Good story, and worthy of a better and bigger audience— smooth the edges and publish it on Kindle!
[When copy editing it, please note that “likely hood” is spelled likelihood, and “after wards” is one word!]
It's like you've shifted into high gear suddenly, amazing story, thanks!
J
At first I was like "Flashback nooo!!" But you nailed it and I couldn't stop reading.
Mate this is a helluva a flash back. But do tell did you actually have this already do led out when you wrote the one of her Tovurn in the forest?and again very very good
This is genius storytelling, thank you for sharing and please consider writing for printed publication!
Man, you are seriously the best author I've read on this site. You should think about writing for a living. Very nice.
I love all the meaning behind the names and hair style and such and am glad that you're leaving most of it for us to figure out on our own.
I am looking forward to the next chapter. I have been missing this story quite a bit.
That's welcome news! As I recall, there were big things about to happen. I hope the Literotica pantheon speeds it along!
Chapter 12 has been submitted, and pending literotica.com approval should be up in the next few days. Thank you all for waiting so patiently, and I appreciate the feedback as always. This thing ain't over yet
Not gonna lie, I only glanced over Ch11, but 1-10 were great. I very much look forward to seeing this one continue.
To the previous reply, what story would he have been copying?
I hey the feeling that he was stealing the story from someone else and they found him out.
Hey Bowoodstock,
I just wanted to thank you for the great story and to wish you the best of luck in your studies. I added you to my favorite authors to make sure I don't miss anything if you ever get a chance to continue writing. Don't let the complainers get you down, they wouldn't complain if they didn't love your work!
Fantastic story you have going here! I loved the whole duel going on in this chapter and some more backstory on Kita. I'm eager to see more of her interactions with Eric too. Take as much time as you need for this story, I can wait because it's amazing.
Hey Bowoodstock! I just wanted to say this series has been fantastic. Even if it's never finished then I'll still enjoy reading about Kita and Eric and imagining all the interesting things they would have gotten up to. Of course I'd love more but the annoyances of living can often get in the way of fantasising all too easily. I understand this far too well.
Still, I just wanted to say this story kicks some major ass. Well done!
just like so many authors in the past Bo starts a great story and then just leaves it unfinished. people he's not finishing the story. for god sakes he hasn't updated since 2010. lets just move on.
I have just finished this story up to this point. I am begging you don't leave us hanging. This is a GREAT story.
Good Mr.Woodstock,
I don't mean to be a pest, but it's been a while since your last update to the story or let us know that you aren't dead.
I've had so many of my authors mysteriously go missing and I don't think I could take it if you joined their ranks. So please...PLEASE let us know your still okay, and if so, working on Chapter 12 or so on of this wonderful story.
Thank you for your time, Zerobeat
Even if you can't write right now, school's out. Could you maybe just update us on progress of the story and your free time?
I don't say this often (since my region has some of the toughest critics ever), so here it goes. This is one of the best pieces of sci-fi I've read in a really long time. Depending on how it was screen-played it could go mainsteam pretty easy. I was really able to see the events unfold in a fantastic way and it moved me. I was thinking of an alien felinoid myself, but I surrender to this author's skill. I truly hope one day to see this go big-screen. Maybe the Theory of Six Degrees could mean someone reading it could get word to Hollywood? Stranger things have happened! Viralmarketing anyone?
Not sure what the guy was talking about with the author being "awful" actually I think that if this was expanded on it would pass for publication.
It's sad that as till now (three months after the expected due) the next chapter hasn't been released. I'd love to see the conversation that started this chapter coming to it's culmination! It may just be a case of writers block (how does one end this story nicely rather than with one race or the other killing the both of them since that's the current logic on both sides...) but from what I've read it would be worth the wait to see how this turns out. I do hope the author isn't stuck with the sexual tension being the only thing able to be written about. It'd still be a good read without what it's lead up to at this point. It would be great to find out Bowoodstock is as good at doing a sexual description as MANYEYEDHYDRA's become...
Keep this one alive because it's one of the few reads on here that's really worth being on a freelance writer's page!
This is suck a wonderful story it should be a book. I hope that one day there will be a sequel. Thank you for such a great read.
Its a great story and I'm glad to hear that you will continue it. It is understandable that school comes first and that a good story is right along with it, so the story update is sacrificed so that the story line isn't. Anticipating the update and thank you for the good story.
