Thanks for the feedback! It's interesting that the story feels restricted by the pictures. When I wrote the first draft, I hadn't intended to include InfinitySign's images. Instead, I just used the images as a source of inspiration. Even then, though, I guess they were guiding the way the story evolved. Personally, I don't feel like it should have gone in a different direction. Kitti ended up just where she was suppose to be. Of course, I didn't give much thought to other possibilities, either. I'm curious where others would have taken it. As you read, was there a particular direction you wanted the story to go in?
Also, the
Fictionmania post is up. Unfortunately, the formatting got messed up, but you can still click on the images for larger renditions, which I think look quiet nice.
Enjoy!
