Heaven and Hell
…without Maggie’s playful sense of humour. Wow, that was pretty dark, alright!
Haven't had the pleasure
I haven't had the pleasure to read that particular work by Maggie and strangely this story has also been compared to 'Lost Girl' (A Canadian TV series) which I have not seen. It is one of my darker works, but had it not been set within the DarkRealms universe it would have likely been a lot darker (ironic given the title of the universe). I didn't want to risk going too dark and driving people who had read the other stories away. I did try to inject a bit of humor with Selina's dry attitude and Archie's sarcasm, but I'm not always as clever as I sometimes think I am. ^_^
Have a delightfully devious day,
Missing a treat
Maggie Finson’s Heaven and Hell can be found in various places on Sapphire’s Place, Crystal’s Storysite, and the Crystal Hall library. It became something of a shared universe, with several contributions from other Whateley cannon authors (Bek D. Corbin, E. E. Nalley, Starwolf, and Dr. Bender). While I’m at it, Maggie’s Peace Bringer is also at Sapphire’s, and on Classic Big Closet. I think you will love them. :)
Selena’s and Archie’s dialogue made it clear these two characters were not living happy existences as succubae. It doesn’t get much plainer than this:
I found it to be a very effective story, but the effect on me was to convey a heavy miasma of misery and suffering. Maybe this is because I know what it is like to feel constantly empty, and never fulfilled. Hunger pangs, indeed!
Oh, I'm familiar quite
Oh, I'm familiar quite familiar with Maggie. She's assisted me as a beta-reader for several of my stories. I just haven't read all of her tales.
Hunger Pangs was one of my stories that really struck home with me. I know what it's like to feel as if I don't belong, (Fascades, another story of mine, will give some insight as to why even if it is a work of fiction) and frankly, Archie/Rachel's bad attitude was very reminiscent of my teenage years. It's ironic that a transformation that would cause him/her so much pain would, in effect, give him/her a feeling of belonging.