I've been checking for an update weekly since your last upload and i had almost given up on this story, but now I'll start reading all the chapters again to re immerse my self into the story and hopefully you'll upload the next chapter by the time I'm finished
Thanks for letting us know you're OK and planning to continue the story.
Really glad that you are back. I really thought that you just abandoned this story like a couple of writers here, just when it really starts to get interesting & things start to heat up, but as long as you plan to finish this story there is no rush. This is an excellent story and you are an excellent writer. Keep up the good work!
glad to see your back take all time you need to finsh just happy see your back and at it agin
What happened to the chapter you said you had ready back in January? The one you said you were waiting on a stable internet connection to upload? Please oh please go ahead and up load that one.
as long as your still planning on keeping up with this storyline I dont really care how long it takes although I am not the only one that checks for a new chapter nearly every day
Hi all...
Jedi-khan, you pegged it.
I apologize for my absence...school kicked the ever loving crap outa me, along with a few other things in real life. I've been having to retake a course, and it's taken all my time to make sure I don't need to retake it again. As such, Kita'thalla has unfortunately been the last thing on my mind. I am however finding more time to myself, and thus more time to write. This project is something that I want to do justice to though, and if I'm not in the right mindset, it doesn't go on the paper correctly. I have made progress on the next chapter, no promises on when it will be up, but writing has resumed. Thank you all for your continued interest in the series, I appreciate it
I hoping that hes finishing the hole series and going post it all at once that why its whats taking so much time
I'm not a regular on this site, but to see writing of this quality on here... Just, leave. Heh, this place isn't good enough for you! I'd recommend Fictionpress.com, or fanfiction.net, depending on what you feel like writing.
You'd still be able to post things of this level of maturity on there, but you'd have a wider audience. You should finish this story first however. Speaking of which. When do you think the next chapter will come out? It's been a long time since I've read anything sci-fi that had such nicely fleshed out characters. Despite some shortcomings, this is rather amazing. Congratulations.
Jedi Khan is right. Schools a right bitch, and we can't hound Bowoodstock just cause we want more story. I'm a writer myself and as much as I really want to finish my story, truth is that work, school, family and friends have to come first and foremost. We can't write to our fullest abilities if we have something hanging over our head.
That being said, myself and many others look forward to the continuation of this fantastic story. And I wouldn't be adverse to a double chapter when you do update, Bow. Wink,wink.
This is public service annoucement to the commenters: if you would kindly wander over and look at his profile, you would realize that he's still in school, and being a student myself, I understand perfectly just how crappy school life can be, leaving one very little time to write or come respond to all the posts demanding an update or claiming that he's dead. So, not being one to leap to a worst-case scenario conclusion, it is most likely that Bowoodstock is just very, very busy dealing with the crap school is giving him.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled program. Thank you.
I think your story is one of the best of the last year. I would really like to see it continued.
Such nice work, keep on with it! ^^
He may have just got tired of all of the shitty comments and decided to tell us all to go to hell in the most effective mannor he could.
No, bad GuyTRPlol. Stop encouraging them! What I SHOULD be doing is telling all those anon's and such to leave off with the R.I.P comments but instead, I'll play along for the sake of argument.
Ladies and gents, being dead is not the only reason someone would abandon a site and all their friends and work. They might have forgot to pay some internet bills *I've done that* or they might have just said 'Fuck it, this community sucks. I'm off' *I've done that* or they might have found a more legitimate use for their time. Like real life partners or school or video games *I've done the latter*
Nontheless, BoWoodstock has been gone for a long time. But when he gets back he doesn't need to look at 100+ comments about how dead he is.
...Just, settle down and play some games on kongregate.com or do your homework. Something people! Instead of spamming/trolling on the internet.
i was thinking the same thing, i REALLY want to hear more of this story.
What would be the procedure if the author died?
Assuming he died, Can another writer take it up to finish it? It would have to be a very good writer. I wouldn't want a hack to ruin it.
this has to be the best story iv read this year (out of over 50 storys) thanks for the great read ;-D
I've been reading this story since chapter eight or nine, and no matter how many times I read it I can't help but to love it! The story is so tremendous and well-written and it's helped alot in my own writing. There is only one thing I'm bothered with.
