Comments on "The Bhaalspawn and the Beautiful."

Kirwond:
     Cute. I liked the soap-opera take on it. The commercials dispersed throughout also reminded me of a few chapters in Popcorn, by Ben Elton. A very good book. Anyhow, I liked it. My only beef with it is that it's typical, overly-dramatic Soap Opera. So, my beef is more with Soap Operas than your story : )

Not a problem, I'm generally not a big fan of soap operas either.  ;) Although this was strangely fun to write.

Thanks very much for reading and commenting!

Very funny!  The commercials were the cherry on top.   :D

Was Ben Elton a writer for Blackadder?

Ever wonder what an impulsive bard would do if she feared her boyfriend Anomen were turning back into a vampire?  No?  Well, read my new fanfic, Life During Wartime, and find out anyway.

Beats me. Popcorn is the only book I've read by him.
