 January Gray 2007-02-21 . chapter 4I feel smart because I think I know why you named the chapter "Sharon." Huzzah for smartness, heh. You told me that you think this is one of your weaker pieces (I believe I'm paraphrasing) but I think it's wonderfully inventive, ressurecting old gods in the modern world and watching them kick our postmodern asses. Your research is excellent and you manage to acheive strong characterization with every story. I will be reading this one as long as you'll write it.
Peace.

 January Gray 2006-12-29 . chapter 1This is so...words are failing me, so let's just go with stupendous. Yep, that about sums it up. I love the concept and I love the specific examples, Christina is a well-fleshed out character for such a short time and the Erinyes are genuinely creepy. You've obviously done your research, which I respect, and you've applied it creatively. This is definitely a project I would love to see continued.
Just two little notes though. One, you don't need the apostrophe in Gods, and it probably shouldn't be capitalized since polytheistic pantheons don't usually get the capitalization that the monotheistic ones insist upon. Also, I don't know what your experience with Wicca is, but in mine (which is fairly limited and mostly academic) you won't find veneance spells because of the Threefold Law and the Wiccan Rede, which decrees "And it harm none, do as you will." But those are just little things and this really is a great story. |
