Absolute genius

LOVED this one too. Quick question though, do you speak french? Like did you take it as your language in school. Yay for getting into Yale.

Opera in gold review, I love the way you describe the language and the sultry old era atmosphere.
*It's the thrill of getting caught, not the accompanying anxiety, that impels people to the extremes of human audacity* Interesting line.
You have a great of articulation.
*She's ... Oh, I didn't mean it like that. I'll have it so every woman falls under my charm ... except the ugly ones and my sister ... and the old ..." that made me laugh.
The explaination was thorough and clear, well done on a good metaphoric novelette.

I just wanted to let you know how much I do adore this story. I haven't yet tired of reading it every month or so. And I LOVE the way you turned an ancient parable (I think that's the word I want to use) into a more 'modern' version. The first time I read it, I thought "OH! That was clever!". I can't wait to read more of your work.

Hi V! Marvelous--I thought you had forgotten the Opus in Coloure. Keep it coming, E.

Darling dear! You have not updated in so long, why?! This story so far is spectacular, and I swear I will die if you do not update! It's filled with lovely words that literally make my literary toes curl with excitement! Do update soon, for the sake of everyone reading, and waiting!

XD

Great story! I am waiting for the next chapter! Keep writing!

This story is very well-written; the descriptive portions are lushly detailed and your adjectives are brilliantly chosen. I am a little confused, though, about the ending. I wonder - is he distressed in the end because he cannot seduce La Comtesse de Charteau so easily, or because he has made an idle wish and now cannot expand it? Perhaps, too, there is another explanation; or perhaps you created ambiguity intentionally, which is, of course, your prerogative. Anyway, I quite liked this story; I found it very interesting and artistically satisfying. Thanks for a great read!

Brava! Magnificent. I loved it.

be very very careful with the french, if you get it wrong it will be very obvious and will look unprofessional

so... it's "ma cherie" because it's female

if it was a man he was saying it to it would be "mon cheri"

also, the swapping from english to french is hard to get right, so instead of "The Comtesse de Chartreau wish me give this you, monsieur." maybe

"La Comtesse de Chartrea wishes me to give this to you..."

also it should be le Comte D'Argentile not "de Argentile"

Happy New Year, V! I've been really busy lately and school starts tomorrow. Poor Flavie pining for that wretched man! Hopefully she won't be hurt too entirely. Good job, E.

Hey V! Magnificent, that was simply magnificent. The title shimmered with promise and the chapter made good on every one. Happy New Year, E.

But don't Heer-y anything, Raul! Ha-ha! It was marvelous V, truly inspiring. Keep up the good work, E.

Hello V, what an alluring concept. Now tell me, is this a sequel or a companion to Opera in Red? You did a great job, E.
