BTW did you read my IW entry? It was oldschool but I did not do your characters justice. --Xstryker 20:22, 7 August 2006 (CDT)

I've been so busy at work and still getting settled into my new place that I've only just gotten around to it. I really, really enjoyed the concept of it. This is going to sound corny, but so much of what Kupopolis is now is so completely foreign to me that it made me feel warm inside to see so many familiar faces, even if I didn't care for some of the characterization choices. It was like coming home again.

I adored Rainere's chat with Celiose. It really encapsulated the issue of religion in Kupop in a way that I think no one else really "gets" (from what I've read). I'll sort of be addressing this in my Moonchild story arc, which I'm still plugging away at.

I'll be honest and say I didn't particularly care for the Shana/Zelda interaction, but please don't take that personally, as I'm completely unhappy with the way Shana's been portrayed in Kupop since I left. She's a very, very tricky character to get right, and sometimes I can't even manage it. On the positive side, her need for a quiet, simple life is something that I think you captured well. It's just that the reasons for it are a lot different than everyone thinks. No one's really to blame for it though, because you guys just don't know the depth of her backstory (including Travis). Yay for Wikis! Zelda also came off a little more shrewish and shallow than I would have liked, but I'm glad someone remembered Christian.

Overall I enjoyed it, and I really appreciated your efforts. It's motivating me to get my ass in gear. --Aurora 21:46, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
