My mailbox runneth over:

When will there be a sequel to [...]?
I'm putting this here despite the fact that I've put this everywhere only because I get emails like this a lot. The simple answer is...

• I don't know.

I may write a sequel to every story I've ever written or I may not. Everything I write will show up on the News and Tales page withing a few days of me proofreading it. I swear to you I'm not holding back gigs and piles of completed works just so you'll beg.

THE best way to let me know you'd like a sequel to story [X] is to tell that you liked story [X] Or even better, WHY you liked story [X]. I'll infer from this that you'd be interested in seeing more of [X].

Do you accept criticism?
Mostly... fairly well. The lion that is my pride and the tiger that is my perfectionism get into spats over these sorts of things. Yes, its very gory stuff, but I'll spare you any of it should you take the time to send me useful critiques of my works. If I'm doing something that's wrong, either in my abuse of English or presnetation of ideas, then you letting me know could acomplish everything or nothing, depending on how much I care. Either way, I'm going to break it to you gently and professionally, so bitch away about my abuse of commas. Especially if you tell me how much you liked other bits of the story.

Where is [...]? \ Who is [...]? \ Is there really a [...]?
Maybe, sort of and I'm not telling. The short answer is that none of this is real. Read for pleasure and move along.
The long answer is that every person, place and thing in my stories benefits when I can dredge up some bit of reality to infuse it with. There is only one character based (almost) entirely on a real person. Its not a POV character and no I won't tell you which character or who he/she/it is based on (like you'd know the person anyway). Everyone else is a combination of traits, looks and ideas that I've collected. Several female characters are described thanks to real photos I find randomly via google. Almost all the names come from a baby-name system online. The places are sort of real, amalgamations of a lot of real buildings and locations. So again, none of it is completely "real".

You know, [...] is pretty unrealistic...
Probably. I freely admit that I've taken liberties with reality.. sometimes very drastic liberties. I do operate (or attempt to operate) under a banner of verisimilitude, but in all honestly reality can make for pretty boring writing. Horseplay would have been 21 chapters with 8 characters and one strictly MF sex scene if I operated under the strict burden of realism. So the issue becomes the reader's suspension of disbelief. If you managed to enjoy the story despite the two dimensional stage props, the boom mike slipping into the shot and the repetitive dialogue, then I'm satisfied. If not, let me know what it was that broke the spell and I'll consider trying to fix it.

Who is Vincent Dukorr (and other prying type questions)?
Vincent Dukorr is me, or at least the part of me that I allow to explore fantasies and desires beyond what would really be possible, practical or safe. All other personal information, contact data, history and the like is frankly irrellevant to the stories and will not be revealed. I have every intention of keeping Vincent carefully isolated as the master of his small and carefully constructed domain.
