The Monster and the Maiden: Ch. 06, Part I
November 7th, 2008
Omake:
All my outtakes lately seem to come from the picture-taking sessions I have for the header images. I spend so much time on them that I can't bear to only show you the image that makes the cut to be the header. Anyway, this one was a lot of fun. I like the Victorian/Steampunk feel of it.

I can't wait to see what Emily finds back there because I don't think we've seen what's behind that bookshelf have we? Also those outtakes are nice. I especially love the last one.

This chapter has made me love Emily even more and I agree with E. Black, the last outtake shot is just pure bliss.

:up: Ah! How could you leave us hanging like that!
I am thoroughly enjoying this story Kara. I really like the lighting you use. I tried to use the radiance mod from MTS but it made everything too dark but I see it works beautifully for you!

Simply Wonderful…I can't wait to see what happens next.

Beautiful outtakes, beautiful writing. And HAHA Emily broke in, lol!
Now where is her husband??? lol! I was chuckling the whole way through especially after her diary entry. Although I am a bit worried that she doesnt feel for Edmond, *swoon* as he does her. 80)
On a seperate note, do you mind if I link to your story on my blog page?

Great writing Kara. One of your best, I think. And a nice cliffhanger. I kept wondering when (hello!) a certain somebody would arrive home.

Loved the outtakes! haha those were just wonderful.
Now to Miss Emily's curiosity…no matter how smitten Edmond is with her, breaking in is not something I think he will tolerate much. That and the fact that someone has figured out what is going on with his security system. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't consider moving…
I loved how Emily set up her surveillance. She must have shown incredible restraint not to drive herself mad wondering what he did when he was gone. She may say she wants to get to the bottom of the magic that is going on at his place but methinks she doth protest too much! Come on, she can't be immune to his charms…
Wonderful update as always! I am in such awe at your work, images and writing.

You story is wonderful! And your pictures are so atmospheric. Text are good too, but english isn't my native language and I can't understand it well. Anyway, I love read to your story. :XO:

Ack- I don't remember getting an email for this one so I'm glad I checked your blog. π
This was certainly an intriguing chapter- I like how Emily's personality from youth translated to her as an adult. She seemed like a troublemaker then and she still is now (in a good way of course). I'll tell you again and again till my face turns blue- your sets are so phenomenal. They really do carry you into another world altogether.

Hey Kara..I was wondering will Emily's brothers make an appearance? I would love to see them all grown up. :XO:

Your descriptions are wonderful and amazing as always. :XO: I'm amazed at how you are able to describe so much yet have it sound interesting and worth reading. If I wrote so much of descriptions, I'm sure to have put my readers to sleep already. ::-*: Heh.
I'm very curious as to what's hidden behind the shelves, but I'll find out soon enough. There is one thing I'm curious of… Emily's not really engaged, is she? I just have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that's saying she is not engaged. She lied didn't she?! π‘ So much for my Rafe x Edmond…!

Hi, i've been lurking around for sometimes. Hmm, i just had to say something this time. Emily is just stubborn!! Well, i'll be upset too if anyone try to doubt or make me doubt my memories. Edward is gorgeous in his own brooding demented way!

First I have to say that I adore "curiousity killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back." and why don't they return? maybe satisfaction is on the cat's terms…
I loved the shot and the scene where Emily is researching the camera footage. The changes in her expression, the difference in the lighting and even the hair..just wonderful!
And the entire sequence…she is so stubborn and so intent and so determined to do it on her own. Edmond and the mysteries surrounding him, and Edmond the person, and whether the two can be separated.
I love where you're taking this. slowly. on little cat feet.

Oooh I love it. The way you get your characters' expressions to be *just* right, it's fantastic…I especially love the picture of Emily looking at surveilance photos, it's so realistic!
I can't wait for the next bit- I sense crazy amounts of drama!
(I'm from GOS by the way)

Dear Kara,
I hope you find success in releasing the next chapter, we're really missing Edmond and Emily π₯ *Where's the Hagen Daas?*

Mind if I ask what font you used for the Diary?
