I'm so happy to have met you and now discovered this amazing blog of yours.<br /><br />The detial in this peice, both the visual and emotional, was stunning. It felt to me like thr first chapter of a much longer story set in a an already flesheing-itself universe. I don't know if you have plans to make this a serial but it seems like it's dying for it, to me.<br /><br />I will definately be checking out your other stories, and will be following the blog.<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />BeverlyBevimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924337684790883853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005986735966635433.post-78592258146262427592013-04-10T23:01:38.444-04:002013-04-10T23:01:38.444-04:00I've never read Steampunk before but I thought...I've never read Steampunk before but I thought it was good.
