Wopah Ir eally felt fore Robling is this chapter, thew way he talked about her and his child, poor Guy.

As Liane says, figures there'd have to have been something he wasn't talking about... ;)

Lots of layers of feeling, beautifully written.

Poor Robling. His life really went through a blender! Several blenders. And yet ... beautifully told.

I think this story started germinating from a seed of "so, what would lead someone into that line of work?" and then the world built out from there...

I love stories like that, and worlds too. Some of my best stories have started out along those lines. You've done a lovely job with the worldbuilding, all those distinctive families and guilds and such. Even the golem is a nice twist on a classic motif.

Well! Ysabet linked this story in a comment on my own little web fiction tale, and here I am two days later, having devoured the story so far. I was actually confused for a second when I couldn't find the 'next' arrow, and then quite sad that there wasn't any more story up yet. That about sums up how much I'm enjoying this story!

I encourage you to list the story on Web Fiction Guide - I'd love to write up a review of your story there (you can probably guess, it'd be a postive one!).

Hehehe, and then imagine me having to remember to back-code the last week's installment each Monday and worrying I'll forget on one of them... ;) You're coming in with about a month to go now, so not too much longer to wait for the rest to play out -- in a week or two I think I'll be putting up an option to get a POD of the whole of it through Lulu, since there was some interest in that when I was polling about presentation beforehand... >;)

Hm, worth having a go, I suppose... {submits to queue}

[bovidae]

I completely understand about the back-coding. I do the same for mine. blrghl.

Yes, please!

Web Fiction Guide listing would be nice. Hardcopy would be nice too, though sadly I am brokeass broke.
