Cheers,guys! ;D First off, a really, really big thankyou to JenGe!  She had endless problems with my daft Brit keyboard! Secondly, many thanks to ClericWolf , JonF and TrustKill for help and advice. This story is the sequel to 'Dizzying Highs...' It begins before the events in the film, then parallels and interweaves with them,(without interfering with them in any way) unfolding mainly from my main character's point of view. Hope you enjoy it. Comments gratefully received! ;D Oh yes. The title was my very first Photoshop effort. ;D |

Oh. My. God.  *sits staring dumbfounded at screen* That was absolutely amazing! ;D I particularly loved the scenes between Partridge and Mary (what can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic and have this big sappy grin on my face right now ) Fingers crossed for the rest of it soon (Although there is one slight problem; I now have Jerusalem stuck firmly in my head  *goes to plug in Phil Collins CD in self-defence* ) |

Thanks Judas. I'm with you on the hopeless romantic bit! Unfortunately, we know what happens to poor Mary. ;D Jen should have the rest up tomorrow. She's worked really hard on this one. 'Jerusalem' is one of my favourites, but it does do the head thing! *goes to play EQ soundtrack*

Now this is good stuff, seriously good stuff  I'm not one for lavishing out compliments at every turn, because I always feel as though if you constantly say - wow, well done, or yeah great...to everything, you're devaluing the author or creators work in a way. Why do you like something? Say it...and why... Don't like something? Say it...and why... I mean constructive critique as well, not god this sux U r 74m3... So in my case, why do I like Libby's work here... As a professional published author, I can say for several reasons. Character Interaction and development, as a sequel to the first, this is infinitely better. I love the fluidness of the writing and the fact that it draws you in, there are very few things that I read from my authors I use at Dark Quest to write books for us, that totally drag me in. If Libby were working for me, I'd be more than happy however -- you've got a real feel for storytelling and that's a craft that I feel is sadly lacking in today's culture... And it was a pleasure to offer advice/help to someone who is so talented. Keep up the good work |

Libby I think your work is cursed. |

Libby I think your work is cursed. It's just the way I feel *grin* I have to find some reason when I read or view a piece of work now, it's gotten to the point that I am getting more effusive myself... And anyways, you have never gone wow that's great, without explaining why...well...at least not to me *grins* Must knock ego down into small hole again, trying to remain !munchkin. |

It's pity, i'm not that experienced, so i will try and critize as well as i can with my upmost maturity... That's good to hear and that gets tonnes of respect from me. It's nice for the creator to actually know why people like their work, if it's only a line that you find it emotive and inspirational for instance, that's good enough imho. But this is just the author in me crawling to the surface because I missed my dose. |

I'd like to make a clarification about the earlier statement, we of the Lupine Collective would like to note than 99.9% of the EQ-Forums wonderful members do not do the above thing mentioned in the rant. So there we go ;D And I appreciate all the comments I get here  |

Great work, I can't wait for more. Cheers, Echinda. ;D Most appreciated. I have to say, the main character, Kyra, more or less took over and demanded her story be 'concluded'. It's 'Wednesday' when both the story and the film begin to collide. |

Hey! You saved Jurgen, Libby! ;-)
I always wondered if he got out alive, cos the last we ever see of him is standing by the furnaces. Now we know.
I liked the interaction between Preston and Adminstrator Kara- especially the way they were both going through parrallel paths of discovery before they finally both met up in DuPonts office.
I officially offer you the Librarian's seal of approval.
Don't worry, it's a stuffed seal, not a real live animal..

Kyra gave Jurgen some weapons and a way out - the rest was up to him! I like to think he made it - I'm an optimist! ;D

I just had a thought (OK, I know I should look after it, 'cos it's in a strange place! ;D) The poem that Kyra enjoyed Partridge reading is one of my great favourites. It's by the Metaphysical poet Andrew Marvell and is called 'To His Coy Mistress'. Here's a link if you're interested in reading all of it (It's not very long) www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/marvell/coy.htmHmm. Another thought. If anyone wants to hear an MP3 of 'Jerusalem', this is a link. It's a bit ropy, since it's old, but it's exactly what Kyra would have heard on the Victrola. members.rogers.com/dpjames/britannica/Jerusalem.ra |

Libby, I have read all of your EQ fan fiction and I just wanted to say good job! I really, really liked all of them but particularly "Of Night and Light". I love your writing style and the storyline was intense enough that I could not stop scrolling. I read it all in one sitting and enjoyed it tremendously. ^_^ I love how you intertwined your characters with the movie characters and explained when exactly this was happening in relation to the movie. Thank you very much for the story--great work! Keep on writing! |

Once again...many thanks for your comments...makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! ;D
I'm glad you enjoyed the storyline. It took a great deal of planning to interweave Kyra's story with Preston's . I even had an Excel chart to detail the various scenes and work out the chronology.
*hugs*
