Excellent choice of settings. It's a wonder there's never been a Who story set her begore in the canon universe. And great characterization on Turlough, by the way!
Please do not abandon this story; I really would like to see how it all turns out. The dream symbolisms is fascinating, but I need more to go on before I will have enough of it to go on before figuring it all out....
I wonder if, perhaps, Tegan will reach the end of the mystery before Thete and Turlough pass the half-way mark?
Keep writing; never stop!

Unlike the others I have not had to wait a year for an update as I came to this story just recently. Very interesting. You weave a great tale. I, too, like the idea of a "Tegan tempest". It's something I would not like to encounter. Can't wait for more. ~Lisa~
Yay! Have been eagerly awaiting this continuation! Thank you, thank you! The plot is moving along...having me sit on the edge of my seat. Tempest....Jovanka style, indeed! :D Loved it!
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, thank you! :-D I promise it won\'t take me another year for part seven!
Oh... goodness! I was hoping you'd be moving on with this story! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Author's Response: Bwahaha, well I took my good time about it as I promised you this chapter ages ago but it will go on! I don\'t think it\'ll ever leave me alone until I finish it! Thanks!
Thank you for continuing this fascinating story. I feel as though I am in old New Orleans while reading it. You've captured the setting and characters so well!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I really tried for that feeling, that atmosphere that I just love about the place and am pleased as punch that it\'s coming through! :-) Bless your heart for reading and commenting cos I thought to myself \'Er, am I actually going to have anyone left reading after almost a year between chapters?!\' LOL! Hugs!
I love the scene with Tegan getting coffee. The TARDIS would be like that, wouldn't she? I'm so glad that you're continuing the story -- what an unexpected surprise. I hope more chapters are forthcoming.
Author's Response: Ooh, that was my favorite scene to write, and you can just tell I slaved over the details! ;-) I\'m so glad I haven\'t lost my readers out there and -yikes- I\'ve noticed it\'s been nearly a year between chapters! I won\'t let that happen again; I\'m determined to finish this baby up! Thanks so much for reading and commenting! Hugs!
I've enjoyed each chapter thus far. The story is building beautifully, with new twists along the way. I hope you will continue soon!
In the world of www.whofic.com, there are only four words to descirbe this author: "Mrs. Peel, you're needed!" Please keep up the great work!!
Excellent! Thank you for continuing. The intrigue has me on the edge of my seat and the relationship for Turlough is great.
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's much heartening (and quite good for my already healthy ego, heh ;-)) to see readers coming back for more and leaving such marvelous comments! Cheers!
Another enjoyable chapter. I especially liked seeing Turlough finding common ground with Avril - I thought that was an interesting interpretation of his background. Also, it's nice that he gets some romance.
Author's Response: Ta muchly! to have readers coming back with such interest is really the greatest compliment! Cheers!
I'm thrilled to see you're continuing this story after a long hiatus. I'm enjoying the mystery and the interplay between the TARDIS crew. Can't wait for the next part. I just have one small comment which you can ignore as you see fit: I think you tend to overuse semi-colons. For instance, I think the sentence "Tegan was almost out of her seat to take the girl in her embrace, to console her, when Miss Villier took a deep breath and composed herself; even Turlough, with his disdain of human sentimentality, felt the urge to offer reassurance." ran on too long when you add in that second clause. I also found one instance where one of the clauses separated by a semi-colon wasn't an independent clause, and one place where you had three independent clauses in one sentence, two separated by a semi-colon, and two separated by a comma. I can elaborate in email if you like. Anyway, it's nitpicky stuff. I think your plotting and characterization are good.
This is a terrific story so far, and I look forward to reading future chapters! I am intrigued to see what role Marie Laveau will play in the unfolding events. Your writing style sets the mood and tone very well!
Hi there! This is great. I admire the great setting descriptions; they make you feel like you're sitting in your crinoline and reading and sipping a mint julep. ... and Tegan a goddess?? You've got my vote!
