Well, to me the amount of sexual content related to the story one was good in the previous chapter, with some chapters being mostly story, some mostly sex, and some a bit of both.

Now if I had to improve something... I'd probably go for a six chapters only clickable menu,  by getting rid of the chapters that are the farther from the selected entry. That because under the max width LL setting, the width is variable, and so it breaks your menu for anyone but users having the same browser window size than you. 

This put aside, can't really complain about the content itself.

Sounds good, thank you.

I am aware that the menu is a problem, but I'm not sure there is a good solution for it. Right now it should work for a standard HD monitor, but for anything wider things fall apart.

Following your suggestion would still lead to the same problem, I think, because different monitor sizes would display 7 or 8 columns instead of 6 and thus mess up the whole menu again.

I made some changes to the menu to this entry, can you check if it looks any different to my previous entries?

Thank you, I'm also not sure about the amount of side characters. On one hand they allow for some extra stories to tell, on the other hand, they take up some screen space that could be used for Nora, that's why I'm asking. Thanks for your feedback.

There's a little something tasty for everyone in your pictorial stories, master A-N!? In my opinion, good thing you keep balance between seriousness and juiceness of them.?
Some thrilling lines of your stories told me a few interesting things about your charming character.? She can be pretty relentless / adamant and heroic in her actions..
That's kind of sophisticated woman with cool personality, refined manners and strong set of traits. My point is, not limit her to the role of porn actress. It might hurt a part of image your bloody rose.? Fair sex can show their sex-appeal in many incorporeal / non-corporeal ways. Isn't it??

In one of your posts you mentioned that you are open to suggestions, so here are a few from me.?

1) It would be nice if you would consider putting your novels in the form of illustrated books in Skyrim. Files with their script / text placed on LL, could be translated from english into other languages by modders of other nations.?

2) You can also think about making a cyberpunk adventure with Nora based on your mod.

3) Something tells me that animated form of your stories would be also warmly welcome. (short or full-length videos)
Your bestsellers beggs to film adaptations! I'd love to hear Evaloves or Devianna voice in it!

4) Will we find in one of your mods Piazza San Marco and Pizzeria Napoli?????

Absolutely.

I think that's because the width of your menu gets inferior to the width of my browser (which should be among the shortest around since I do use 70% of my screen if not in fullscreen mode).

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Ingame books are technically doable, but in all fairness I don't see the point.

I think it's much easier to simply read the stories here in full screen than in some small Skyrim book.

About 2, I had indeed considered something like this in the past and it's not off the table. In a previous poll (3 years ago) people mostly answered that they would prefer more Blood and Pleasure content instead of something modern, but if I have the right idea I might do it.

Videos are a lot of work and not easy to do in Skyrim, at least if they are supposed to be done well, so this is probably off the table.

Also thanks for the linked armor, I'm always on the lookout for good vampire armors and this is certainly one.

OK, thank you!

All I did was adding a newline command after each picture row. Glad it works, I'll have to edit all previous entries again though...

Well that might be one way to have the menu's width adjust dynamically.

Now there's no hurry, you could always implement this change the next time you'll have to update your menu in the previous entries. But, whenever the moment, don't forget to untick the « publish now » checkbox.

I'm a bit worried, that the story could become to cluttered/complicated with entries coming every 4-6 weeks and some story arcs spanning over month, if not years.

If you're worried about that then try to tie it into Nora's story a bit more that way it doesn't pull away to much from the main plot. Like maybe it affects Nora's path in some way or Thomas's. Like maybe the Queen of your Damned getting upset or something. That is just example about the Queen no need to make that true but yeah you know what I mean. 

Timeless and The Cyber Club are Good I just can't think of what needs improving on it right now on them since I don't use them much. But I do use the Karlov Manor much more and is permanent in my load order since Thomas and Amelie are in my game and Stories.

While I did mention a few times to Alter that I would personally love to see a real-life TV series made in the setting of his world and with Nora-like main heroine, something like that currently is in the realms of fantasy (unless any one of us wins a lottery and sponsors the whole thing ?).  But creating an animated film, or even a youtube animated video would probably take a tremendous amount of time and resources in order to do justice to the intricacies and details of his story setting.

