fired. Very tense chapter! Again, I hate the cursing, not just because I don't curse, but in the story because they're modern curse words. They feel out of place with the setting. I'd make up your own for the story and somehow denote that they're curses, to be more authentic. Kind of the same complaint as the "Nosepicker" label, really.

Chapter 2 of Orphans is reposted. :)

Wow! Interesting! I haven't read this one yet. I dislike the children cursing but oh well. "Scotty Nosepicker" rubs me the wrong way, the name, I mean, but it's only his nickname. I wonder where this is going... cool characterizations and great descriptions mingled in. :)

FYI: I reposted Queen of the Orphans, I'm going to continue it because I'm crazy. LOL
