Re: A Sword in the Grotto
Character death is a bit of a dreary thing. Too many authors use it without considering the implications of losing one's very identity IMHO. So instead of just killing my character's minds, I try to make the process as organic as possible so that it's less of death and more of a rebirth, if that makes any sense. I also like to add smidgen of horror into the mix; not enough so that's terrifying mind you, but just enough so that whoever is reading my work understands that these kinds of transformations aren't all sunshine and rainbows.
As for you're question, it's the latter. I suppose it would make more sense to post the links instead of copy-pasting my stories one at a time, but I feel that this way has more gravitas so to speak. Plus, it gives me an additional backup in case of trouble.
If you are interested in seeing the rest of my stories before I post them here, feel free to look me up on Deviantart. I've got a different name there, but don't think that I'm too difficult to find...
And thanks for the complement! The quality process transformations are what I strive for, so it's always nice to hear that my efforts are appreciated.
