    Now that I actually have a bit of time to sit down and think That vacation was far too long..., I suppose it's time to stop being a snob and start actually replying to my fanbase.

    Luckily, I'm saving the biblical manner for heaven and, specifically, God. There's no way I could write like that all the time. Plus, looking back at it, I can barely tell I actually did it. It barely looks any different than my normal writing.

    So far, that seems to be my only strength. For now, I'm glossing over characters, since we only have one important character, and the second isn't even born yet. Not to mention, in the sets for most of what I'm writing, I don't even have anything in mind. I'm not even going to try to tell you guys what heaven's like, and I have no idea what a living alien planet would look like. So I have terrible character development, character interaction, dialogue, story telling... Pretty much the only thing I have going for myself is that I can talk fancy.

    I'm glad the effort I'm putting in to the story (at least that first chapter that you read when you wrote this) is evident. I tend to go over what I write about five times to make sure I'm telling the reader everything he should have learned from this chapter.

    I'm glad I was able to portray the general plot of the story in the first chapter. This, right here, is pretty much Zorael's personality and motivation in a nut shell. So if I was able to give that impression right off the bat, then I did a good job.

    He's okay. He can figure things out. He's a smart omnipotent spirit.

    "At his feet slithered snakes and spiders. All around him were prowling beasts. Behind him, great monsters stomped the ground. All had black bodies and red, glowing eyes."
    Niiiice. This is a delicious bit of imagery.

    You're getting into some pretty heady stuff. I commend you for your bravery in describing some of the super-science/super-spiritual stuff going on here.

    Keep it coming!

    Let me tell you, writing for God is downright scary. I feel like I'm going to get smoten I'm pretty sure that's a word for getting any detail wrong.

    And, thank you for your commendation. The imagery is really one of the biggest things I want to share. I've gotten tired of everything always taking place in the same places. So I want to try my best to, if nothing else, paint imaginative pictures for the reader. I want to be able to tell my reader "You remember earth, right? Yeah, this isn't it." Which, as it turns out, is pretty hard.

    I should probably ask, did you catch what was really going on in that possession scene? I probably left it too vague, or didn't put enough detail in to it. I'm planning on making it clear in one of my future possession scenes.
    I'd explain it clearer if I had to, but I'd be a bad writer if I had to explain anything outside of the source material.

    This is refreshingly unique and I love the format. It's also kinda satisfying my old desire to see you finish up that old plotline you had going for your Champions Online characters forever ago, which has nothing to do with this of course but I always wanted to see what you'd do with a creative idea. Despite there being a lot of dialogue I've found your story very easy to follow so far and your descriptions are eloquent and enjoyable.

    The imagery is indeed awesome too. Pretty awesome that you hold as much talent for language as you do for your music. Keep it up!

    I'm glad to hear that people are enjoying it. Though I wanted to get this story out here, I probably wouldn't be working this hard if nobody was reading it.

    Yes. Nothing at all. The two stories aren't connected whatsoever. Not one bit.

    Not bad for someone who can't talk, eh?

    Don't get me wrong, angelic groupies are amusing, but a creator god admitting that he was pretty much winging it when he was creating humanity is just priceless to me.
