I want to have the whole saga in good shape, and consistent from start to finish, before I do that. <br /><br />I'm thinking of posting the whole first chapter on this blog a few days before it goes up on the EMCSA, and doing the same for each subsequent chapter - posting them here a few days ahead of their posting on the EMCSA. That way, I give my regular blog readers a special gfit. :-)thrallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228794853493421326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540840190634112721.post-30861963179173768922013-05-02T02:58:37.865-04:002013-05-02T02:58:37.865-04:00Not much to say other than I really liked it.

Making Peacekeepers and tossing them out on the streets is an easy way to keep the population intimidated. Low-level sleepwalkers are easy to make, but they're not very useful because they don't have much initiative. Making high-level, useful sleepwalkers is more complicated, which is why Hawthorne hasn't taken over the whole population yet.<br /><br />2. You'll find out more about the whole brainwashing process, and Paul's motivations, when you read the rest of the chapter.<br /><br />3. No one in this storyverse (or at least no one I'm writing about) wants to be brainwashed. I'm trying to write something that's closer to mainstream SF - though it's very much X-rated - so there aren't any horny subs around this time. The Cabs, however, are pretty much horny doms. ;-P<br /><br />4. This next answer is just backstory, but since you ask, I'm glad to share. The various countries of North and South America united in response to threats from China, which was the dominant world power before my story begins. Hawthorne was an army general involved in defense efforts. <br /><br />5. You will meet Hawthorne very, very shortly. ;-)thrallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228794853493421326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540840190634112721.post-76757079476307869452013-04-29T14:44:02.002-04:002013-04-29T14:44:02.002-04:00Well, I'm hooked and can't wait for more. ...Well, I'm hooked and can't wait for more. Hairless, shiny automatons, yum. The world you're creating already feels fleshed out and will let you take this story pretty much anywhere you'd like.<br /><br />How did the Peacekeepers come about? When do we meet General Hawthorne and what's her story? Why don't they just take and process everyone wholesale? Is there a group of people *ahem*, who would find that appealing and try to be taken? What motivated Paul to be in the resistance? Why does he think he can save the private? <br /><br />I can't be the first to comment?! Come on people, there's a new Thrall <b>novella</b> on the way!<br /><br />-DraphyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
