Story update!

[marycrawford]

My Hercules: the Legendary Journeys adventure story is done, whoohoo! Many thanks to ltlj and the Iolausian Writers Guild for terrific betas.

"And Now He Writes To Heaven", 85 Kb, rated PG-13.

Summary: Hercules and Iolaus must defeat a monster that has frightened off an entire village. But first they have to find it...

I'm really jazzed that it's up on The Less Than Legendary Journeys too. And I had such fun coming up with an author bio. *g*

And a wonderful story it is, too!

(I also realized I'd forgotten to put a counter on it and just now fixed that.)

Thanks!
(And that counter will probably register a lot of hits from the Netherlands, since I kept popping over there to admire my story in its new home. *g*)

I can't read it until I got home, but you evil evil evil evil enabler you, I got a response from the bear gal, and of course had to go look at screenshots to see how I want his outfit to look, and I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT THEM!

I'd forgotten how messed up that poor guy gets. :->

I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT THEM!

Hee! Mission accomplished.

I'd forgotten how messed up that poor guy gets. :->

I always feel that I'm airing my kinks to the world with those screencaps. *eg*

I had to wait HOURS until I had time to read this, but it was worth it! The story was great, and I loved the ending. Hope you write more!

Hey, thanks so much for the feedback! Much appreciated.
And I do intend to write more, after I get this original fic I'm procrastinating on out of the way.

Good Heavens! I'm turning into an Iolaus-fan in my old days

I just found the time to read your story and I have to admit it: I really enjoyed it. And of course I followed your lead that Phrakis was an old and not very friendly, but at least innocent man. No, I don't want to buy the Statue of Liberty. I'm not that gullible.

I really like Iolaus in this story. And I pitied him when Phrakis throw his bow into the fire and Iolaus still had to refrain himself from breaking his neck.

The shape shifting was scaring and I felt with Iolaus who had his great moment here. Only he could want to laugh in such a moment.

All in all I really enjoyed the story. Very well done. Sounds meager but given the fact that there is no Strife in it, I'm surprised that I actually liked it.

Ooh - and I liked the last sentences. How good for Zeus that he got Hercules as a son. Otherwise he might get a mouthing off from Iolaus. :: LOL ::

nitpicker alert: I'm sorry, but on your own page at squidge.org the last few words in a line are missing. Looks like they're cut off. At least with my browser. On ltlj.com the formatting is fine.

Thanks so much for the lovely feedback! It's great to hear details about what worked for you in the story, that just makes my day.

And now I'm all chuffed that I got you to like a Strife-less story and that I managed to put Phrakis over on you. *g*

Eek! I knew I should have checked what it looked like under Internet Explorer. Must run to fix. Thanks so much for the heads-up!

I think I fixed it - at least, it now looks OK under Internet Explorer on this machine. If you're willing to take another look and check if it looks OK on your end, that would be very helpful. :-)

Thanks,

Mary

Okay - I'm willing to have another look, BUT I'm using the browser that came with my client ( t-online ). They say it's a rip-off of the Internet Explorer, but I don't know if there are are any significant differences.

It's still a very entertaining story, but I don't know, do you need to be reassured? ( I love Hercules in that sentence: all attentive nurse on one side and still being the dry-witted friend Iolaus is accustomed to. )

As far as I can tell, it looks alright now. I couldn't find any words missing in action. I hope that helps.

I hope that helps.

Hmm, well, I don't know - could you maybe take another look?

No, I'm kidding. *eg*

But thank you very much for that, I have such a grin on my face now.

Thanks! That was exactly the effect I was hoping for. Hurt/comfort with a slightly sardonic edge. *g*
