This is a very very good story.  I am disappointed that you have not posted the rest. It has been three yrs since your last post and I think it is very unfair of you to keep us waiting sooooo Long! :P

I hope you have not forgotten about this or have decided not to finish it. I would really like to read more of your work.


Comment by Yoron on 05/21/08
Ok so now I've read it.

Some points though.

I'm not happy when the hero(ines) acts like judge jury and executor towards people that have done them nothing, like that guy that got transformed.
A very bad move to my taste as it is not a ethical thing to do.

Actually it places them right beside those slave handlers they are so concerned about.
It also destroy all credibility I gave this piece before saying it contained love faith and care (my first post).

Other than that I like the literary style and I recognize some ideas from books I've read before :)
But hey, it would be almost impossible not to find references as there already exist so much SF/Fantasy.

All in all It's a good, even if somewhat too bloodthirsty, piece of work :)
I would prefer to allow those credited with slavery to kill each other off instead, ahh, not in a 'game room' though (Demarest? :)
And our hero(ines) to behave somewhat more 'heroic' instead of being the exact same kind of thing they want to eradicate.


Comment by Yoron on 05/21/08
You know, just when you started to give up on peoples writings something like this comes along.
I haven't finished it by any means, but already to my eyes, this is a well thought out story involving love empathy and care.
Trying to manipulate others trough rudely constructed wanking pieces may be a goal for some, but I much prefer something of a literary value.
And if it incorporates love and faith it makes it so much more interesting for me.
Relations comes in many shades and colors, but without those values they are only lies.

Cheers
Yoron.

Reminds me of a cooperative story by Phillip K Dick and Later Heinlein. I see elements of Lazarus Long, The Cat Who Walked Through walls, all the gender bending Heinlein did in his later stories, the Lazarus Long being cured/Rejuvenated at a hospital Paradise is kind of obvious.

I enjoyed it, and Heinlein wouldn't have minded, you filed the serial numbers off like a pro before you sprayed it (Black with gold metal flake I hope).

Jolly Good Show, you should try to sell it!

Phillip K Dick I see in the subject matter,and the matter of fact way you handled it, Heinlein was a product of an early 20th century Missouri Baptist upbringing, and it shows in his stories, a sort of aura, like "HOLY CRAP, I can't believed I can Write this stuff!". A bit of a prude, I think.

Keep up the good work, as I can not wait untill the next chapter.

The continuing story is quite grand !!!  The Sci-fi aspects and the humor make for a great read.

seems there will be several more chapters necessary to complete this tale. i'm looking forward to them.

Thanks for the view from your minds eye...


Comment by Rachel76m on 09/26/07
I found the stories through the Author List.  Apparently not updated through clicking on the author directly on the Date summary page.

Comment by tj on 09/26/07
I see in the update the next 3 chapters, but when I come to the page where the story is, they are not there.   Don't know if you realize it.

Thanks for the work you do on this site.

TJ


Comment by Rachel76m on 09/26/07
Congratulations!!   I am glad to see the story to continue on.  Apparently some real life got in the way.  You have really made this one to span the centuries, literally!!   Obviously more chapters to come.  Don't be too long for the next set.   Excellent writing in keeping us in suspense with those "probablies".  hah, hah.  We do not where David comes from, or other mysteries of the universe you created here.  How many years in the future in relation to our current year?   David could be anyone from the past.  Perhaps plucked up from our world as a baby and was transformed and he is chosen for a great event that is going to happen soon.  Witnessing the world events as a historian.   But it is your story, you know the plot, I am only guessing.  You got me glued to the seat for the next chapter.  Thanks again for all of your stories, they are well written.  hmmm... A matriarchial world.   Kind of like Cheyenne Moon's stories about The Isle of Maxxis.  I love it.  May the world become so, but it is in our dreams right now.

Dear Dave:

   Please fill us in on what happens next! I had lost track of this story for several months and am glad I finally found it again. Very sharp original and totally pleasing.  The playful relationship between Katherine and David is so very rewarding, as is their true love. There are a few typos but so what? Your writing style is nice and easy and reads very fast. Your story is all in all an absolute gem.  Pretty please would you write some more?

   Hugs,

   Kristi

Comment by Maureen on 02/23/03
It appears you have paused in this story to attend other story lines for different stories.  Please do not forget this one. Interesting perspective for the future.  It is well written.  The future of the human race is a debate that will unfold as time goes on.

Hey Dave ,
I still like how your story "Matron" is going . Hope you will continue soon. As I look everyday to see if a new chapter is posted.
Go on .. Greetings Tony

Comment by Christy Lake on 11/22/02
Dave, I like what you have posted so far, did you opt to not post the rest until later, or is this the end of the writing ?

Comment by Prudence Walker on 11/16/02
This is a wonderful story. i really enjoyed reading it so far. Please tell me that there's more. this story has plenty of scope for expansion. huggles from prue

Comment by Chrisl on 11/04/02
Just finished part 6 and as usual really enjoyed your story, Thanks :)
I hope David removes the slave conditioning, or maybe there is some other way that a slave could feel safe after having that done to them? Seems to me the whole government and slavery has to be removed. What can replace it though?
I am looking forward to the next chapters Thanks again.  

Comment by maurice on 11/02/02
