Finally managed to finish up about 2 am this morning and promptly collapsed into bed.

Going over it one last time before I sent it off to Oldfart, I took a close look at the parts of this chapter that gave me so much trouble and... I can't tell.

I agonized and had diagrams running around in my head trying to figure out how this was all going to work. Reading through it, I cant even tell where they were.

Okay, obviously I know where those sections are but they don't stand out in any way (granted, some of the parts I tried so hard to make work are now gone). Not sure what I was expecting. A light shining down on my computer with an angel chorus as I read through those scenes might be too much to ask for, but it would have been nice.


Now about the 'Names!' thing in the title. I use Fantasy Name Generator quite a bit, it makes my life easier. A while back I was asking 2muchdiggity what name he would like for the will-o'-wisp and it suddenly occurred to me that instead of seeing a randomly generated name and changing it slightly to fit the naming conventions I've laid out in the story (some of those are very WIP still) perhaps it would be more fitting to ask you all to throw your ideas at me. That way, even if it's just a name for a one-off character you get to read through it and go, "Heh... that was the name I picked out." :D

Edit:

Ignore all of this:

I'm going to put a post in the community section of the site with rules and the naming conventions I already use. I really have no idea how this is going to turn out so there may be a lot of changes in the beginning until we get something solidly established.

Looks like I cant start threads in the community tab which also means that I can't go back and edit threads in the community tab in order to update things :P

Next idea is just a separate post which I will put a link to when I finally get my 'Pinned' post planned out (Links to the different stories, etc.)

The only thing I will mention right off the bat is that before submitting maybe throw the name into google translate. I'm still mildly upset that Perra translates to bitch or slut in Spanish but it's definitely too late to change it now. 

Other translations of interest

Ikuno: Going (seems appropriate at this point in the book)

Silma: Eye

Marda: Disease (O.o)

Kuto: Lice (Eww)

Ruce: Hands

Kahrin: the Heroes

As you can see things are all over the place as to what pops up, just try to avoid any more 'Perra' situations. More to come on that later.

As a teaser of sorts, one of the scenes in the upcoming chapter was mildly inspired by this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIyj1xS1-ys

Great movie in my opinion. It definitely has some raw moments in it, but still a great movie.

Need to get working on 21 right away so that's all I have at the moment :)

Hello Blu Found your story a few days ago on Lit. I just red through everything till this point in just a few days. What a ride! I love your charakters and I really like how your balance between sexy scenes and story changed to an, in my opinion, more natural and fluent style between book 1 and 2. I am really smitten with the Charakter development and the Wax the story just runs forward in a really natural way. Even if some points feel a little hurried one after another, but that might be because I love reading epics of a few thousand pages :D I would love to know if yoj think about publishing your first book as a whole in paper Form, because I would love to have that one in my bookshelf. Other than that I just have to say: keep up the good work and I hope that you will some time reach the goal that you can write full time without a "regular" job in the foreground. Greetings Mayday

Thank you so much for your kind words, things like that really mean a lot to me and comments like yours are what keeps me going through the times when i'm frustrated and want to throw my computer against a wall. As to your question, I am currently working on getting Book 1 published though i'm still considering splitting it into two parts for when it goes up on Amazon. 2muchdiggity is going over the manuscript for Oni and the Farmer and WillowRaven is currently working on the cover art.
