Reviews For Blood Magic
Keep writing and I'll keep reading. Author's Response: Thank you! I'll probably never write the next year, because there's not enough left that I want to write through in this universe, but I have written a short follow-up story, which should be ready to post soon.
CT Author's Response: Tobacco is native to the Americas and the Carribean. It exists as an introduced plant in England and mainland Europe, but is not native there. (See http://nlbif.eti.uva.nl/bis/flora.php?menuentry=soorten&id=3379) Tobacco was brought back from the New World by explorers a little before 1500, originally showing up in Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The first reports of tobacco in England are in the 1560s. (The "Precolumbian America" section of http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1079499/ has a good overview.) What you may be thinking of is John Rolfe, an Englishman, introducing Nicotiana tabacum to Virginia, as a superior species to the local Nicotiana rustica. Although he came from England, the strain of tobacco came from the Carribean -- the plant is native there and in South America. (See http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2007/05/jamestown/charles-mann-text, http://www.preservationvirginia.org/rediscovery/page.php?page_id=27, and http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3404705547.html.) Anyway, I'm glad it amused you.
Thanks for such a great read, I'm glad I kept reading!! 84 chapters wheww. C x Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be posting another story (not a trilogy-length epic, just a story) in this universe soon.
Well done! Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sorry about not responding earlier; I fell way behind. (I'm catching up on the most recent page.) There will be a little more in this universe soon -- not another epic, but a story.
Author's Response: Thanks. This was originally posted as a serial, a chapter or two ahead of where I was writing, which is a format that leads to length. It would be somewhat shorter if I had written it as a novel and edited it as a unit before posting, but I am not going to make any changes to it.
Author's Response: Thanks! They are not a couple at this point. I leave it up to the reader whether they grow back towards it or away.
Lovely. Ignore-all-study-duties lovely. Wonderfully written, exceptionally pleasing to read such a story- original, interesting, intriguing. Bravo & I sincerely hope you write more. Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
-Fujoshi PS. You ever noticed that should you have rearranged the name for the werewolf coup thingy, it would've been WUF instead of WFU? =) Remus: "WUF!" Severus: "Quiet, Remus!! It's not the full moon yet!!" x) Author's Response: LOL! No, I hadn't notice that. I'm glad you liked the story! Thanks for commenting. |
