2. SEE, NOW YOU'VE DONE IT. YOU'VE GOT ME STARTED ON JESSE. PREPARE FOR A FANGIRL SQUEE OF DOOM.
Here's the thing. Jesse is BRILLIANT. He's an excellent writer, and he's also a decent artist in his own right. I wonder if you've ever come across Metanoia? That's the webcomic that got me introduced and hooked on him (and slash in general).
There are certain themes that are very Jesse, in that they get repeated a lot in his writing (which is a lot of the time slightly autobiographical) -- the psychopath/sociopath/remorseless killer who doesn't believe he deserves redemption, because he's done things (and had things done to him) that have completely ruined him, and he believes he no longer has a soul. Then he meets someone who is so much better than him, who offers him a chance of redemption. Cue denial(!), violence, the killer going in the opposite direction just to get away from him. But then there's this bond between them -- there's a lot of protectiveness/posessiveness in his stories (= catnip for me), and the killer comes to realise that he literally cannot exist without the other person. But it's all done so masterfully that you're rooting for both of them in the end.
SO. These are the kinds of things you may expect to happen here -- only with awesome banter, and a lot of heartwrenching, and romance, and Kicking Arse.
Now here's other thing. Jesse does not update frequently. You may notice that the last published update is in 2009. There are a lot of reasons why (that we know of), BUT. He WILL finish it. I have the utmost faith in him. The man is incapable of walking away from a project, even if it's five years later. Also, he recently did that Jack Saturday backstory that I was flailing about the other day, and he's officially announced that this will be a book (his second), and he's about half-way into writing it, just doesn't want to post more before he's sure he's not going to end up rewriting most of it. So I hold high hopes that there will be MOAR in the near future.
So yeah. Jesse is my favourite original slash writer in the world. If you fancy more -- his first book, The God Eaters, is on FictionPress, too -- you can devour that, it's finished (with a sequel tantalisingly planned). Although I will warn you -- it is going to EAT YOUR LIFE, so set aside a good day or two to finish it (and -- heed the warnings. There is a lot of violence in it). Also, there's a bunch of shorter stories there, and some longer ones -- check them out if you like, though the majority of long stories are WIP. /pimpage
OKAY. So, in short -- Jesse is a genius, and there is likely to be MOAR SOON OMG YAY, because once he starts writing and updating, the man is a machene.
