Wow. This story is so ... I mean, going purely on the sheer size of it, I guessed there was a lot of effort going into it, but it's fascinating to see how much.

I love your thoughts on when to set the piece, and how you came to that decision. It would have been interesting in any of the settings you mentioned, but by making it a future, you made it more real and immediate to us, and more vast to the characters themselves.

Slavefics and I have a bit of a love-hate relationship, and I have to admit that I'm very behind on this story (only half-way through arc III) and almost intimidated at the chance of catching up ... but it is fabulous, especially in the level of detail you go into, and the care you take showing how the characters negotiate the minefields of their world.

Thank you, Icarus! *beams*

Yes, it took me awhile to decide where to set it, but it's amazing how your past research can help give you the answers. :)

I'm glad you're enjoying the series. This epic is really challenging all my writing skills, I must say ( ... )

Wow! Fantastic little peek behind the scenes of the story. I love how there's a common thread between Rainbows Freedom and Lost Years, with identities being stripped to their core. There's just something so satisfying in doing that to our characters, maybe because it makes us examine ourselves and each other as well...

*nods*

Yes! It shows us the true core of our characters, and makes us feel good about admiring them so much, I think, when they're heroes like Clark and Bruce. :)

And you're right about examining ourselves and others. How would we respond in their situations?

*applauds*

Thanks so much for sharing this! :D

You're very welcome, Saavi! Thanks for reading! :)

Thank you for such a wonderful explanation of how you created your world and how it works. I found it fascinating learning how each of the characters were planned to fit into your structure and how each one would contribute to the way the world was AND the way it would be changed.

Thank you! :)

It was nice to see what planning you did before you constructed the story itself. It was extremely detailed but you can see where it would have to be because of the richness of the story itself.

Yes, a LOT of planning goes into a long series like this, otherwise you're in trouble! :)

It helped to already have a background in the subjects.

I started to be interested in the Dom/sub relationships just before I read this story, and the extreme way slaves were treated threw me through a loop. However Bruce’s treatment of Clark gave me hope and deep down I feel that Hope is a BIG part of this story.

Definitely a difference between real slavery and d/s. Hmm, maybe there's some d/s in Clark and Bruce's future in 'our' universe. ;)

I really enjoyed learning your thought process in creating this fascinating AU. I love that the reason for creating the story was so simple, and yet look where it took you! Was there any point at which you went, my goodness, I've been off more than I can chew?

*grins*

Very true! From little acorns... ;)

I'd say no. I've written long novel-length stories before, so this was just a matter of keeping things organized. :)

It's really interesting to see how you've pulled this world together and woven the characters in so that they're both believable in context and true to form.

What really stood out to me though, is your characterization of Bruce. I've been doing some psychological study, most recently in the collective mentality of groups and how to change a perception. I was just looking over this, when I realized that you have Bruce portraying practically all of the qualities that makes someone effective at changing attitudes.

He uses adapts his stance to appeal to both emotional and logical recipients, depending on their personalities. He doesn't deny the cons of his message, but strongly promotes the good. And perhaps even more than anything else, his credibility and likability are great assets to his effectiveness.

Basically, you've made him a veritable force of persuasion! Bravo!

It's the things like that that really have me hooked on your stories.
