aw i'm totaly bummed! I was looking forward to it, but I guess your reason is pretty...valid.

Happy (other) writing!

XoXo

in response to your apology, perhaps you could just upload the sequel onto your own website, with a disclaimer, or elaborate author's note? I'd hate for anything to not happen with something done with seven years of research.

'THINGS TO COME. In preparing to set up for my next big story...'

::hopeful:: Does this mean you're writing the sequel after all? 9_9

Erm...I don't mean to be ignorant, but you've brought up real mythos several times in this fic, but every time I go to look for it, I can't find it. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? In any case, it sounds REALLY interesting, so to find it would be really good so if possible, let me know. Also, this is probably one of my favorite chapters. It's so tender and earth-shattering, exactly what is supposed to happen between a man and a woman. (sigh) They're so perfect for each other! You've made them my favorite couple now.

this is so cute

I love this so much

Oh, wow. This story pressed all my buttons. I lost sleep because I couldn't tear myself away. I'm a huge Disney fan and I love Greek mythology. All the research you put into this made it really awesome. The story itself it great, and the illustrations are beautiful.

I first discovered your work because of your collaborations with Vulgarweed, so I've been thinking of you as primarily an illustrator. I'm so glad that you have a wonderful talent for writing as well.

Truly enjoyed this story! It was loads of fun and I loved the way you used the disney trashing of the myths and still fixed them up. I never approved of the way they decided to make Hades the bad guy when there where loads of bad guys in the myths they could have used!

On the site where one can review your artwork and read the story, you can only go to chapter 2 and chapter 2 is actually chapter 3. So if you could upload the rest of the story over there, it would be much appreciated, cause actually, thats really good stuff, it looks just like the real deal when Disney drew that stuff.

Great story btw.

.. I just had to say, what in the world were you updating for if the story was finished so long ago? .. then I read your Author's Note xD Easily forgiven! You just kind of gave me a shock in the first place for even updating!.. very odd still.

What are you talking about. This is a great pun.

hi could you send me the address to yur website?

Wow,wow,WOW! THAT was the BEST story I've ever read!

Bravo! I love it!

And encore! You're good!

Ok, so i know this story is, like, three years old, but I just found it and read it and, well, loved it. Honestly, it I was so pathetic, I just sat here for hours so I could finish reading the story in one sitting. I always liked Hades and Persephone (despite their less than wonderful first impressions of each other in Hyme to Demeter), those two are my favorite greek couple next to Eros and Psyche. Which is sort of why I'm reviewing in this first chapter rather than the end of the story, because, well...I'm shamelessly begging for you to write your version of a Disney Hercules-esque, Cupid and Psyche love story. Seriously, it would be so awesome. So awesome that I seem to be reverting back to brainless valley girl speak. But really. It would be.

Wow, that was just truly an amazing story. I loved both the love story and the way you completely revamped the Underworld. That description at the end sounded like a Disney World ride and I want to go on it. :)

One TEENY thing I didn't like - and it's very teeny, really - was that regarding the big confrontation scene on Olympus, Persephone never ever acknowledged that SHE was largely at fault for the whole mess because she vanished for a whole week and never contacted anyone. I mean, speaking as a mother myself, you can't just DISAPPEAR for days on end and never send word that you're safe, yet expect your mom NOT to totally freak out with worry, regardless of whether she's a goddess or controlling or anything else. I kind of felt like, on the one hand Persephone wanted to be treated with the respect of a mature adult, but on the other hand, she acted like an irresponsible kid by never sending word of where she was or at least that she hadn't come to harm.

And it's okay for her to be like that - I mean, it's very human, and flaws make a character real - but I would have liked it acknowledged at some point that it WAS a mistake/flaw, once everyone cooled down and everyone was making up. At some point, she should have apologized for making her mom worry so much (just as Hades did eventually apologize to Zeus and Co. for the things he did in the past, and I give him big points for that).

But anyway, that's just a tiny thing. I really, really ADORE this story and it's one of my favorites on the whole site!

You said something about a sequel? And a possible published book on Hades and Persephone? Can you let me know what's happening with those? I would really love to read more!

Oh, wow, that was SO great! I've been devouring the last few chapters; I can't put this story down! That moment when he stopped her from drinking the bottle...man, this seriously NEEDS to be a movie!
