Only fantasists and film producers think that the weather will coincide with their narrative whims. Stories do not begin once upon a time, and they do not begin whenever it is most dramatic for them to do so.
Unless you follow the Theory of Narrative Casuality :D

...okay, seriously now.
THIS IS SO BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN. It's so Moffat-ish, and just... Amazing.
I applaud you, ma'am. You are an amazing writer <3

Ahaha, you know, my writing this was a bit inspired by Pratchett - I was rereading The Fifth Elephant today, which is all about stories and the truth and points of view, amongst other things, and then tonight whilst I was trying to write a journal entry, this sort of happened instead.

Thank you very much for your lovely review! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. :)

I love Terry Pratchett so much. All his books are awesome.
Not that I've read them all. But I will, and I bet they're all equally awesome :D
I think Witches Abroad centres almost completely on the Theory of Narrative Casuality. It's all about fairy tales, anyway.

Fffff no problem :D Just keep writing awesome stuff.
Which reminds me, I had an idea for a fic that I really need to work out. BUT SCHOOL IS DRAINING ME ARGH.

He's my favourite author of all time, I think. :D I've read most (maybe all?) the Witches books, but I think Carpe Jugulum and Lords and Ladies are my favourites. I haven't read Witches Abroad in forever, though. Maybe it's time for a reread! :D

He's my favourite author toooo 8D Well, him and J.K. Rowling.
They should both write an episode of Doctor Who btw. IF NEIL GAIMAN DOES IT, WHY NOT ROWLING.
Carpe Jugulum is amazing. I don't know which one is my favourite. I think Going Postal :D THEYRE ALL SO GOOD.
Also, Starship UK = obvious Discworld reference.

Well, Gaiman has done TV/film script stuff before, so it's maybe more natural for him to do it than for Rowling or PTerry? (Though PTerry has done a bit of script editing on the TV adaptations of his books, I guess.)

My favourite books in general are the Watch ones, but really I am mad about all of them. :D
