abuseHaving re-read this story for the umpteenth time, prompted by a listing from dansemacabre at the fangirl_tour LJ community, I must say...

I don't care what you have or don't have. If you deem it okay to ramble on for another 30 chapters, I don't give a damn. I will continue to read for eternity.

I've been drawn back tonight, into this wonderful world you've created with intrigue and mystery, political posturing and games, wondering 'will they or won't they?'

Do they save Toby or not? Do they avoid war or battle for ages? What about the prophecy? What is that all about? Do we see it come to pass or not?

While I'm incredibly sad to see all your 2nd characters killed off (Aethan, Owen, Caede - you are dearly cherished and dearly missed), I'm even sadder that the DPB have left you high and dry when it comes to this glorious fic. It has always been my inspiration when I needed something to sink my teeth into. (That and excellent red wine doesn't hurt, either.)

Bless you for what you have so far and consider me *squeeing* in ecstacy if the story gods should grant you more of this. As is, I'm feeling horribly bereft and empty. Just as I would imagine Jareth feels about his father.

And thank heavens his brothers banded with him, and not against him. That would be U-GLY.

Hooray for Sarah being a grown-up and Hooray for you not focusing everything on her when she shows up.

Now I must reluctantly part ways...for a time...and follow up with 'Dark Labyrinth' by Helen Fayle, the story that prompted me to do my own fanfics (w. sff. net/ people/ hsfayle/ Labyrinth.htm). It's incomplete on FF, but she has the full posted there. The only fic that compares to yours and two of the best stories I've ever read.

*bows* THANK YOU.

abuseNO!
DO NOT WANT!

This is one of the best, the one I thought, if any, could boot FoD and share its glory. It makes me sad, because this story has always been one of the most inspiring ones to read as I write. But on the other hand, I do, grudgingly, understand.

abuse*growl* You finally bring Sarah's character to the point where I have an inkling of hope that she's possibly grown up enough to handle Jareth with some finesse... and you discontinue the fic. Mou.

I understand when the bunnies go AWOL; I hope that you will continue to write in your other fandoms.

abuseI was very sorry to hear you've discontinued the story, as it is one of my all-time favorites at FFnet, but I understand the situation you're in. Sometimes a story just seem to want to move anywhere, despite an author's poking and prodding. It's frustrating as hell, and difficult to step away.

Best wishes, and I look forward to seeing other writings from you in the future. You're way too talented for even a massive case of writer's block to stop you completely. :)

abuseYour situation is understandable and familiar (at least to me). It can become virtually impossible to feel motivated to continue or finish a story. Maybe one day you'll feel differently, but until then... this is a story. It's a work of fiction that you have submitted for readers to enjoy but at one time you enjoyed it as well. If you no longer enjoy it, well, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. If you do get any complaints, reviewers railing against you for leaving this unfinished, take it with less than a grain of salt. It happened to me recently, and it pissed me off. I was far more appreciative of the many supportive reviewers who had a decent attitude about the whole thing. For cripes sake, this isn't a job. Writers don't get compensated for fan fiction.

abuseI find it sad that you cannot come up with any other ideas for this story, but I thank you for a most enjoyable read!

Maybe in time the idea will come, or you will be inspired too create another story!


Again thank you for an excellent story!

abuseThat's really disappointing, this was one of my favorites. You've got an awesome style here and I really enjoyed reading everything up until this point, sucks for lack of inspiration. Oh no, now I'm looking back and really remembering how much I incredibly enjoyed this story! Damn, this would be so much easier if you were a horrible writer and I hated this story, well, good luck with everything else. Luckily I read more than your Labyrinth fiction, but I still really hope that one day it catches your fancy again.

abuseOkay, I know this is on hiatus, but I am going to check it periodically until it gets going again. Then I am going to check it religiously. Your story is tangled, realistic and just alien enough to be entrancing. The love/distrust/loyalty issues are very well written, as well as Sarah having no clue what she's done to the fae's careful games. This is professional writing, and I will await the next chapter as eagerly as I have waited for the next Harry Potter.

abuseDearest LadyRhiyana,


Please come back from hiatus. This story is too compelling to leave it in such an unfinished way. So well written and intensely intricate.


I might also add that I--personally--am eager to see more.

Best wishes!

abuseI know this is on hiatus, but I do hope you'll continue it. You're a wonderfully evocative writer, and this is far too good to be left unfinished, particularly given the stubborn mediocrity of most of the work posted here.

abuseOh please. You must update!! This is an amazing story. No one goes out of character at all, your grammar usage is superb and it is altogether an extremely addicting story. please you must update!

abuse"But – how did you find the beauteous Lucrezia’s ball, my dear readers?"

I had to go outside for a cigarette - and I don't smoke! Phew.

Your whole story has me "entrangled" in its wonderful web, and even though I know it is on hiatus, I can't wait for more!

Brilliant!
