I can't even hope to tally the number of times I've read this fic - and it never, ever gets old. It's perfect. Not in a 'oh, it's fantastic' way. I mean perfect.

I keep meaning to say how much I'm enjoying your turn at the wheel, thanks for a brilliant month!

Yeah, I've saved my favourite two pieces for last. This one was just *amazing*. It's beautiful and sweet and bittersweet all at the same time.

Thanks! I've had a brilliant time compiling all these recs. I really didn't think I was going to be able to keep going, not because of lack of fic to rec but because there are so many! There's tonnes I've missed out (including your wonderful "At Round Earth's Imagined Corners"), but hopefully someone else will have a chance soon to rec some of the jewels that are still missing.

Na, even I don't entirely get that fic sometimes. I don't think it would be particularly merciful to subject the casual LoM readers to such sordid insanity, might scare them away... ;)

Wow. I'm rather overwhelmed. Thank you, I am just ridiculously pleased :D

You've done an amazing job with this rec set, I have to say, getting some representation from so many aspects of the fandom, and I know I've found things through your recs I otherwise would have sadly missed. I hope crack_van do decide to let LoM have a more permanent place, because then someone can rec your writing!

*grin*

Thanks. It was difficult to start with, then Loz started up the recs fortnight and I was able to put my thoughts in order and get a better spread of fic. Plus Dorcas's Masterlist was a *godsend*.

It would be nice to see the fandom recced again, so fingers crossed we have some volunteers. I'm off for a nice lie down now!