My vote, in this regard, would be for a set of shorter tales made in Skyrim-book format with screenshots from Blood and Pleasure as illustrations and text depicting some of Nora's adventures (doesn't have to be from the main blog story-line). Maybe even make a short collection quest out of it - finding 7 (or any number) of vampiric tomes of a very rare publication, scattered throughout Skyrim, for a mysterious, masked stranger.  Call it "On the Trail of Crimson Petals" (or anything else that would fit) and place the books in locations that Nora visited in her main story. Upon collection of all parts, a player could receive a small gift (example: amulet with Baroness Karlov engraving, a ring or anything similar) and a letter of thanks from the stranger, hinting that she is the Baroness herself or someone working for her.

Of course it is all just a suggestion and ultimately it is Alter's choice what to do with his story. But whatever he chooses, we, the readers, will wholeheartedly support it. ?

I remember I suggested a High Poly Head for Nora but looking at the screenshots you make most of the time for her she don't really need it but I would love to see it only if you ever decide to use SE. I mean you could use LE but I was tired of LE's instability so I moved over to SE. Well I have both LE and SE installed and when I was more comfortable with SE I left LE behind. Using SE won't affect your LE. But yeah I started using High Poly along with Expressive Facegen Morphs and I saw drastic improvements on the quality of their looks as you saw with Stranger. What I did was copy the numbers of my presets. I did not port them over. Much easier that way. So yeah give it some thought if you ever have the free time to do so. No need to port over everything. Start off slowly keeping LE and your work intacted. Just have SE as experiment. No need to worry about the annoying updates there is away to avoid them. I keep the old EXE launcher backed up and that's one way to avoid it because it all you need if you every update on accident but unlikely you will when turning off automatic updates. 

 

Thank you for your feedback!

I had planned for a while now to port her over to a high poly head, but I never head the time/motivation to actually do it, though it's still on my to do list.

As I said before, I don't see myself doing any sort of video story content.

At some point I was brainstorming ideas for a quest mod to get Karlov Manor for a potential Nexus release, but since I moved away from releasing on the Nexus I don't think this is going to happen either.

Hmm.. I see, but who's say that modders couldn't create large-format books for comprehensive stories like your ones??  

Cyberpunk 2077 made some people nice crazy about futuristic things and so on.? Even me a bit, however.. I still prefer a vanilla / orignal theme of TESV that remind me of the middle ages with it architecture, armors, weapons and stuff.?️⚔️?

Sorry, that's not exactly what I had in mind. I was thinking about making videos from ready-made pictures. Something like illustrated e-book.?

I am glad that my contribution might be help for you.?

Thank you very much for taking the time to all explanations and respond to me, Master A-N!?

Hoot-hoot, hoot-hoot. Hello, dear Devianna!? Thank you for presenting your concept / vision about the work of Master A-N.?

Sounds pretty interesting.? Yes, I think that a system of rewarding players with items or skills for collecting this form of knowledge would be a good kind of motivation.
The women are born with a knack for convincing so don't give up so easily.?

By the way.. What about the continuation of your titillating and pro-educative blog??I really love your fresh and elegant literary style.? Your stories are a great source of linguistic knowledge and set me in good mood.? They help develop / enhance my vocabulary and make me laugh every time I read them! My remarks about your sizzling shots might be too kinky for your eyes and artistic soul, so.. I'll keep them to myself.?

Yeah, I did mention that videos would be too much of a trouble. 

Out of curiosity, have you ever considered making loading screen/painting replacers with Nora and her scenery (locations that you've created)? Some of your screenshots can easily serve as art pieces for any number of mods (for example Legacy of the Dragonborn or any of the numerous overhauls).

I have to see, I don't see the benefit yet of turning the entry into a video, at least not one that would justify all that extra work... but maybe I'll give it a try.

I made a private main menu replacer for myself and a friend of mine made a loading screen replacer with Nora and some other characters, but so far I have not. 

Personally I think it's a bit odd making this kind of mod to show off your own character for people to download. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
