I just spent an hour and a half catching up on Siren's Way. I have 3 things to say:
1) I love it and want to read more.
2) It's amazing that such different pieces can come out of the same source material. It gave me some things to think about.
3) That said, I could totally see our two sorties reconciled. However, I think variety is the spice of life here. I'll probably sneak a nod to Siren's Way in my story.
I think my Miun and your Mieus could make an interesting contrast. Could we have a crossover here?
Now my brain's abuzz with ideas for my story. I hope my writing does the same for you.
(And post! Praise does move the pen, as you've said.)
