I've already commented on this in your personal journal, but still. Love it!

[nevacaruso]

Yay! thank you!

Okay scared now. Awesomely written.

I saw the allusion to incest, I remember thinking it when I read the series too. Was that true?

[nevacaruso]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad that you found the story sufficiently scary (mwahaha, my work here is done!) and enjoyable.

Was that true?

A lot of fans have interpreted the Hayes parents' mention of a "pureblood union," and their initial difficulty/reluctance in conceiving a child, as hints that they were relatives, possibly even brother and sister. To the best of my knowledge, though, BKV has never confirmed this.

Nice. It's so very much in character for a member of a Pride that I can't believe it's not canon like whoa.

[nevacaruso]

Wow, what a great bit of feedback. Thanks! (And I think that it would make a fabulous twist in canon too, but I'm evil like that.)
