chapter post

Apparently FF.net had a glitch in their update system or something, and new updates were disabled for about half a day.  I went back to check it out and didn't have a problem finding the second chapter for Paradise Lost, but if any of you still are and you want, leave (or send me) your email address and I'll send it via Word file.  I'd post it, but I still haven't figured out how to do those damn LJ cut things.

Thank you to everyone who's reviewed.  They really made me feel better about posting a new story.  (I can't believe I worded it that way.  I feel like I should be lying on one of those couch things and telling some Ph.D sod about my childhood.)  But seriously, thank you.

Review Reply for Paradise Lost

Who or what did Riddle do to Harry?
You'll find out later.  Personally, I prefer to be told things slowly, rather than have everything thrown at me right in the beginning.  And no, it's not the cliche jealous ex-boyfriend.  Harry's paranoid for a good reason.

What about Sirius and Remus, who are they, what are they?
Oh, complicated one, and once again something you find out later about.

What is the chaos?
When the angels fell from Heaven, they fell through Chaos to Hell.  To me, Chaos just refers to everything in Hell's domain.  Officially, it could mean something entirely different.  Possibly the Abyss that spans the divide between Hell and Earth.  -_-;;

Why does Harry a mortal? Have a dragon?
Is he human? Was he involved with the war in heaven? 
Uh, I don't understand the first part.  'Dragon' is a name in the Book of Revelation for the devil, which was what inspired the whole Devil!Draco thing.  And yes, Harry's human, never had anything to do with the war.  I thought making him the incarnation of some angel like Michael would have been just....lame.

What about Zabini and the 'my love' remark from Draco? What does that mean?
Zabini is the angel Belial, as Draco calls him.  Blaise Zabini is his human moniker, just as Draco Malfoy is Lucifer's and Severus Snape is...well, I can't say.  :)  'My love'?  Dunno.  I always figured Belial and Lucifer might have had some casual flings going on, casual lovers - I mean, they are the two proudest, most beautiful angels, and I just imagined Draco saying it in the cruelest, mocking voice.  Christ, I'm such a fangirl... 

Basically what the hell is going on? But also, I absolutely love this story. Keep up the most awesome work, coolsa.
No pun intended.  ;P  Er, well, things should make more sense soon...  Don't forget the italicized part of the prologue.  That's a pretty damn big hint for the original reason Draco went after Harry, and for my characterization of Lucifer in general.  And thank you.

p.s. keep the notefoots at the bottom of the page please... It's right there and I understand it and where it fits in the story.
That seems to be the general consensus.  No problem, I'll just try to keep them brief and to-the-point (but there's just so much information...!)