When Eric kissed Kita it was something she'd never experienced before. Kissing is primate bahavior and I buy that, but while the thought of seducing someone that has never had any "experience" with anything is a turn on, I found the thought of her race not having any own special sign of affection a bit narrow-minded.
But as I said, that's just a small thing - Oblimo's "It's always time" has its spots aswel.
For though our enemies crowd around us, and bombard our walls with rush-threats and hate...
We will be there as the first to witness the diving glory, of the finest work of the prothians!
...Whoa, I messed somthing up there but for the life of me I can't figure out what!
The point is, as I camp here waiting for the next chapter everyone else who cannot discepline themselves enough to check even one a week can bugger off to the faptastic mess of wannabe's and randoms who try to write on this site. If you like this story so much and yet, still berate the Author for not writing more often then you clearly arn't savvy with how authoring works.
Those people, and the ones who just don't like it in the first place, can troll for the life of themselves because it's the only life they seem to have.
Geez guys, even I have better RL standards than you and THATS FUCKING SAYING SOMTHING.
I think it may be time to start getting worried :( We may never get an end to this story
please write more, I want to hear more about Kita and Erics relationship. I might be a hopeless romantic but I like stories with love and an erotic side instead of the usual rape stories so many people post. Please write more! for time reference today is February fifth 2011. Maybe you could write another by valentines day?
P.s. antimatter is stupid.
:(
That about sums it up for the lot of us. Hope you're okay, Bo.
this is an awesome story. i always check for more the sexual tension is messing up my brain. you have these incredinly erotic scenes without actual sex its amazing
All that sexual tension, the Action! and then we get a fucking prequel followed by what feels like the literary form of the blue balls.
Even those of you who say "take your time" or "its ready when it's ready" have to be sick of this by now right?
Hey if the story sucked then i wouldn't care,
it doesn't....
it's great....
but this waiting sucks and you know it
Feel free not to write the next chapter if you have nothing left to write bowooodstock, might as well quite while you are ahead.
God it just feels great to vent a little,
you know?
Starting to wonder if you've WRITTEN the next chapter. Please post it soon.
The next chapter was supposed to be posted almost two weeks ago and you said it was written you just couldnt upload it where you were at at. So we gotta wonder what the hold up is now. I ask because we are all trying to wait patently as possible.
Rarely am I so drawn into a story. I read all the way up to this chapter in one sitting and now I am dying for more. I will definatly recommend this story to my friends. Keep up the great work!
argh, so much tension. I cannot believe it. Can't wait to find out what happen between the
/ignore
So I hear it's 2011? Well I was checking in to see if you posted another chapter and re-read all the comments and as such, I thought I'd give you this song I found!
I'll make the excuse that it's for complaining about the science in this science-fiction novel but my real reason is that I think it's fkn cool.

Ironically it's about interstella travel, kinda.
But yes, sorry to anyone who was psyched out from my rants and good luck with the new year. That goes to you too WoodStock!
I think the only thing this story could use is more! I await the next chapter with bated breath!
This is a great story and you are a great author so don't listen to the people that are saying that you aren't a good author. Take your time and finish the story when you are able and don't rush just to make people happy. Good job so far and good luck.
come on guys, we all understand there frustration, we want more, dont be so harsh when, if not for having more self control, you would be saying the same thing
Dont be an ass. If you dont like it go away. Bowoodstock may be erratic in his posting, but he has great story telling skills. And the reason we are hanging around here is because we want more of his story.
If your gonna throw a hissy fit, at least take a minute to think your sentance out. in the mean time, sit and spin. It'll be up when its up.
The next chapter will be up when the Author gets round to it, so stop bugging.
Also keep in mind that Authors are people, so there could be many reasons for delays.
IMO: Quality over Quantity - take the time you need, I'd rather wait a few extra weeks than, reading a hastily written chapter with a poorly thought through plot.
Keep up the good Work!
It is the first week in January Bowoodstock and you did say the next chapter should be up this week. So does that mean that it will be up within the next day or so?
Spoilers, to whom it may concern.
I'm enjoying the reading specially as sex doesn't seem to be the main ingredient in it. Sexual tension is so much more satisfying and the slow building of emotional ties as well.
I admit, I've never been partial to the concept of "the hidden Princess/Prince" which is the thought of a main character being a hidden very wealthy individual, because earning status is much more satisfying than being born into it.
