I knew what story that would be before I clicked on it. It's the only fanfic I ever wrote a fan letter about (not that I read a huge amount of fanfic). It's so perfect it's become part of the novel in my brain.
Book: I am a Shepherd. Folks like a man of God. Mal: No, they don't. Men of God make everyone feel guilty and judged.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

I love that story -- I didn't even need to ask which one it was.

I wonder if Richard Adams has read it. I suspect he'd love it too.

Eh. You never know about writers. And given that that story explicitly overturns the male-centered story Adams told to foreground the female rabbits, I kind of doubt it.

Also Adam's "Girl on the Swing" struck me as explicitly equating abortion with murder... though Watership Down seems to not have that take.

Considering it's something that rabbits can do spontaneously as part of nature, it's kind of hard to make a moral judgement on it.

Yeah, but Adams at least had enough integrity as a writer not the leave it out. Of course it has been a long time since I read "Girl on a Swing", so could be misinterpreting...
Found some reviews, and they seem to imply infanticide rather than abortion. So I seem to be misremembering.
