Gorgeous stuff! I especially love that it's a different story from the original.

This medium has intrigued me for a while--are there any rules on how to create one?

[caramelsilver]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The rules of erasures is simply take the work of someone else, and erase away words until you get something pretty and make a poem. The only rule is that you cannot add any words.

Can they be jumbled around, out of order?

[caramelsilver]

Hmm... No. At least I don't do that... No, I don't think that's allowed. You have to be able to post the fic and just blank out the words you didn't use and when you highlight it the fic is all there. Go over at erasureathon and look at the different ways people did it there. One girl even drew a dragon over the words she didn't use. It's pretty awesome.

Oh, I see, just wanted to make sure. I have something in mind, not a fic, but I'll give it a whirl.
Thanks!

Cool! You know you can erase pretty much anything. It's actually a legitimate art form. One dude erased Paradise Lost I think. lizzie_marie_23 erased some parts of the bible. You can pretty much go nuts=)
