In general I try to avoid reviewing in progress stories. However, not only is Prudence quite long, but also it has been running for several years, and may very well continue running for several more.
Prudence is very much a dialogue-based story. Prudence is a very small town, and much of the interactions between characters is heavily influenced by the stereotypical idiosyncrasies shared by small towns, particularly in the earlier chapters.
Mark, a teacher, falls in love with one of his underage students, Kristen. This could easily have lead to a rather mundane story that doesn't introduce anything new. However, Dstar and Velvet Wood avoid choosing more common plotlines. Their are fights between them and the town, but these are quite brief. Rather than a long drawn out seduction as in other stories, Mark, has sex with the student in the first chapter, and there is never any struggle to stop. Further, the relationship is rather quickly revealed to everyone else.
I think the dialogue-based approach provides many advantages in telling this story, as it avoids placing the focus as heavily on any individual character or on the narrator. The reader watches the interactions between characters, but not from inside the characters like in many other stories.
The story also has ghosts, a voodoo priestess, and many other supernatural elements. Not that anyone dares let the people of the small town of Prudence know about any of it.
Prudence will entertain you.
