Apocrypha's shelf — Dreamghosts
Hi everyone ! During her last trip to Apocrypha, Malicia found another deleted story-blog, kept deep within the daedric prince's realm. Though long lost and probably containing lots of forbidden knowledge, she retrieved it, and managed to load it into her Sigil Sphere. The entertainment was such that she thought it should be "very shared, yes".
Allow me to present her last rediscovery :
DREAMGHOSTS
I - SYNOPSIS
Some creatures are natural, others magic. But when a daedric prince calls upon one of the nine gods with something else than war in mind, the result of their affair can only be referred as unnatural. Daughter of such forbidden union, Fiona has Hircine's taste for the wild, and Dibella's love for sexual arts. With such appetites, the daedric Hunting Grounds quickly became insufficient for the creature's curiosity. And so she now wanders in the mortals' world, secretly inviting herself into their lives, when their dreams call out to her...
II - DESCRIPTION
A - Summary
AriNoir's Dreamghosts (M-H)
Blog type : comic / subtitled — Writing genres : fantasy ; erotism ; adventure.
By : AriNoir.
Status : out of order (02-2019).
Everyone has its daemons. Everyone has its lust. But what if the two of them collide into one, while you try to escape the troubles life put you through ? A quite original storyline, with a well cared graphical identity, and a rather dynamic way of inserting text (though excessively dynamic sometimes maybe ^^). Don't miss it !
Recommended start : Golden Cage Insight - Part 1.
The blog's image are deleted, preventing newcomers to discover it. It seems they were hosted on a personal server, and so vanished with its shutdown. That's a pity though, but even though LL's tracking system suggest the author is still alright, despite my best effort I couldn't make contact with her. And so, provided the deletion isn't deliberate, didn't have the chance to remind her about her blog.
B - Critic
Qualities | Drawbacks
+ Remarkable character design
+ Excellent visual quality and identity, with artistically inviting characters, immersive environments,
and mastered poses/facial expressions
+ Creative comic layout for the remade parts, with a very fluid reading
+ Overall staging and mystery in the remade version
+ Steady with content types
- Significantly frequent typos and linguistic mistakes, but that's minor and could be easily corrected
- The readability might rarely be decreased by the too original layout
- Not as varied in content types than other blogs
- Messy sorting... and out of order
Malicia : « That's Adelheit story. She's a gal who keeps dreaming all the time, you see ? Even when lots of things' happening, uh. »
III - RESTORED STORIES
Golden Cage - Chapter 1 : Insight
2017-10-31
Librarian's notes :
The restored entry is identical to the original, except for :
- Tweaked image management (compression, resolution). Having 2 MB large images looks nice but is in fact a big hinder for sharing purposes, even though AriNoir's format is in fact closer to A4 than 16/9.
- Slightly altered title, for clearer presentation.
- Altered feature image, to fit regular 2k/header formats.
I'm also used to receive author's consent before publishing a restoration or a review entry, but as stated before this wasn't possible with AriNoir ; while her work seemed too good to belong in the bin.
