[He read it of course - it took him a few days inbetween work and his other responsibilities, and he reread a few parts just for fun before replying. OK, so, the strange plot twists were a bit startling at points, but he really had no problems with overly descriptive prose. Her vocabulary was impressive, to be honest. He knew as fanfiction, it might strike a bit to the left of it's target audience due to it's length and detail. But all in all? He actually liked it.
....the fact that it used far more interesting monsters was a huge selling point. He was a little leery of the idea of requiring supplimental notes to define certain things but could see why they were necessary and they were useful in understanding the work. He found himself cross-checking the two documents a little on that second read through of the main story.]
Hi, Kuroneko!
I immensely enjoyed your work. It's a little longer than I was expecting but a far more satisfying read than the source material. Your portrayal of the Sullens as more classically accurate vampires especially made this a more enjoyable read. Your own mythos was an intriguing extra dimension and I have to thank you for the supplimental notes - Hopefully they can make their way into a sequel or a prequel so the depth of your world building can become more a part of the flow of the story. The creative leg-work you've done in establishing this as a familiar yet different universe is great and I'd definitely read more of it either way.
Of course, I offer this praise as a reader and not so much a writer! Hopefully you didn't find my own effort too terrible!
