Oh! I've been meaning to drop this meme on y'all for a while! Ganked from approximately half my writing f-list. O.o

Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I

So you know the AU where the Pevensies AREN'T siblings? I think that makes my LIFE. Because they aren't siblings but they still have their epic dynamic and the fact that it's set in modern America but they're still 1940's British people (time travel! yeek!) is like OMG WTF CULTURE SHOCK (can't you tell I love culture shock?), while I'm like YAY CULTURE SHOCK.

And then, oh my god, that one about Kyoshi and giant panda-eel? YES.

...Is Kat supposed to be me? *confused*

Edmund discovering television! *loves* Because of course, Edmund would TAKE THE TELEVISION APART and Lucy would have lots of fun with that too, and they would be SO CONFUSED but utterly addicted to it. Also, how they all become addicted to different reality shows at one point or another. YES.

Also, Lass, remember the Merlin television AU? So, random idea came to me while I was showering (yes, while showering). Arthur technically is in charge of organizing the television reporters for CNN, except he's very busy, so one of his knights Sir Whats-His-Face does it for him. Originally, they broadcasted everything, but then Uther got tired of hearing about how Farmer #283's cow had a calf, so they limited some of their broadcasting. And, that sounds kind of communist.

I was thrilled when you wrote that epic Merlin/Morgana fic, our last day of magic, especially in light of the fact that it's incredibly difficult to find good fic for this pairing. I guess the rest of the internet has not caught on to the awesome yet? In any case, the way you told in flashback worked really well to juxtapose the present-- in which Merlin and Morgana are enemies-- and the past-- in which they explored their magic together and fell in love. Merlin's inner conflict nearly broke my heart.

Man, the two of them are SO AWESOME. I almost subtitled it - it was going to be our last day of magic; the eye of the hurricane, but I finally decided not to do that. The flashback was incredibly hard to work out, actually, because I needed a framing segment and I was having a hard time working that out. But I had a wonderful time writing it, and I know! There is so little Merlin/Morgana fic out there. D:

First sentence: Every hurricane has an eye, a center point, a place of rest where the winds die and for a time everything is calm.
Last sentence: He thinks of the note she will write to him tomorrow.

YOU RECOGNIZED MY LYRIC, THAT'S MY GIRL.

hee. :D

I loved how unconventional your take on MerliNarnia was in Flysight - sure, anyone can crossover Camelot with Narnia, but bringing them together in England! The whole Susan/Morgana dynamic, paralleling (or perpendicularing?) the Edmund/Merlin, and the way you had the fic sort of rotate around the museum - oh how I love art :D

Also, I will forever love your Avatar dream!fic, Under sleep, where all the waters meet. Your insight into Sokka's character through his relationship with water as a non-bender was GORGEOUS and makes me love him even more, which I didn't really think was possible.

[be_themoon]

Flysight came within inches of not getting posted because MerliNarnia in ENGLAND. what was I even thinking? I was so worried that people would think Morgana being immortal didn't make any sense. I think I mostly did it for the Morgana/Susan, in truth. Edmund came in in the background, like he does so often, and kind of appropriated Merlin for his own devious ends. I wanted to parallel Morgana with Susan, to let Morgana and Susan meet someone else completely destroyed by legends. Probably my favorite part of the whole thing was the implication at the end that Morgana had seen the train wreck in her visions and hadn't told Susan or the others.
First sentence: Time is slipping away from Susan's grasp as she strives vainly to pin it down and keep it here where she can see it and manage it.
Last ... fair bit: The phone rings and Morgana gets up

the implication at the end that Morgana had seen the train wreck in her visions and hadn't told Susan or the others.
HOMG afdslkjdsf and Susan breaking something at the phone call *criiiiies* and Morgana leaves! because. oh, shit, wow. that would be a super amazing fic.

See I don't know about Avatar fic, it just doesn't seem like a universe that asks for it, but background fic is always good. And Sokka is always GREAT. and in conclusion I love Sokka. awwww his dad teaching him warrior stances! and like he goes back home and tries to make Katara jealous and Katara splashes him and his dad gives them a look and they shut up XD His battle-facepaint is so so cool.

[be_themoon]

Morgana avoids sorrow. over the years, she has become a little less human. I almost added a scene later, where Merlin makes her come with him to the funeral, but I decided against it. I wanted to leave it open-ended, a little ambiguous as to whether or not Susan and Morgana ever got together again.

SOKKA'S BATTLE FACEPAINT. AWESOMEST EVER. eeeeee! my second favorite part was probably him learning how to put it on. and wee!Sokka&Katara is just too adorable. XD

Your Aravis/Cor fic was totally surprising to read--I didn't expect to read about Epic Romance Which Spans Countries, especially the way you set it against a backdrop of Archenland/Narnia intrigue. (And the new ruler of Narnia! I almost fell out of my chair!) But it was the perfect romance and yet the story was substantial enough that I didn't feel like I was reading a romance really. A+++

ALSO your Twilight AU where it's Edward who moves to Forks and hates the world and has no friends and meets Bella the gorgeously creepy stalker vampire--I thought it was a really interesting commentary on gender stereotyping in Twilight, and also the bit where Edward faints at the smell of blood was hilarious. <333

[be_themoon]

oh my god, I still can't believe I actually wrote that. it actually started out as simply a medium to tell about all the Archenland/Narnia conflict and the disappearing of the Pevensies and Peridan and Corin fighting it out for the throne (and Calormene hovering in the background!), and the utter chaos that fell on Narnia. but Aravis refused to simply be an observer and got involved and then Cor went all steely-eyed and then the entire country more or less went up in flames and I was like WHAT.

AHAHAHA. Another one where I don't even know what I was thinking. but Bella as an extremely creep vampire was kind of fun to write, especially as I could make it clear yes, she is creepy, and Edward thinks she's creepy too, but he needs someone to talk to. writing it in second-person was a really conscious decision too, to make you more firmly in his shoes. haha! yeah, Edward fainting because of the blood was irresistible.
First sentence: You see her the first time across the crowded hallway, her wide eyes clear in a perfect face, and then

[animus_wyrmis]

No, it was awesome! It was so interesting watching you flesh out all the minor characters--Peridan and Corin especially. And your Cor was fantastic--I never expected him to be such a firm and strong ruler, but he was perfect. Watching him and Aravis read the Calormene Machiavelli was FANTASTIC. They're so pragmatic!

The second person worked really well. It was interesting too, that you didn't switch the families, so Edward was really more firmly alone because he had all these siblings sleeping together. Whereas you fleshed out vampire!Bella's relationship with vampire!Charlie. <33
