There you go don't let them get you down.

I am sorry but those certain few whom know who they are but I will not name should keep to themselves. We have our own different voices for what we want our characters to do and be. And should get a life if they can spend hours on here charting how often a person updates.

Looking forward to a new chapter.

I adore your story and think it's very well written. I hate that people are sending you mean reviews saying this and that about your story, personally I think they are probably jealous because you do have loyal followers. Please keep it up because there people who love this story, myself included. There is a site called MediaMiner.org, there you can post stories that have more of a sexual content. Keep posting up new chapters, I cant wait to find out what happens next!

I don't think that you should worry about what other people think. I know that you want people to like your story and there are those that really do. But for those that don't, they don't HAVE to read it. they choose to and that is there own right. I feel that if they don't like a particular story then they shouldn't read it. People have different desires, not everyone is the same. If you knew HALF the stories they looked at you might be like "oh my god! what's wrong with you?" and that's ok b/c everyone can do whatever the hell they want. I don't think that you should worry about these rediculous people that put your story down. If they have constructive criticism then that's different, but if they are just bashing your story, then they shouldn't be reading it in the first place. Your story clearly has a description (a pretty accurate one) that they can view without even opening the story. They CHOOSE to read your story like I said, don't let them get to you. They can say what they want to and whatever, but their opinions shouldn't matter to you. I know that it is upsetting and bothersome but just think about it this way. If they did read your entire story or even just the first chapter, you drew them in with SOMETHING and it's because you're a good writer. Don't let crazy people get to you. I hope this makes you feel better. Even if it's only just a little.

I haven't looked at any dates on this story. I just read it. I think it's really good. I took time out of Obsidian Butterfly to finish what is here, so far. I really like it. I guess this person "FLAMING" you is a professional. Well, he/she must not do a lot of reading, because I personally have read any number of books that have been published that don't come close to being as exciting as yours. So you don't have a beta, you're going to have some mistakes, some "where's" instead of "were's"; some broken thoughts. That's something that's a given. But if you try to edit yourself then you run into making too many changes and, like you said, drawing out the update times and you don't need to do that unless you're going to publish. Even in elementary school they test how well you can complete a thought in a story or a sentence. It's not hard to understand what you meant to type. Sometimes writing just comes from a place in your head and heart so fast words get jumbled, but I can't really imagine anyone with intelligence being that confused. Sorry you're getting flamed, although like I said, I haven't even looked at the dates; just read your comments. Hopefully, I don't go back and find this story hasn't been updated for 2 years. Man, I just hate when that happens. Anyway, take heart and don't let the naysayers get you down. There are always a few bad apples in the barrel. Unfortunately, we have to live with them. Look at it this way: At least you don't have to see them in the flesh! Oh yeah, I can't imagine what anyone would have to report you about. I didn't see anything wrong with what you wrote. You're entitled to your opinion, just like your (what to call he/she) enemy? is. Good grief. If they don't like the story, just don't read it and if they don't read it then there's no reason to review, unless of course, they're just trying to start a war. You know, some people thrive off of negativity. If you don't see me review, know that I have had surgery on both hands and elbows and don't have much feeling, except pain!, in most of my fingers. Hence, the mistakes and lack of reveiws. I'll be paying for typing this later on. Anyway, cheers and keep up the good writing. Don't let them make you doubt your talent. It's there. This story proves it.

Another amazing chapter! I can't wait to see what happens next! And btw don't let anyone bring you down! You are a FANTASTIC writer and one of the best original story tellers on this site. Stay true to your craft girl!

your story is the one of 4 originals that i read on AFF

but if you're looking for another site
for originals try looking at

fictionpress.com

I’m thinking of putting my story up there too.

Don’t take it to heart about how others feel about you story

likes and dislikes are subjective and the only control you have

over the flames is by deleting them.

Ok. I don't have time to give a length review right now, but I just want you to know that I do really like chapter 20. I think I could eat up Enfer and Myron from the descriptions you gave. Nice job on those. I'm still mulling over the info from the Goddesses and I'll give a review later concerning that. It will be lengthy.

As for other sites... I haven't found another like this one. I am part of Fanfiction.net, but it is strictly fanfics. Not original stories like these here. I've looked and haven't found anything else so far. Just try not to take the criticism personally and keep writing. Many readers here seem to like this story and we want to keep reading more. Maybe try to edit once between updates or do the editing the same time you do the updating. Just a suggestion. But please don't move the story.

Hi there, first, excellent story, excellent chapter. Love the descriptions of the men - growl.

Second, I totally understand your frustration. I watched in absolute horror what happened over the weekend. Unfortunately, as a writer, you are sensitive, I totally understand, I am the same way, I have a beta reader who has helped me too many times to count when things got rough for me. All I can say is that you have a following, and especially for this site, which is not as well read as some others, that is a huge thing. You get good and consistent reviews, and to that end, there will always be those that cannot handle it, and will try to tear you down. It is just a fact. I don't know about another site that does originals this way unless you want to check out fictionpress, but you will have to check for the ratings. Please stick with it though, realize that those who are worrying and reporting you are doing it out of some jealousy, or bizarre need to feel better about themselves rather than trying to give you constructive criticism about your story. You are a wonderful writer, you have created your own world, and you will do great. Try to brush off the nay sayers for exactly what they are.

I don't know of any other places like aff. Don't let negative people get you down. As long as you know you have a good story, thats all that matters. I don't see how someone can say that you don't take this story seriously. By posting this story you put yourself out there for people's critisism of your own origional ideas, so how could you not take this seriously!? As for being an "attention whore" think that is just stupid. Of course you want reviews and feedback about your story! Thats the whole point of putting a story up on AFF! I can't believe that someone reported you. What did they report you for? "This author is asking for reviews! Kick them off!" As far as I know, there is no rule against asking for reviews. Also if they think your story is 'so-so', that is their own opinion. If you don't like it, don't read it!Anyway, sorry for the long rant. Its just that all my favorite authors are getting harassed to the point where they stop writing their stories. You are the third one in the past month! I hope I have given you a little more confidence. I know that their are a lot of people out there who really like your story and would love for you to continue.

PS. I can't wait for Enfer's story! He's just SO sexy in the new chapter!

Another great chapter.

As to that person who said you only edit to move your story to the top. I say shove it in your ear. If somone wants to edit their story then its their buisness. Its not your fault that when you edit it goes up to the top. As for other storys having twice what you do. Thats a load. I have lost count of the stories that have only one chapter then nothing cause the author has abandoned the story. Your story is basickly 35+ chapters before your edit. Thats way more than those. I think this person is just some loser whose stories arn't as popular as yours is and wants to trash you.

Keep up the great work. Evertime I see another chapter has been put on I jump for joy.
