Thank you.

Thx for sharing. Characters were excellent. Story drew you into their world. Thx again.

Please keep writting.

Fabulous read. Great buildup, believable characters and superbly written. You have a real talent!

Survival of the human spirit at its best!

Thanks for your comments and encouragement! Much appreciated

I wish this formula of high quality, driven, non-rushed storyline combined with non-censored sex scenes were more common in mainstream publications. They are few and hard to find. Even here on lit.

Know that I liked this alot. But just positive feedback can be less than helpfull.

A bit repetetive and maybe boring sex scenes after a while. Skimmed the last ones. (it could be that I found the story more compelling, wanting to get to the end and know if they are all alone or not faster). The romance in poly stories are hard to get right, the relationships felt a bit shallow, was there a favorite? Was there even a significance betwene the MC and his wife? It didn't really feel like it. Just some demands on him early on. Then they all were equal friends with benefits.

The feels at the end was very feel. Good job for that. Good job overall!

Tried to make this spoilerfree, hope it wasn't just a heap of useless drabble.

Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks very much for the kind comments and the analysis. Yes I agree. The one who left the group right at the end developed most through the story and was a favorite. In writing it I was reacting against stories where every new character wants to cause harm and I was not wanting overly macho heros. However if I was writing it again, then yes introducing more relationship tension would be interesting. An additional character who he was particularly drawn to, but who was more challenging for everyone to live with, would be interesting. And absolutely agree, may there be more sexual characters in mainstream dystopian and fantasy books!

I was looking for a good science fiction piece and stumbled across yours. How fortunate. I was enthralled with the plot, pace, and character development. Just first-rate. Thank you.

Entertaining.

Is there anything left to say after all(!) positive/praising comments?

The sex scenes seemed to naturally occur as the story progressed, as opposed to feeling like something blatantly added to have sex.

For me, the Australian setting -- with a slight touch of New Zealand --

gave it an exotic appeal.

I'll admit to scanning/skipping through menus

and some of the building descriptions.

From the viewpoint of 2022, this seems eerily prescient, with New Zealand mostly keeping it out, and Australia mostly failing.

really liked this story but was a little sad that it was Eliza that died

Thank you very much. And yes I was sad too. I liked all the characters (although I agree with the comment that it would have had more drama if there were a couple of less nice/more difficult characters) but Eliza was most special to me.

A very good story.

Scarily similar to what might have been!

Stumbled upon this marvelous story....very thoughtfull & minutely detailed...even if we discount the sex angle, it still is a very comprehensive story...hope to find more of such "survival / community building" stories...much thank to the author for his story-weaving skills

Well that was sad.

No news about Tom’s group? Did they take over the homestead?

Like many other survival stories, there were long winded explanations about daily life, which weren’t bad, only to have the story curtail in a quick paragraph and a half. :)
