BRRL - Gen 9 Part 5

[rosefyre]

Finally done! Just so you all know, there is an epilogue that will be posted immediately following this, as it is already finished, so make sure you read that too!

For the best view, you'll probably want to download the file, since Slideshare has been...off, lately.

And, as always, feel free to comment either here or at the boolprop thread!

I can't tell you how much I loved this!

[Spoiler (click to open)] I was so terrified for Lily and I knew what was coming. I love how well all the kids personalities came through too. The vampire council's punishments were cleverly crafted.

You totally surprised me with the return of Astrea! I thought she'd return as a ghost somehow, but couldn't figure it out. Was that part planned with Stacey too or did you tweak it when you took over? Just curious.

I like how the kids were all sent off with such a strong bond to each other too. It was sad that they had to go the way they did, but at least they have each other for a little while longer.

[Reply!]I'm glad you loved it! Trying to do justice to my story, your story, and Stacie's original ideas meant walking a tightrope, in some ways. So I'm glad that you, especially, liked it, since I wanted to connect forward to you as much as possible.

Yeah, poor Lily. :( I hated doing that to her, but...she had to get to the point of willingly cheesing herself. Poor girl.

Astraea has been planned for...over three years. As in, before I started my FIRST turn. I can tell you the date because I remember it distinctly - Jamie had just posted HER last chapter and I was thinking about my first chapter and Stacie and I were talking on IM and she said "what if the invisible kid died but came back?" and...yeah. It went from there. So it's been in the works for a long long time and I am totally shocked we managed to keep it a secret this long.

Definitely sad for the kids, but they'll see each other again!

Thanks!

Yay for getting this update out before March ends! *reads, then gasps*

[Spoiler (click to open)]Man, those people the kids hang out with are downright nasty and treacherous. I mean, I was totally relieved that the vampire council was willing to deal with them for killing Lily. That certainly showed that justice will be done. And I’m also glad that Roxanna’s experience with Astraea’s death made her willing to bring Lily back to life and not let her other children go through what she had experienced.

Again, it’s always so sad to see the kids go. Even more than that, I’m sad to see Rainelle gone as well. I love how much of a good friend she is to Roxanna.

I really couldn’t contain my excitement at seeing Astraea again. That was quite a pleasant surprise that she got brought back (and her urn switch with that of another zombie). I originally thought that it was Rainelle who was serving drinks to the vampires at the prologue. What an impressive twist!

Anyway, awesome chapter! *off to comment on the epilogue*

[Spoiler (click to open)]I was DETERMINED to get it out before March ended, to the point that I filmed 105 slides on Saturday. No, this is not an April Fools joke.

The vampire council...they didn't deal with the Tricou teens for altruistic reasons. They did it because they are trying to grab power in THEIR city and that is so not on. Which, make of that what you will. :P

Definitely sad to see the kids go, and Rainelle as well. It never gets easier, does it?

:D Astraea! I have kept that a secret for so long you do not even know. And yes, you were supposed to think it was Rainelle! I did everything possible to make people think that until around slide 200.

Thanks!

[Spoiler (click to open)] I loved this, the whole thing was gripping. Now I'm dying to know who this other Doran is!

[rosefyre]

[Spoiler (click to open)]Thanks! As for the other Doran...well, that's ambiguous. If someone wants to use that plot bit, they can, or it can be left open as a future possibility.
