DAEDRIC FUN TIP:
Mortal fiction is pathetic. Any mention of 'spoilers' will usher forth a cleansing flame.

AMKitsune: In the world of Tamriel where pretty much every other drink is alcoholic in some way, I wonder if alcoholism is a known problem and whether there's any kind of support for it? Or is Katia unique in having practically no tolerance for the stuff?
Either way, being as pissed as she is here, surely she'd just try to seduce the shop keeper instead of have any kind of rationally emotional response to the situation?

Tahrey: According to the TESwiki that I ended up flicking through yesterday (to find out wtf Hist Sap was), the answer to that question is "yes". As in, drunkenness and drug addiction is viewed much the same on Nirn as it is on Earth. Some races have more or less resistance to the intoxicating or narcotic/addictive effects of particular substances, which is why they may feature surprisingly heavily in certain cuisines and cultures without much ill effect ... it's when people either indulge to excess, get creative in order to enhance those effects, or partake of delicacies from foreign lands that the problems start to arise.

Besides, a lot of real-world drinks used to be at least mildly alcoholic back in mediaeval times. It killed off much of the bacteria and made them safer to drink than straight river water, unpasteurised milk from dirty teats, or juices of uncertain age and provenance. The relatively low strength of the brew (2% typical) and the limited amounts in which it was consumed (no more or less than any other drink) meant you didn't tend to be that affected by it (consider, say, the consumption of four normal beers across the course of an entire day), and in a land without motor vehicles, heavy machinery or delicate surgery, it didn't matter as much even if you were.

There are IRL people who are sensitive to alcohol same as Katia is, and indeed even a parallel in how certain broad racial groups have more or less ability to properly digest and process particular things (lactose and alcohol in particular, in fact). So it's almost certainly neither something Kaz has made up out of whole cloth, or, on a planetary basis at least, unique to this one person.

As for there being a Cyrodiil branch of the AA... I kinda doubt it.

AMKitsune: @D_C_N: Ok, so I've had a read of this and wanted to start by saying that the environments were extremely well described. I could really feel the darkness closing in on the characters in the forest and the expansiveness of the plains. This however brings me onto my second point. With the exception of Katia, I had a hard time keeping track of the the names of the other characters, places, possibly factions if there were any. It may well just be me, but I found the introduction of so many new names in such a relatively short space to be a bit overwhelming. Because of this, I went through the story pretty much thinking of the characters in terms of 'group of bandits who kidnapped Katia' and 'bunch of guards giving chase', and even then, I sometimes found myself mixing up different characters. I suspect that the reason I've had this problem is a combination of the facts that most of the characters have similarly 'fantasy sounding' names (like the sorts of names you get in harry potter and lord of the rings) and the lack of time given to introduce them as separate characters.

You also did a good job of not letting any characters become the 'favourite' by making them 'too perfect' in any way (a problem that many fanfictions suffer from). I was really pleased (and pleasantly surprised) to see Katia written not as a 'damsel in distress' or the 'all conquering protagonist' but as an actual person as she appears in the comic itself. It may not sound like much, but I think it does so much to help make the story more believable and immersive (which is surely one of the best things a story can be, right?).

Honestly, this felt like a small slice of a much bigger story. Sure there were a couple of typo's here and there and a few sparse grammatical errors, but for the most part, it was fantastically written. the way it's written made it feel like I was reading an excerpt from a larger novel.

To summarise, an overall fantastic piece of writing that I feel was only let down by the lack of time devoted to introducing the individual characters (in a story this short with this many characters, I can see how that may be difficult to pull off though).
(Also, I notice that the link doesn't work any more. Did you take the story down?)

D_C_N: Thank you so much for the feed back first of all ( not sure whats up with the link, the stories still there, but the trscking stats are reset, so I put a new link) and uh, just thanks. And thinking of bandits and guards is pretty much appropriate. Thats just kinda what they are. Most the characters, or, well, all of them, were underdeveloped, probably because I just made most of them up for this story as I was writting it, with the exception of Sera,but she even was only put in because I thought maybe, it be better if I had one of my female charaters trying to save Katia instead of just the man. So, thanks again, and thanks a lot, that feedback pretty much made my week.

D_C_N: I'm working on a second story, hopefully without the rush to finish by halloween I can avoid the flaws this story had, though, in order to explain and make it less confusing, I will need to focus a bit more on my own stuff, distracting from Katia a bit, which is not ideal, but I'll try to keep her the star as much as possible.

Geravind: On the first picture her expression is inconsistent a little: not all facial details follow one particular emotion, but... ouch! Her neck makes it clear -- why. And her fur looks like feathers mostly.
The second picture is almost purrfect!
On the third picture there is only one unnecessary line on her occiput.
Don't stop!

AMKitsune: I like to imagine that a complete stranger has just told her that they love her and want to always be with her, snuggle up with her, protect her, give her a place to live, feed her... You know, all the usual well meaning but ultimately creepy stuff that fans come up with.
Seriously, coming from someone you know would be somewhat ok, but from her perspective, all her fans would simply be random weirdo's. (and let's face it, we're all random weido's in one way or another XD)
