Anyway, I hope you liked the novel! Longest single story I've ever written.

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

I definitely liked the novel. I would not have given up sleep to finish one I did not like. Your point about the chronology is a good one. Oh and I did think of a great title, but maybe not for your sequel. "Queens and Vagabonds" . The Pevensies seemed to always be setting off on quests and adventures which made them vagabonds as well as royalty. But the problem is that "Kings and Queens and Vagabonds" does not have the same ring, nor does "Royals and Vagabonds" nor "The Royal Vagabonds".

I don't know, I kind of like that. It has a good cadence.

Because books.
I really like Kings and Queens and Vagabonds!

Heh, Gar, I like that title too. I'll have to think if it works for this story--although I would note that I have just sent Lucy off on an undercover mission into the Western Wild. At age 11. So Kings and Queens and Vagabonds may well be appropriate!
And I'm always glad to hear that people liked it.
Anyway, Hmmm.

I just read the most astonishing AU fic in bandom. It's incredibly gruesome in some parts, but the characterization is amazing. It's based off a real-life crime ( the 2003 German cannibal who said his victim had agreed to be killed and eaten ), and I never would have thought a fic using that as the premise would work, but it did.
Obviously, it's not a story I would recommend to everyone, but I found it fascinating and well-written.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Huh. I just opened that, read the warnings and backed the hell out. Clearly I should give it a shot. It wasn't the warnings so much as the idea that it would be done poorly or weirdly.

It was really well-written. But there is an EXTREMELY gruesome section in ... part 2? I mean, in addition to the whole idea of what the story is based on -gruesome. It didn't squick me out, but I have a long history of reading splatterpunk. But I think you'd be able to skip that part of it without losing much.

Hey, is anyone going to Vividcon this year? Can I hit someone up for a DVD? (which I will pay for, of course)

I've decided that, for WIPs, hitting your chapter count and then making me wait indefinitely for the epilogue is wrong. Epilogues should be posted with the final chapter. Especially when most epilogues are "and they got married, had kids, got a dog, parents did't mind that they're gay after all, fences are mended with estranged childhood best friend" etc. That's not the story, that's the grace note after the story is over, and if it's not, then it's not the epilogue. And if it is a proper epilogue, please don't make me wait on for the fluff. Fluff isn't worth me holding my breath for /PMSing
