However, before I even consider doing either, I'd like to open a little
question to everyone.

Why do you read stories posted to .castle (or anywhere on lugnet)?  Do you read
them for the plot lines?  Do you read them to be nice to the person who posted?
Do you read them not for the story but merely for the eye candy (pictures)?  A
combo of these, or some other reason entirely?

So what do you think?

I have to admit, I like it both ways, without the pictures and with the pictures.

I guess I just feel you got a little deeper into the story line in the chapters
without pictures.  I like the progression you've done from the start of the story
with only have one picture and some text on a page to having 3 or 4 pictures and
text on a page, you have some time to relax and think about the story without
'flipping' pages so fast.    I might suggest you rework those early pages into
the
format you've grown into in the last few chapters. (I know, it's a lot of work!)

I know I wouldn't mind a couple more chapters without pictures, if you'll take us
deeper into the plot of the story.  Though, this late into the story that might
not
be possible.  Of course I do very much enjoy the eye candy of your pictures, your
editing is superb on the pictures and they tell a lot without even reading the
story.

Just my 2 bricks :)
