I'm bumping up this masterpiece just because I like it so much!

Oh yes, it's such a good story. I wonder how many of you native English speakers ever knew the word: succubus ??
First I thought it was a word that our author just made up, but then I checked Wikipedia:
A succubus is a demon in female form, or supernatural entity in folklore (traced back to medieval legend), that appears in dreams and takes the form of a woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual activity. The male counterpart to the succubus is the incubus. Religious traditions hold that repeated sexual activity with a succubus may result in the deterioration of health or mental state, or even death.
In modern representations, a succubus may or may not appear in dreams and is often depicted as a highly attractive seductress or enchantress; whereas, in the past, succubi were generally depicted as frightening or demonic.
Amazing, LOL!

As a long time fantasy/horror/sci fi fan, I can say that I have been aware of "succubus" for a very long time. I recall a succubus being the focus of the classic horror TV show "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" from the mid-1970s! I also knew that the male counterpart to a succubus is an incubus. ;-)
As I mentioned in my earlier response to Catharsis, I have had a succubus story on the back burner for many years. Reading this story has given me the inspiration to finish it, or at least make a lot of progress on it. So far, the story is about 47 pages long and will probably top out at around 60. I hope to have it done within the next week or so and then I'll post it one chapter a night. I have consulted with Catharsis and he has given me permission to use the battle between Rowenna and the succubus in his story in my story, with appropriate changes and additions. I'll address all of this when the story goes up.

thank you so much ,great work
Yeah, I love this story too, really wish there would be a sequel, like the ghost comes back or something, that was one hot fight.
Thank you. The challenge with writing a continuation to this is that the quality level of any sequel's twists and reveals have to be just as high as the original's. Otherwise the stakes won't feel as important.
The good news is that the sequel that's currently plotted out and has two chapters completed is shaping up to provide just as many thrills and surprises. Hopefully, it will turn out just as exciting and entertaining for you as it is to write. Can't promise a release date, though. Sorry. Don't mean to tease, just provide an update to last month's statement that there wasn't anything more planned for Rowenna.
"Consequences," Rowenna's mother always reminded her. "There will be consequences."
Oh oh, that's really a teaser, LOL. It's incredible (and great) how the approaching winter seems to have inspired writers to publish top-quality stories (I'm aware that since Catharsis revealed how long time it took him to write this story, I'm know, it can't really be due to the winter).
Anyhow - I love the level of stories, including the latest from jack_ryan
Take care, blizzards might be approaching

Catharsis,This is a first for me but i have to say this.I am a passionate lover of deep fantasy as i have already said on many instances
I am only about 5% into this story and i am a very instinctive person who has a strong success rate when it comes to getting a sense of reading great content ,mainstream or adult
This may sound like a premature call but i will stick my neck out and say ( considering i am a business analyst in my real life :))
This HANDS DOWN is looking like one of the top 2 stories EVER written on the board
I like the premise so much that i am postponing reading it and am reading one page a day
I have done this ONLY FOR ANOTHER series which is a mainstream sorcery series called THE WHEEL OF TIME
You are an exquiste Maestro as a writer.
Just a note to let everyone know that the sequel to this story has been written and will be posted soon once polishing is completed.
