Thank you.  I hope you enjoy the story and I'm happy to discuss it with you.

I think earnest is a fair description of Seth.  Not the best at expressing himself, especially around Pris, but a good, honest guy.

Thanks on the poses too.  I've always tried to be careful with my posing, but sadly as I get older and more disabled it's much harder to spend the energy required to get them just right.

Aw understandable!! You do a great job of it. I forgot to also say I love Pris, she's very cute and I love how she's styled. I'm currently on chapter 16 and I'm so curious about her past, but I'll keep reading before I ask any questions!

Thanks on Pris.  You're pretty close to learning a bit more about her background from an outsider's perspective actually.

I was wondering if you'd be okay with fanart of these characters? Nothing fancy, probably just some doodles because I love their looks! And if so, do you imagine them all being roughly the same size or are the doll scales accurate to how large each character is in correlation to each other?

I'm not sure I've ever been asked that before, but don't see any issue with it.  Most of my dolls are just default company faceups anyway.  I know Dearmine really encourages fan art of their dolls.  They've even sponsored contests about it.  As to scale yes the doll scales are accurate.  So Ellie is much smaller than Pris who is much smaller than Sam.  It's a strange world.

So I'm finally caught up, and I'm sad that I'm caught up already but I had an immensely fun time reading it. You're amazing at juggling world building alongside character relationships; I never felt like the story focused too much on one or the other, but instead wove the two things together really effectively. I always felt excited to learn something new, and I really felt myself rooting for all the characters.

My unexpected favorite ended up being Lucius. His relationship to all the other characters is so multifaceted and interesting, like I love how different he is around Kano versus how he is around Sam. I'm also incredibly compelled and touched by the nuance with which you tackle his trauma, I feel like it's so rare to see a male character confronting sexual trauma, and at no point do I ever feel like his reactions are corny or forced. Watching him grow to trust Sam bit by bit has been really heartwarming. And again, I love his contentious but warm-friendship with Kano, seeing Kano protect him in the way only a longtime friend can is so real and sweet. I also like how different his and Kano's relationship with the old goat is, and how differently they've all handled their shared experience with the metal from the sky.

Speaking of Sam, I was shocked about the reveal with her biology and I can't even begin to guess what she is or where the story will go in that regard! I look forward to it. For the first chunk of the story, she was kind of by necessity a blank slate who I didn't feel much for, but as she forms bonds with the people around her, I'm enjoying getting to see her become more and more of her own person. I was happy to see her and Ayr start to form a friendship, they seem like they have a lot of good friendship chemistry potential.

As I said earlier in the thread, I still love Pris even though she and Seth are kind of relegated to being background characters. I even love Ellie, despite what a little shit-stirrer she is. The kind of almost old woman-type of crotchety and protective she is can be really entertaining, and I love their dynamic with each other. I want nothing but the best for their weird little family!

Total aside, but the recap episode was really funny too, it was a fun little reprieve from the usual story format. Obviously comedy doesn't necessarily come up a lot in a story like this, but when it does, I've laughed out loud here and there.

I really, really enjoyed reading and I hope you continue to work on this story!

Wow you just powered through.  Very happy to hear you enjoyed it.  Thanks a lot for all the kind words I really appreciate your detailed reply.

When you said early on you really liked Seth and Pris I didn't want to break it to you that they were kind of minor characters in the main, but since I don't really plan the long term path of this story until I write it they may come back to a larger role.

I'm glad you like Lucius.  He was a surprisingly popular character three years ago when these stories were coming fast and furious.  I thought his arrogance would make him on the unpopular side but I think his mix of arrogance and vulnerability is appealing.  Thank you on your thoughts about my handling of his trauma.  Sam's patience and support has obviously been a big help to him.  And while he'd never admit it publicly obviously he appreciates all that Kano has done for him as well.

Sam's latest anatomy revelation has come as a surprise to everyone that has commented.  I do like to throw the occasional twist into my story lines although often they're just spur of the moment thoughts I think will work well and maybe add some long term opportunities.

Ellie hasn't been quite as popular.  She has some fans but a lot weren't too fond of her either.  She just won't give poor Seth enough of a break I guess.

I had to throw the "behind the scenes" humor into the recap episode as something had to break up the necessary exposition to summarize 149 episodes worth of plot and character development.  Nice to hear it came off well.

My intention is to continue the story, it's just harder now than it was years ago so I don't think they'll come as fast anymore.  Set changes especially lead to delays these days.

Thanks again for your kind and detailed comments.  Greatly appreciated.

No problem, giving you detailed feedback for providing me hours of free entertainment was the least I could do!

I'm actually totally okay with Pris and Seth being in the background now because I feel like they've both had really satisfying character arcs, but I certainly wouldn't complain about seeing them in the future too!

No rush on the continuation either, I'll be eagerly awaiting new updates but I can only imagine how much work arranging and taking so many photos is!

Still catching up with all chapters.

It is a fun read so far. And the photo’s do a lot in favour of the story.

I am glad that during your story the role of the storyteller got smaller. In a lot of photo’s the extra information is not necessary because the photo’s and the poses are done incredibly well.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks.  Glad you're enjoying them.  Narrating actions present in the photos is just something I tend to do.  It comes and goes.

These look great! Looking forward to reading through it all. Not sure if you're still updating it, but just a ui tip. Maybe a note on the tips page about how to get the bubbles to progress? (If I didn't miss that somewhere.) On Android Chrome I just swiped right and left but had no text. Three episodes later with no text I accidentlly tapped the sceen. Lol Didn't know I could just tap the screen to get bubbles and progress through the story. Again can't wait to read it! Off to do that now.

I gave up on serialized stories, but hopefully can still be some fun to read through it.

The intro screen of every story has a quick start section that says click on the right/left side of the screen move the story forward/backward.  It's also in the help section.

ok. holy crap it's been amazing so far! Really have enjoyed learning about the characters and getting a sense of Hesvar and it's surrounding areas. I got to ep 40 (using the links in this thread) and then I read about someone else loving Lucius and then you posting ep 161! haha I was so confused. I found the index finally and I'm starting at 41 now. :)

Glad you're enjoying it.  Yeah I de-emphasized it from the site after I decided to stop making any more episodes.

Thanks.  I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I have no plans to do more.  It just wasn't received well enough to keep going.

I started reading this because I wanted to see more original stories people made for their dolls, and holy crap, this is such an enthralling story! I'm only on chapter 61 still but I'm absolutely hooked, to the point where I'm procrastinating on some of the tasks I need to do to read this lol

I'm not sure if there are spoiler blocks on this site, but the romance that the last few chapters focused on is just seriously so sweet and I love how much depth both of the characters have. I want them to be happy so badly...

Thanks for the feedback.  Glad you're enjoying the story.  Just looking the editor has a spoiler button (the eye) but I doubt there's too many around with fears of spoilers at this point.  :)  Hopefully you enjoy the rest of the story as well.

Wait, I recognize your story! 

I named a character after one of your characters!  I think it's a good read, in my opinion.

I think you've got something with your lore, it's the first original doll story that's continued even today, ngl. 

 

Thanks on the lore and the good read.  The naming part is not something I ever expected to read.  I generally use pretty generic names.  😛
