Question about my stories
Forum Home > Public : General > Question about my storiesHi guys,
So, as a lot of you will know, I write stories depicting beheadings. I have done stories with axes, swords, and guillotines. I have set stories in not-Europe and Asia, from the Stone Age to the 18th Century. And I just want to ask: do you actually like them?
A lot of my stories get no feedback at all, and most of the feedback I do get says nothing about what you liked about them. Is it the setting, the method, the variety?
I appreciate people saying that my work is great, but I really need to know what it is that you like, what you don't like, and what settings you enjoyed the most.
Sorry, but right now I'm having a bit of a motivation issue, and I have no idea if there is even a point to writing any more.
Should I explore more diverse settings?
Should I write Victorian stories?

Victorian stories are great, but it would be nice to add a hint of erotic excitement to your texts - the judge, the victim, the executioner and the audience.
Your stories are well written, no question about it, but I still prefer stories set in modern times.
Keep up the good work, though.

My favorite stories involve the guillotine, with Days of Revolution being the best example. The first issue had forty-five executions, but it never got tedious. I thought the more the merrier. I would love to see something similar.
I may not always respond, but I always read your stories. Keep up the great work.

Ive just got finished reading all your work which I've been enjoying over the last few weeks on my kindle.
I thought all of the settings worked very well and you could capture the matter of fact of the executions in any time period.
The stuff I didn't like are nitpicks really. The after life scenes which i think you dropped as you went along, although i did enjoy the disembodied experience in your Japan inspired story.
In the Tudor/middle age settings you talk a lot about ruffs which took me out a bit because I couldn't picture how a ruff wouldn't get in the way of the block or blade.
But overall I loved your descriptions and how procedural you make it. Despite some stories featuring dozens of beheading it never got repetitive and each thump into the basket and the look on the faces was described so well. Great work overall.
