Story Update

As I posted on Twitter, I submitted Wonderland's Chapter Six to Literotica yesterday. Already I can imagine what the comments will be, mainly because to many the chapter is going to look like filler. FYI: it's not.
I wrote this in the Author's Note of Chapter Six, but I'll write it here too: everything I write in those posted chapters of Wonderland mean something. I don't know how else to stress that.
I don't normally let things like petty comments or observations get to me, but when I have emails requesting that I rewrite the chapter because they hate the story line, or because they didn't take the time to read the chapter through and posted inane commentary about characters that don't make any freaking sense, I do get a little upset. While I won't go into too much detail, I will say this:

• For Tempest's apparent "enjoyment" of her mind rape*, please read this line: "...she washed away her sweat, tears and humiliation..." Need I say more?
• For the missing transition between chptrs 4 and 5: that was my own writer's blooper...and also slightly intentional. This, among other things, is explained in Chapter 6.
• For those of you still confused on what the four species "really are" (this is in response to feedback I've received) click under the "Wonderland" link on this blog. As the chapters continue to post, I'll add more information. I don't want to give away secrets too early.
• And finally, the next three chapters of this story (6, 7, 8 - particularly chapter 7) tell you basically everything you need to know. Chapter Eight is where the mayhem begins - truly - and by then, if everyone is still confused about the plot, characters, the world, what have you, I know then that I have failed as a writer.

Okay, so I've been on my soapbox long enough, but I just want anyone who is reading this to take away - if anything from this entire post - this: Every Inane Detail Means Something.
That is all,

* this is alluded to in Chapter Six via Thatcher's POV. It should explain things.
