So sorry for taking so long, but... yeah, military job does not leave one nearly as much time as he wishes. Also, since it is now Hanukkah, I have to spend more time visiting family in the evening and stuff. But, rest assured I am following and will try to comment when I have time.
So, this is very interesting. I know nothing of the show, and frankly, without the whole alpha/omgea issues it seems kind of boring. But when you put that stuff in, and add Jori... well, it turns out brilliant.
I ahve to say I still think the world is pretty boring, though. The sections without Jori or when they're talking about gender and alpha/omega issues kind of bore me, like filler material because the world cannot solely revolve around Jori and those issues.
Anyway, when you do hit those issues, you hit them spot on. I loved all the stuff about omegas, betas and alphas, thought I'm not sure I understand yet why the stereotypes are what they are and why female alphas are so despised. You write that's it's an invitation to gang-rape, and that really makes me wonder about all this. I mean, we saw in Tori's report that the world seems rather normal now. But then there are all the implications of Alphas being able to rape omegas at will and come out innocent, and alphas practically owning omegas, and so forth. It's all very confusing - would you mind explaining a bit more? I like how you've handled it so far, I just don't understand the issues at hand because, well, I don't understand the culture. And the whole 'knotting' thing - what does that even mean? Is it like finding your optimal mate? Does it entail a physical reaction of actual knotting? Does that mean all female alphas have dicks? I'm very confused.
In any case, though, obviously the main focus is on the relationship, and I love how amazingly you write it, with Tori so clueless and despite being the Alpha, not acting like it at all, and Jade being the omega but acting a lot more like the alpha. It;s the kind of interaction and relationship I love to see you write, where there is a constant power exchange and it is unequal, and the relationship will only become stable if it equals. I really enjoy it, especially Tori's confusion and Jade's anger and determination. I hope to see more of it soon.
