Aerial fights and tea parties! I love the name Chain-Breaker, too.

I agree with Cheah. Go do something different for a while. I've been ill lately, and I don't write well when I'm sick. I've spent a lot of time reading instead.

Winged Dingo! That is the best name ever. Well, maybe after Ultima Thule. I'm still annoyed the International Astronomical Union got to that one before I did!

I've been crafting narrative stories ever since I could talk. The ideas that became RBM had their genesis in 1985. It's a big universe by now. Just for fun, here's the basic outline of what could be written:

Edited out some tense errors and performed a "that-ectomy". Why can't I see these things before I post?!

Cool lore. I've researched American Tory, Nazi and Imperial Japanese survivals (they all exist), so it follows that there might be Confederate ones, too. Looking forward to the next!

Interesting premise, more interesting world. Curious how the Confederacy ties in.

OK, that is too funny. ;-) Love the way the memes piled up in there. I knew we were in for it when the MC was named Chad...

Thanks! Oskar will someday have another role to play, but he will not meet Inna again in this space/time continuum.

Thank you! I've noticed the pictures in other author's streams. It makes for a gracious presentation, but one must have pictures appropriate to the story. I have this one, but in the context of Boy's Adventure

I love this! I wish I could illustrate as well as you do, and in such a variety of styles.

Muahahaha! If your mind is blown, my job is done. Nils is an interesting creature in himself. I haven't written his stories yet, but he's the only person in the universe over whom Inna has no innate authority.

As was inevitable. But there were leftovers...

I'm humbled to have my work placed anywhere near Dan Dare. Fine, fine stuff that was! If there is a rule that I follow when writing my universe, it's this: no villains allowed, nor any heroes. Is Inna

Thank you for your very thorough mini-review. I grant all of your points. I generally avoid vampire and monster stories myself. But Empress Raina I, AKA Inna -- who is of distant Russian extraction, although

It was! I hope you find time to write more.

LOL about Christie! Eating good, being eaten bad. But If you've been going back and forth, I'm happy. The story reads as intended. Inna's supposed to be a monster, but she's a good monster, and one you

Bravo! Now I get the symbolism behind the dragon. All in all, a surprisingly sweet story, especially nice that it wraps up during Holy Week. More, please!

Coming soon. I'm still trying to wrestle chapter 14 down to a manageable size. It's as bloated as the Empress after a hot night with a savory Norwegian geeballer. (Did I just say that? Oops.)

Good luck. I know that feel. It's not conducive to creativity.
