I get to be first! Very Happy smiley face I've only read the first one (Gluttony) so far but it was great Space! Morindur is sinfully delicious. I love his one liner at the end too. Perfect little vignette. But now...I'm hungry. Shocked smiley face

Is gluttony supposed to give me girl wood? I don't think so. God damn Space, that was hawt! Your Witchking is...omg, blonde! How hawt is that? This is so well written, and so evocative. You always manage to conjure up this very gothic, but not at all campy image in my mind that reminds me of the amazing classic films like Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Rebecca. Just such an amazingly haunting feel. Okay, on to the next scene.

Gad, Speesh, this dude is so...yummy bad. You know how I love teh rotten ones. I was wondering how you would manage to make them all sexy like you wanted. Envy and gluttony gotta be the hardest and you pulled it off seamlessly. This is sooo good. More, going for more.

OMG Okay, that one is freaking tragic. Gad, there is...no flipping words. You've managed to make him cold and calculating, straight up hateful, and now sympathetic. All my favorite parts of the chicken so far. Dayum girl! I want to give him...ewwwwwwww... a hug. FFS Speesh, you're like schizzing my emotions. I feel unstable now. Let's go see what else.

hehe, in Greed, you see him really beginning to become the black hearted Witchking and I love the way you are handling the subtle transformation, making the reader long for him to just give all of this up and do the right thing.

That said, OMG! How much do I love your pimp daddy Celeborn and your Galadriel as Mata Hari. It gives them so much more dimension and makes one realize that above all else, Galadriel craved power for a very very long time. Though WK becomes more of a stage dressing in this one, by doing this, you have driven home powerfully, all of his insecurities and hang-ups and stated once more that he would take everything if given the chance. The sexual tension on his part, however, and the ice princess unthawing on hers was very sexy, sensuous stuff.

I think sloth is my favorite. I'll let you know when I read the last one. But what an brilliant way to depict the effects of the ring and the beginnings of regret and longing for a death that will never come. Instead of falling into the realm of the wraiths, he slides into it on a cloud of draining fatigue. Just beautiful, creative genius, Speesh. Reminds me of that old adage, 'The world will not end with a bang, but rather a whimper.' amazing stuff.

Gawd Speesh, he becomes increasingly tragic until the end, you just want to save him somehow. This entire work is sheer brilliance and you have impressed the pants off of me unlike with anything else you've done. Your writing is always superb by I am at a loss for words to describe how sad and frustrated this has left me feeling. This one is going to stay with me for a long time. Wonderfully awesome job, I'm beyond proud to be able to call you my friend, budness.

These are all powerful and evocative. I enjoy your writing, you have smooth pace and balanced descriptions - being emotional and visual, giving enough flavor without stopping the story. Well Done.

Envy - he's creepy. And ebol. But I guess, he's supposed to be. That was wickedly entertaining Space. Very creepy and Witch King'ish, setting the tone for his later attributes. Bravo. Twisted Evil smiley face

This is so very good. I've never thought I'd read something about the WiKi and feel delighted. Envy is my favourite one. Cree-pee. Well done.
