Wedding scenes in the media I consume are not often things that I felt very strongly about, whether gay, straight, or what-have-you. The Creole Queen, however, is not like most other media. I didn't cry, but I was close. Somehow, the VN medium was so fitting for this story that the events of the intertwining story-lines felt more real to me than if I were watching a staged or filmed production of the exact same thing. Each storytelling medium has its strengths and flaws, and the task of tailoring a story to fit the medium which best suits it is a subtle but very important one; this short story, to me, is a shining example of how the VN medium can deliver a truly unique experience, and immersive in a way which no other media can offer. The Creole Queen hurt to read through, but it was a good hurt, and masterfully done. Thank you.
