And the plot thickens. Dum dum dum dum… whishing you all the best until next time.

I love Holden. Like, I'm going to start a cult or something. But I still missed Roan. And you are so right to say that Dylan is too kind for this world. And that everyone need vacations and a hug. I think that I love you too actually. So long as you keep writing that is =P

hey! good chapter. update soon!

I liked how you focused more on Dylan and the helplessness he feels. After all we often have Roan's macho view on the subject but it must be really tough to be Dylan. At the same time, without Dylan there would be no more Roan.

hey that was a good chapter lol update soon!

Fair enough, Killian, and maybe I was too subtle here.

Scott gives nothing but orders in this chapter, and it's safe to assume he ordered everyone to follow his lead: he knew Roan was in poor shape, so he was going to sober him up and distract him. Mission accomplished. He is, as Grey points out, very bossy.

As for not reacting to him being wasted ... I think it's fair to say, having shown them out bar hopping as a group, that they wouldn't think much of him being wasted. They've been there themselves, and probably think that's the most normal thing about Roan. (Although none of them are good judges of normal. Well, maybe Jeff ...)

the falkons really are something. And that bit:

“We saw what those ** did to your house,” Grey said, as Tank brought him a plate with three large slices of pizza. “You get us a name, we'll pay 'em a visit.”
“Literally all of us,” Jeff said, handing him a can of Pepsi. “We'll just pull up the team bus and pile out at three in the morning, half drunk and ** off 'cause we're on the damn bus again.”
Roan couldn't help but chuckle at the mental image of that. “That would scare someone.”
“A buncha disgruntled hockey players on your lawn? It better. Wait 'til we insist on using their bathroom.”

Took me by surprise to the point where I started cackling madly in front of my computer. I am forever gratefull to have my own room or my family would think that I am insane. Surprising though how accepting they are. They see that he is wounded, that he is stoned but they don't react to it which leave me frustrated because I find that reactions from other characters to the main character's weirdness are often one of the most interesting thing in a story. It gives you so many clues on the MC, especially when the POV is centered on him and we only have his opinion as main indicator of how he is perceived (for exemple Roan is suicidal but he doesn't see it this way, though he shows it by his actions, so when Dylan first mentioned it it made it real for me in a way that all of Roan's lack of self-preservation couldn't. What can I say, I'm the kind of person who need everything spelled out for them.)

Strange I missed a chapter though I'm on alert list… ho well.
More important, I think Roan finally reached the lowest he could stand to get to. I'm sad for him, as in, ready to let tears though I know that he is only a story character. That's very impressive of you to have people so touched by a story (I talked with a friend who said she started crying for real when Paris died) and it's strange because it really takes a lot to have me cry usually (movies are easier because the music get to me far more easily than plot or picture so no music no tears but writing… it doesn't happen often). Of course, the moode in this story make a lot for the whole greatness of it but the depressivness is starting to get to me too.Though I admire you for creating a character like Roan who is aways on the edge between the monster and the human and is always questionning himself. There are no definite answer, never, and you get the more somber aspect of the "supehero" dilema and the questionning as to what is human and what isn't. I really admire your work for that (and for creating Holden :P ).
And thank you for your email, I also like talking about writing so I was really happy to have your view on things (now I won't esitate to burry you under questions). Speaking of which, I was wondering what made you think of the virus in the first place ad how you went about creating Roan. He is trully a very impressive character.

wow lol depressing chapter. i liked it tho!

Great first chapters!! Poor Roan, everything seems to happen to him. I loved the interview and how the reporter has a man crush XD I also like that Roan can freely admit that he loves Dylan. I hope that he can also learn to love himself. Will he really end being a lion? And.. things are surely going horrible... I can imagine why people would like to kill the werecats if their family or friends had been killed or hurt by them... and why many people fear them. But I don't think it is right to kill someone for something they didn't choose, they can't help what happens to them (I don't even think we should kill guilty ones). And in Roan's case... he hates what he is. Hope you update soon! :)

It's getting darker. The mood is slowly turning toward outright depressing. But Tank's apparition brightened it by reminding us how popular Roan is amongst certain circles. That hockey team is one of the greatest addition to the story (after my beloved Holden), how did you come up with them? Actually did you have the whole outline for all the stories planned or do you just write what comes to you? Do you have characters in advence that you know you will introduce in later stories? And about Roan's jobs? Do the story serve them or do they serve the story?

I could so imagine Dee giving instruction to the rest of the EMT team "Whenever you're at a crime scene involving cats, if you see a guy with hair a strange color who play badass and who manage to ** everyone off, that's Roan, you take care of him, he thinks he's some kind of superhero but he always get himself in trouble."

Bad. I wonder why Dylan said he was infected, after all, Roan was already enough of a reason… or maybe he wanted Hardy off his case. Good chapter. I loved the tidbits we got from the interview.

This is going epic. I didn't know it could reach such levels of angst and get so near the end of the world yet remain so realistic. Roan is scaring me though, I'm starting to wonder how long he'll be able to keep on going without commiting suicide or doing something really awfull. I have a bad feeling that it can't end well for him and I don't like it. But I'm counting on you to prove me wrong.

It absolutely baffles me that this series has so few reviews! I've recently finished reading up to this point (and I love how fast you've been updating, especially with such great chapters), and I won't hesitate to say that this is by far one of the best things I've read on FictionPress. All the characters are so well developed, and the plot just grabs me and pulls me right in.