Now, one thing I would like to see Kita initiate more of the awkward sexual tension. Usually its the human making the logical awkward decisions that will be "known" to both characters, while Kita makes decisions that can be written in a manner that only SHE knows the truth about them. Example1: Connor has the idea to share body heat. They both know its sexually stimulating but necessary. Example2: Kita uses the EXCUSE that she's high to explore intimacy with Connor a little more. Connor doesn't know she wasn't under the effect. Example 3: She's using her attributes on Connor, on purpose. HE doesn't understand its on purpose, if albeit to study his reaction.
Dunno if my point is clear or not, but I hope I've pointed out what I mean.
Have been waiting for more of this story and I wonder if you are ever going to get off your rear and get it finished or at least add some more chapters.
Author here
Happy holidays! Unfortunately, I have a little bit of bad news, the explaination of why the next chapter isn't up. I'm visiting relatives for the holidays, and the internet connection here is very flaky, to the point where every time I've tried to upload the story, it has not gone through. I'm lucky I'm able to make this post. Thus, expect the next chapter to be up in the first week of january. Once again, I apologize for the delays, and thank you as always for your support on this story.
You know how to write! Great story! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I have been following this story nearly from the beginning and it still hasn't lost my interest (no small feat).
I would like to humbly throw out some suggestions, if I may. Now that we've seen Kita's past, it might provide some symmetry if we take a look at Eric's as well. Also, I personally think it's high time they are found. If the Night Claws are as loyal as they seem, they'd try to find Kita as fast as possible. I'm not trying to tell you where your story is going, just offering some ideas.
Keep writing, we'll keep waiting (and loving it).
Please take your time with this story but not too much. A rushed story is never a good one... but one with held to long begins to lose interest.
Good luck and happy holidays to you as well.
Totally understand about finals, actually I should be studying for mine instead of re-reading this story! But its awesome and I hope you keep it coming (when you can)!
Great story, please continue to take the time to tell it right. Happy Holidays.
Wish you all the best with the exams!
(I'm in a similar position myself)
I've read everything now and been waiting first for 11th chapter, now 12th.
As long as the wait times might get, this is the best story for me on the site!
But, as others have said, take all the time you need! And ofcourse, exams come before writing, if you ask me, so good luck with the exams, and keep up the good writing!
Good news and bad news.
Good news is that I'm still working on it, as I've said many times before, and will keep saying, I plan on finishing this at the right time, and not a moment sooner.
Bad news is that final exams are in full swing, and an update isn't likely soon. I will do my best to have it up by christmas/hanukah/kwanzaa or whatever holiday you celebrate though. So, happy holidays, and keep up the comments, I really do appreciate the support.
I'm glad to see the new chapter up. Been checking the site almost every day, even happier to say the wait was well worth it. Keep up the good, can't wait to see where you take the story next.
Can you give us an estimation on how long it will take for the next chapter to be uploaded?
I do not wish to hurry you. Take all the time you need to make the next chapter as wonderful and captivating as the previous ones, but it get's a little boring to check almost every day for a new chapter.
Thanks.
I read this series today, it's awesome.
Thanks for writing, and keep it up :)
My apologies for a lack of update or status. Currently going through final exams, so things are a bit slow, but I am working on the next chapter. I'll try to have it up as soon as the madness dies down
...by pure chance. And loved it from chapter one.
It reminds of Enemy Mine, of course. But I also had to think of Wing Commander for the Ketral and in some strange way of Ayla from the Valley of Haorses (Earth children).
The developing relationship is amazing and the twists are fantastic.
You found a new fan. That's for sure.
Thank you!
But now I have to say: Stop reading this and keep on writing chapter 12, damnit. ;-)
I believe to make a whistle on Lit.com, you need to type somthing like /whistle or whistle.mp3
Yeah, its not legit but people would get the idea.
Kinda like: *OH YERRR! Chapter 11 was pretty elite WoodStock! I shall now dance for you're twisted amusement...
/dance
/dance
/dance*
if i could make a whistle noise come out of here i would it was that great please don't keep us waiting for the next chapter so long
i absolutely loved this chapter and looking forward to many more. You go into so much detail. I cant wait for the next chapter. You are a marvelous writer
