Those who feast at night

[Rongar]

Wow, nice job!
Sinbad has a plan! No matter how silly or suicidal it seems, it always seems to work!
I can't wait for more!

[banmaixanh]

Wow, it's very interesting. I like your idea with Kane kissed Maeve to save her. And with how Crimson treats Maeve, I wish I could kill him myself. I just feel a bit funny when Maeve felt pleasing when she was bitten. If I were her I would cry out loud, at least to make them annoyed. ;D

[Fireland]

Thanks for your nice comments

Well, I thought of her reaction to the biting as something so overwhelming, that you just can't help but feel when it happens. Is this case, I thought of mosquitos. You know how those little monsters bite you and you don't realize it because it freezes your skin ? And it itches and hurt like hell afterwards ? I thought at human scale, it had to be something like that, so the prey would hold still, and wouldn't struggle too much, allowing the predator to drink their blood easily.

Hihi, I had fun with pics ^_^

[banmaixanh]

Ahh, I understand. Hihi. Well, I must admit that your description made me feel hurt at my wrist. I felt cold and my skin was goosy like it happened to me when I read your description. Well, I have a very imaginative brain.

Hihi, I had fun with pics

What pics? Did you talk to me?
Btw, I like your signature. It's beautiful. I means the pic at your signature. (I don't know what you call it)

[Fireland]

I added pics after each chapter's title. I think they represent each chapter quite well. Go take a look on page 1

Well imagination is great I'm happy my writing was good enough for you to be able to imagine the feeling of the biting on your wrist, hehe. I think that's the fun part of reading books, of any kind. Feeling the story. Being mad at a character's behavior, feeling sad for a character, laughing at what they say, etc. I love when a book or text can bring up such emotions when I read it

It's really not a good feeling. hehe.

About the pics: I saw them. They're beautiful and fit each chapter a lot. And the first one really scared me when I turned back to page 1.

[Fireland]

Hahaha. This is from a RPG game called Vampire: The Masquerade. Used to play when I was a teen

Yayyyyyy, I finally found the time to read your fic, Fire. And I must say it's amazing!!! Had me hooked to it the whole time. So thrilling! I love the crew's interactions and how there is no awkwardness whatsoever between them although they were a year apart. And with Kane turning out to be their ally you give the story a very nice touch!

Hope you'll get to finish this one, Fire. 'Caus I really, really like it.

[Fireland]

Thank you ;D ;D ;D I'm glad you liked it.

Yes, don't worry, I have the next two final chapters roughly drafted. I even have a sequel planned, which I'll have to subdivide in 2-3 fanfics My mind had been musing like crazy in january, litteraly every song I listened to gave me ideas, and I have written down some parts to remember it when I find time to properly work on the fanfics.

Lately my mind has been preoccupied with what happened between me and my boyfriend, university, etc. And I must say, I'm SOOOOO bad when it comes to practical solutions, involving one of Firouz's inventions. So I'm not sure how I'll manage to make the story work and how the crew will really resolve this, but it's almost there. *Hopes her inner Firouz helps her find a solution, hehehe *

[Doubar]

I definitely do! ;D And you're most welcome.

Yayyyy, sounds awesome. Can't wait for them to be posted (no pressure though! I'm a patient reader, knowing myself how long it can take to get down to writing something although you have it already planned out, argh!). ^^
Aha, and sounds like more is in store for us then. Awesome!!!!!!

Aw, and sure, I do understand completely. Life is more important than any fiction anyway. So no apologies needed. *hugs*
Haha, well, you could always ask *our* Firouz then. Maybe she has some great ideas.* ;D

*No kidding! You wouldn't be the first one to brainstorm on a troublesome part of their fic together with the DL - crew.

[Fireland]

The problem I have is that I tend to value more the relationships between the characters, than the ''action'' behind it, the adventure. But every episode of AoS brings a new challenge, a new adventure, so if I want to keep the AoS spirit, the story has to involve more than just feelings and relationships, and that is not what I think about first. As an example, I'm already 2 years further in the next fanfics (from the moment when Maeve was back on the Nomad), but I still haven't thought about what magical challenge will Maeve face ? What other adventures, challenge, enemies will they meet ? How will they solve it ?

Unfortunately, it's always secondary when I write something, so I might eventually end up asking for your help to put more to the story than just ''how do their feelings evolve''

[Doubar]

inddancOoh, I know exactly what you're speaking of, Fire. Because I, too, prefer to focus on relationships rather than on action. I'm not exactly good at writing the latter either which is how I ended up to writing mainly one-shots in the past. However, I realize it's nice to have an adventurous fic to read so I, too, try my best at getting some action into what I create.
But you know, had you not pointed it out to me, I would have never guessed you prefer that as well. Because "Those who feast at night" has such a brilliant mixture of both - it's really good stuff and in perfect balance IMO.

but I still haven't thought about what magical challenge will Maeve face ? What other adventures, challenge, enemies will they meet ? How will they solve it ?

Awww, I'm sure you'll find a nice task that you can set on them. And with continuing two years in the future you could have Maeve's powers evolved already which sounds very interesting to me.

Haha, and like I said: no problem. You can just open a thread here in the ff.net area then, or you can use the Fanfic Ideas & Sniplets thread and get rid of your ideas and questions there: distandlands.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fanfic&action=display&thread=278&page=1

[Fireland]

Thank you

For Those who feast at night, it all started as an idea (Maeve being somehow related to the vampires) and I had to think about the plot as I was writing it, because when I had the idea for this fic, it was actually focussed on the Maeve and Sinbad reunion. The rest developed later, as I strarted writing and thinking ''how did she get herself into that situation ? what are the vampires' motivations ? how will they get her out of there ?''. I haven't solved everything, and I definitely plan on giving you more info about how she actually landed there in the first place (she was supposed to be safe with DimDim after all )

[Doubar]

Nothing to thank me for. Just telling you what I think.

Aw, and that sounds awesome. Usually, when I start a story I first think up what to do with it. It may lack some details that I add to the plot while writing, but I do know the general course this is about to take and also who will be there in it and why. But actually, I guess it's much more fun to write a fic as it develops.
Ooooh, and the suspense. ;D Actually I didn't know you would stay this true to the series. I guess I just thought you'd create an "what if DimDim hadn't intervened" but knowing you actually keep that for the fic I'm even more eager now to get to know what happened. My, you definitely know how to keep your readers on their toes. ;D
