for Red as Blood

11/10/2002 c2 1Ripper
Hey...This'll sound like a put-down, but I was really expecting this to be more full of shite than an Ex-Lax-aphobics Anon. group therapy session (yeah, I crack me up too. Get in line). After all, it's a pre/post/during apocalyptic original fantasy. With vampires. Which usually spells angsty Rice-a-thon with guns. Instead, it's good. Damn good. I like your short, punchy style, and the ironic VO technique. I like your slinky characters with snippy dialogue. But I'm a bastard, so I'm going to say how *I* think it could be better. Yeah? Yeah.

1. Vampire Hunter's Guide: A nice touch. They *would* have a manual, wouldn't they? But do we have to get it all at once? I'm presuming the interesting (and often highly original) snippets of info you give us there will come into play later on, so why not give us the excerpts as and when they become relevant?

2. What's going on with your Chapter set outs? It's confusing...unless it's meant to be Art, in which case you're horrible.

3. "It's only the end of the world again..." I'm a big fan of the ol' Armageddon, when done correctly. Which you could. It's a big subject to tackle without getting unspeakably dry, admittedly, but you're quite talented enough to keep us interested through a bit more scene setting jazz. It's the end of the berloody world, ducky: have some fun. Orbital jets? Meh?

4. Likewise, your characters. They're interesting. Let them run free. We can take it.

Don't take this as excessive criticism. Or do, if it gives you pleasure. Anyfuck, you're a damnably good writer (better'n me), and I just wanted to pick at the things that would make it perfect for me. Meh. *shrug*

Like your other stuff, too.

I really like the Guide- is that true vampire lore or is that just for the purposes of

your story? You know, if i didn't know better, i'd say that Loki was purposely trying to

scare the bejezzus (sp?) out of that poor kid. and i like Cayt and Linn.

DREAM: Oooh gooooood. Very good

JEWL: Wow, this is soooo amazing.

JEM: More please. I want more!

JEWL: You say that about everything.

JEM: So do you!

DREAM: Ignore the freaks. Just continue. We like Vampires.

LOL! Hee hee, sorry but i find this kinda funny, but i guess it'll be a good stroy.

this cracked me up:

The most eefective way to kill a vampire? Stake the bastard, saw his head off with a silver blade, and leave him in the sun to dry. Then move far away, because they will probably find a way to survive ,, and will be looking for you withen a week. He will likely have your social security number, street address, telephone number, and a list of loved ones. Vampires are like the Mafia. Don't screw with them.

^.^ Melikes!

I know you're going for dark and spooky, but I can't help but think that this is more of a 'darkly humorous' sort of fic. The dialogue is anything but flat (most characters on this site are so boring...), and I like the descriptions. Your voice is a tad on the pithy side, but I like it, and hope you try to maintain the same balance of cheap-jibes-Of which I know a lot about-and intelligent jesting-of which I know nothing about-throughout the rest of the story.

The Highly Overpowered Precision Extendable rifle sounds like it could do some damage...Where can I order (or steal..hee-hee)one?

As I said in my e-mail, I read over your suggestions, and will try to make use of them in the chapters to come. Then again, I *am* the master of stupid mistakes, and it would be a pity to ruin my grand reputation. *gets kicked*

LOL! ^_^ That's exactly how Marcus would write it! I told you that you'd be good at using him!

*goes off to read the second chapter*

'Ey! I want to write something like that, now. Looks useful. A lot of the things you wrote here don't agree with my vampires-like the feeding, the speed, and all that- but it's good stuff. You tend to make vampires less lethal than everyone else does, but- hey! Your world, right? After all, we can at least HOPE vampires don't exist. But, where I come from, vampires use blood to heal, to run fast, to be real strong, and all that. And the best way to kill them? Not silver, but the Sun. Or the old fashioned stake-em-and-bake-em. Email me.

oooh, that was good. good job explaining about the red, but i got a question. is Loki hunting the vampires as a vampire or is he just hunting the red as a vampire? or something else entirely? i dunno if only i cant catch that, but a little clarification would be nice...but still, good job.
