But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

So if someone is in the mood for Narnia fanfiction, the Narnia Fanfiction Exchange just closed, and the master list of stories is here: [link]

There are a few duds, but the general quality is quite high. I would certainly recommend: Food For Thought, Dichotomy, Written in the Dust, A Flight of Fantasy (steampunk Narnia!), The Exhaustion of Dawn, Words We Don't Have, Out of Season, and I Love Not the Man But Nature More.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

fic help: my google fu is failing me on staffing/employment as a US Attorney (Organized Crime Strike Force). Levels of heirarchy, who does what, where a guy in his late twenties would be positioned, etc.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Consuela, I still have some trepidation about Narnia fic, but am willing to trust you, so I am poking my nose into some of them. As for "I Love Not the Man But Nature More", how can I resist at least trying a fic that uses

“Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive… We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."

as an epigraph.

Hah! It is a cute epigraph, but I don't think it fits the story, which is rather... primal, and not silly at all.

Woops. I'm writing a story that either lots of people will love, or I'll get hate-mail for.

... possibly both.

I told someone else, elsewhere, to write for the sake of the story they wanted to tell. Writing is one thing; getting it to an audience is another. That won't protect you from a virtual mob set to run you out of the internet on a rail, of course. I'm not sure what would - sometimes there are mobs in search of a convenient target.

Well, I posted it, and (so far) all the comments have been positive.

But really the question is whether I'm willing to post it on FFN. This is a pagan story, and the FFN Narnia community is, generally, really into the whole Christian allegory.

Here's the story, btw: [link]

Thanks, sail! I'm still a bit dissatisfied with it, but it pretty much did what I wanted it to.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Out of curiosity, how are you dissatisfied with it? Nothing jumped out at me as I was reading it (I've been reccing it to some friends, btw).
