This is going to be a little ramble, inspired by This thread, and further ruminated during the week, in which a discussion with a friend eventually turned to the topic of certain superheroes.
I've been told today's a special day for some reason, so I figured I might as well talk to you guys for a bit.
Joyous Birthmas Everyone! Or Happy New Year if you don't live one week in the past. We managed to cling to the earth while it spun one more time around the sun at sixty-six thousand miles per hour. Good job guys.
Hey guys, I drew the coverart for someone's story and I'm thinking It'd be cool to throw a few dozen pairs of eyes on it, if only to witness my skills. You might want to check it out. Or at least give it a chance. Pwease?
I don't know, why did you do this? I haven't read it yet, but just looking at the title and summary I'm going to note that the audience for the original is probably not the audience that you're seeking in this story. I mean, the necromancy audience will eat it up, just as they did the last one, but otherwise I know I read it to see Twilight's descent into insanity, and her frantic, lunatic paranoia get the better of her. This (again, based on the title - which, like it or not, is part of what makes someone decide to read a story, and is important in letting readers know what they're getting into) looks like it's on a completely different boat. That said, I think that disregarding the apparently action-oriented theme, this looks like the best way you could handle showing Twilight's story post-Dead Light - with Slice of life, non-chronological snapshots rather than a focused portion of her immortal life. And I haven't actually read it, so it's entirely possible that what I imagine it to be is different from what it actually is.
Also, as a quick note, I apologize for telling you in Dead/Light to post it all at once. I've recently had a change of heart; the longer it's unfinished but still recently updated, the longer it will be in the feature box, and the more people will be exposed to it. It is very annoying to know that the story is finished, and it's best to not let your readers know that it's far in, but you shouldn't post too quickly unless it's specifically a gimmick. Just in case you took my advice to heart.

Oh noes!
I'm already too much of a soulless husk! I can't sell out on top of it!
