Absolutely fantastic!
(Anonymous) 2008-04-17 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)I don't know how I stumbled upon this, but I can't stop since I started reading. I hope you do get the time to update soon.
Mahabharata is so beautiful in its complexity... I have always been looking for a novelization of the story.
Do you know any other novelizations or anything as such on your web? I love the details you have added to the story, making it come alive.
Thanks a lot for doing this and PLEASE update soon :)
Really appreciate this,
Randomer
Re: Absolutely fantastic!
As for the update, I'm working on it. Right now one of my betas is swamped by real-life obligations and writing a graduate thesis, so I've decided to wait until she has time to respond to the chapters that I sent her, before updating again. ;)
As for other novelizations, Ramesh Menon wrote a great one, and so did Krishna Dharma. Much better than mine, obviously.
Thank you again!
I wish you can update soon
(Anonymous) 2008-10-23 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)The last chapter showed a strength in Yadhishtira's character that was missing earlier. I would really like to see how his character unfurls as I feel that his character in your story has still not evolved to the awe inspiring "hero" of the epic (I don't know whether it happens or not in your version!!).
Best of luck!

(Anonymous) 2008-10-27 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)My name s Rahul and as an avid reader of various versions of the Mahabharat, I must say this is one of the more imaginative re tellings that I have come across.
The breadth and scope of your work along with its detailed backstory is astounding and I really cant wait for the next episode. This is not just one of the better reworkings of this magnificent story but a fantastic sci-fi/ fantasy story on its own. :D
In fact when I started reading it, I couldnt stop and landed sitting up till 4 in the morning reading it.
So please keep the episodes coming and thank you for the fantastic story so far. :D

Re: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because it was in my brain and I wanted to write it down, and then some friends read it and encouraged me to post it. Um, that's basically it!

(Anonymous) 2010-02-10 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)I am a little confused by your note before the last chapter. Does this mean that you are done writing this story? I really hope not. Even if you post the next stuff after a year, it would be amazing. Please don't stop writing this story.

Re: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
For now, yes. But I *will* be posting some more material - namely some unfinished drafts and the upcoming Master Outline - to this livejournal soon-ish, so please look forward to it!
I really appreciate all of your encouragement and support. But right now I really just can't work on this story any more. ^^;;

I love how most of our comments tend to degenerate into hugfests.
Good stuff this.
Re: Good stuff this.
For the record, I have about a years' worth of future material already written. I'm trying to pace the editing and publishing of chapters, however. In terms of writing the draft, I want to stay well ahead of what I'm putting on the internet, for various reasons. ;) Hence the sometimes long gap between chapters.
