	When I read the first chapter of this, my
thoughts were along the lines of: "Hoboy, another
'Ranma goes to a mysterious land for adventure' story.
Sure the grammar is one of the best I have ever seen,
characters are really IC, and the descriptions are
really vivid, but it's not that great."

Fair enough.  The first chapter moves rather slowly, I'll admit.  :)

	Then I read the second chapter, and my thoughts
changed to this: "Goodness gracious! This is like a
beautiful dream and a nightmare! I have never read
a fanfic that drew me in like a moth to a flame and
never let go! It's just... artistic!"

And filled with neat words like 'eldritch' and 'eidolon' too.  :)

I've always felt that good writing can and should take old themes - The
Quest, in this case - and do new things with them.  'Eidolons' owes a great
debt to HPL... I've tried to create the same atmosphere of, as you say "a
beautiful dream and a nightmare" that he does in his Dreamlands stories.

	After finishing reading it, I REALLY want to
see more than just three chapters! All I can say is
WRITE MORE!!!

It's in the works.  Can't promise anything after the third chapter, but I
won't rule it out absolutely either.  See how I feel after I finish WUE.

Thanks for the comments.  Much appreciated.
