Comment :   After reading the Dark Icon guest book I thought, "Why not?" Thus here is is, a place to post comments on the Rapina/Pedigree stories. If you are reading this, then I must have finally got it working :)

Comment :   I've liked these stories so far. Keep up the good work! Personally, I'm sorta routing for Nathaniel in any conflict between him, blaymore, and zade (last two being from darkicon) but feel somewhat guilty about it ...

Favorite Rapina/Pedigree Chapter(s) :   their is no such thing as a less important part of the body so their is no lesser part of the story----wize quote form some sage type dude.
Comment :   Pedigree is pretty good the writing is better that rapina I think. But rapina way cooler any day.... now whens the next episode due?

Comment :   Rapina started quite well, then it lost a lot of consistency, it became more "What would be the reasonable thing for this character to do?" and less "I am the character, what will I do?". Anyway, if Rapina is a cold person you are doing right. It is bette

Comments -fill box only- :   Okay, for Eduardo whose message got cut off by the geo code. I am sorry if Rapina seems a little cold lately. Earlier she was in more one on one scenes so her warmth

Comments -fill box only- :   I thought i'd add a thought on Rapina's char. development. Although overall it makes sense, esp. given Thane's char., I think more depth could be added through a flaw or
, :   weakness. Not a tragic flaw, but perhaps some sort of limit (ex: magic strength) that forces char. development other than increasing independance and self-reliance.

Comments -fill each box w/o overflow- :   I am still experimenting trying to get the Geo code to give us more room for messages, but so far filling two boxes without overflowing them to any appreciable degree appears to give

Comments -fill each box w/o overflow- :   I'd like to hear more detail on what you are saying, Stephen. The fact that these geo guest book messages have to be so small leaves your post confusing to me.

Comments -fill each box w/o overflow- :   She might wish she could get magic armor, but that requres more than smiths; that requires mages, and is out of anyone she knows' price range :)

Comments -fill each box w/o overflow- :   Wow, Land of Desolation is very good. Despite its disappointingly short length -- I'd have prefered several hundred pages worth of update :) it was engaging and

Comments -fill each box w/o overflow- :   Thanks a bunch for your encouraging comments, Stephen. I think most of the reason I continue to write is because of my wonderful readers. I did a quick edit on Land of Desolation.

Comments -fill each box w/o overflow- :   Thank you Eduardo. Encouraging readers keep me writing. This part has been difficult. Too make later parts you have not seen run smoother, I had to revise/add to the little blurbs where

Comments -fill each box w/o overflow- :   Sigh ... well, the story was very well written but it has a definite flaw. You see, its not finished ... a significant problem. I think Rapina should

Comments -fill each box w/o overflow- :   On a side note about the latest update, when Rapina has to strike Dorety of her list, she swears "a blue streak." I suppose that I just might never have heard the

Comments -fill each box w/o overflow- :   Thank you Stephen for your kind remarks about the Sable episode. Positive feedback is definitely what keeps me writing. Hmm, swearing a blue streak may be an idiomatic phrase
