[fic] Retribution Sixteen

[kajornwan]

I'm so so so very sorry for the lateness of this chapter. Work has really been killing me due to a sudden shortage of staff. I swear I had to write this while on the elliptical because I had no other time. Also sorry if it sucks or not up to my usual standard. While I wasn't in a rush, I didn't really have time to edit and rewrite like usual. Other

I'd like to comment as well :)

Hello Kajornwan

Hi Eleonora,

I'm so sorry for the late reply and I really don't want you to think that I'm ignoring you or anything >_< I just haven't had time to get in here and do right by my readers.

First of all, thank you so much for commenting. It's really a joy to see a reader take that leap! I'm glad you enjoyed the story and that you too see the potential of this pairing that has been abandoned all too soon. I don't really read VF any more as I've basically given up on YA. But you can be certain I haven't given up on this much beloved pairing. I do intend to finish it and the next chapter is coming as I'm about to send it to my beta in a few days. Thanks again for letting me know your thoughts that certainly help me through this. I hope to not disappoint.

Thanks so much for your reply! I was really happy to see that my comment was of any kind of help to you :)

First of all there's no need to apologize as I remember correctly you've posted that there was a staff shortage at your workplace so everyone knows that the workload increases due to that. So it's great that you still find time to continue the story. Thanks for that!
I'm really looking forward to the release of the next chapter. I hope everyone is getting out of there alive! The death of Alexei was more than enough to handle even so I still kinda miss him at times :(
Please let everyone stay alive...well, it's your story and all but I kinda feel nervous about Yohs well-being (since he's being used as an human shield it's no wonder I guess).
Oh well, no matter how everything is going to turn out I'll still continue to read your story :)

I love this story, no matter how long you take to finish it I will always be there to read it. This story has made me a die hard FeiXMik fan for life.

Thank you so much and so sorry for the late reply. It's been really hard for me to find time for fandom these days but the good news is the new chapter is finished and about to be posted as soon as I'm done with final editing. Thanks again for letting me know that you enjoyed it.

So, Sunflower said I should check out your fics cos you write my favorite pairing, and I've just spent the past week reading Cruel Intentions, Revelation, and Retribution. I'm so sleep-deprived, but I absolutely had to post a comment cos your universe is absolutely amazeballz.

First of, no one ever writes this pairing. Hell, no one ever writes Mikhail and I was surprised to discover Sunflower does, and then she pointed me in your direction and I was completely blown away.

I really admire how you managed to construct a universe that's so... well, canon. The events fit in very nicely with the stuff in the manga, and that's something really hard to do. I'm always looking out for these fill-in-the-blanks type stories, cos I like seeing what writers come up with - especially for characters like Mikhail with little to no background

[kajornwan]

I've just thanked Sunflower for sending you over, because, hell I do love long comments and I've been missing these for a while since Fei fan migrated elsewhere. So first of all, thank you so much for giving it a try and such an inspiring comment!

First of, no one ever writes this pairing
Actually many people used to. As in I used to have at least 2 fics per week (not including mine) to read on MxF. But lately they've all given up and migrated. Some have deleted their fics entirely. But if you love this pairing and you haven't read thegreymoon's Dire Consequences, I suggest you get over there and throw away a few more hours of sleep, because, hell, it's got me tossing and turning like God knows what. She's a far superior writer than I am. But I have to warn you, the fix is unfinished and may never be (though I'm trying my best to change that

[chaosmindfuck]

Hi, Kajornwan. Thanks for the rec. I'll be sure to check out Dire Consequences when I can find the time. I'm actually pretty new to the fandom, so I guess I missed out on a lot of fics. That blows

Hi there! I'm Del, die-hard YohxFei fan in love with CI :D

Well, I beg to differ. You ARE an amazing writer.

She is, she really is, but she's got self-esteem issues, so no matter how often we tell her, she honestly doesn't believe us :(

Everyone always says start with a drabble or oneshot, so it's impressive that you start with a multi-chaptered and big universe, too.

My very first fanfic was a multi-chapter too, simply because I had a story I wanted to tell and it happened to take several chapters. But I've noticed that some people are better at multi-chapter fics, and others at one-shots. It's like in RL, really: some authors are better at full-length novels (or even series of novels!), and others prefer short stories. So make sure not to try to force-fit yourself into a style that's not natural to you. Writing lots of one-shots is awesome too :)

The problem is, sometimes I get an idea that keeps growing, and then it gets stuck. So I just abandon it.Stuck how? Anyway, that's not such an uncommon

still waiting if you're still willing!

Hello, this is first to thank you for the wonderful story you've created for us Mik x Fei fans.. At first I was hesitant to read the Finder series.. I guess I was just too young tolerate S&M then. A few years later I finally got the courage to read it.. but I found out I wasn't as interested in the main characters as much as I am interested in (which later on turned to "love") Mik and Fei

Re: still waiting if you're still willing!

[kajornwan]

Hi. Thank you so much for stopping by to let me know that my stories has some purpose. Readers' comments are the only thing that tells me my efforts have not been wasted. I'm touched to hear that these can help you get through your days and although I've been absent for so long, yes, I am still willing. I've been writing an original story and that's why I haven't had a chance to update. I'm about to finish a chapter on my original, I'll take some time off that to try to finish CI. Thanks again for the kind comment. I did promise that as long as there are ppl wanting to read, I'll write. I'll also be posting the first few chapters of my original soon in case you're interested. ^_^

Re: still waiting if you're still willing!

[anonymous]

Thank you. I'm really happy to know that you'll be updating. I look forward to it. I hope Mik and Fei will have a happy ending together! :) I'll definitely read your original as well!

[kpopangel]

Holy~ when Fei gave Yoh that kiss, for a moment I'm thinking whether it's his gesture of saying, he doubted that they'd make it out of this alive.

And, and.. it's Fei on the line! Did he come back to get Mikhail? ;_; *oh the suspense.
