The Rapina Feedback Forum

 If you email me make sure that you include Rapina or ASSTR somewhere in the subject line so that I do not toss your mail out with the huge volume of junk mail that I get.  Also please let me know if you do not want your message posted on the forum.  Items with the aforementioned words in the subject line are diverted into a special box that I look at much more carefully than the one where all the junk mail goes.

My old Gamebox.net email is defunct.  The provider evidently went out of business.  I now have email at gmail.com.  I am not including it here because of the preponderance of spam that seems to cling to Asstr despite impressive efforts to keep it to a minimum.  If you want my email address, just send a request via the forum.  The forum has a nifty human-detector that filters out most robotic attempts at using it.

comments = Hello Rapina,

As usual, it's been awhile since I've come around here. To my delight, I got two new chapters to read ! Great action, very nice plot. I like the way you're making things happen, and am, as always, eagerly waiting for the next chapter. I suppose I'll be back in half a year or so for the next, and re-reading the whole text, like I do sometimes...

If you need any help, let me know, I might be able to do something.

Have fun writing and enjoy life,
G.R.D.

comments = You surprised me! i had expected the Man in Rags to be someone or something else, not a plan to discredit Mortaebius by the Vindis. Very good twist and turn!

(wonder where a vindi like Leland got the ghouls?)

and it was nice using the the Brianna Barter persona to cover the Bellany Norwit one. nice bit of misdirection.

and Abraham got laid too, yet the stubborn fellow is STILL planning to go to Paladin school/training? tsk. is their no other gods that can be the god of war?

comments = Hello Rapina,

I've followed your story with grate interest during the years, and I'm very impressed! The slow pace is a pain but such a complex story can't be rushed, can it? If Graylore ever needs help, or lacks time to edit, you can count on my help. I have a decent amount of time available. You won't get any more mail trouble with gmail, I've used it for a long time ;)... I'm very much looking forward for "Conventional Wisdom" and "Reunion?"... By now Thane should have realized that Belle is in deed Rapina! You have spawned so many interesting branches to the story that it's almost overwhelming! ;) I have one big question though... why wasn't Bianca "recruited"? Specially considering the opportunity in ch69... That girl could still stub Belle and be useful to her. Once let in on the truth, she wouldn't have given her away... If my understanding is right you plan for a return trip to the "prison" for our girl to finish this stage of her training... am I right? I know all the friendships
she is so painstakingly welding right now will play a major role when "the big events" will fall upon them... but I have a feeling a lot of ink should be flowing before that. I'm so curious how did Mortaebius prepared to foil the Vindicator's plans of despotism and bring balance to the realm, that I'm fidgeting crazy with scenarios! And how will Brianna, a girl on the Vindicator's shopping list, will fulfill his will! Will she kill Avengene to revenge her family in the end? Or will she prove her grateness and let him live under some conditions? There's one other think I'd like to ask... the map... is not showing... and it makes for a very interesting point... can you please fix that? Anyway, thanks for this great story and all its wonderful twists!

Looking forward for the next chapters,
DarkRaven

PS: where's the forum for 2009? We're closing to mid-year by now... ;) :P

comments = Rapina,

I would humbly suggest that you start posting on storiesonline.net there are TONS of editors some better than others that are available and the stories are free to all and in a much easier to read format than the txt files that Asstr uses... Personally I'm a rather disappointed in getting only 2 chapters a year. 

Please give some serious though as to moving Rapina to storiesonline.net - You would find it a great improvement to being here on Asstr and you wouldn't have to wait months for proof reading... Please give it some serious consideration. I think it would be a very possitive move for your readership.

comments = Hi Rapina,

I was just wondering if you could post a short update on ASSTR letting us know when the next chapter is likely to appear.

Also, if you are interested, I'd be happy to proof-read the chapters to check for errors before you publish them. My email address is [email protected]

Cheers

Mark
