Three Comments on a Story Meme

[gehayi]

There's a meme that's going around, so I'll try it.

I currently have 70 works archived at AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 70 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.

If I'm doing this right, I'm also pretty predictable. #19 :)

[Argh! I did it wrong. I meant #52.]

Bob's Opera. (Technically, it's not so much an opera as the libretto of an opera, but we'll let that pass. However, I still wish that I could have actually composed the music for it and gotten someone to perform it.)

1) Hrothbert's double aria, Eurydice, which he sings when battling, battering and beseeching Death to let Winifred go. It took me ages to figure out how to craft something as dramatic and intricate as that song, and I'm still pleased that I found a type of aria that combined a chant-like song with a passionate follow-up

You very much succeeded. I remember being in awe the first time I read it and am still in awe. I love it!

This bit, I know, was inspiration to my own little drabble of a fic:

As Hrothbert sings the last note, Matefelun looses an arrow. It is aimed directly at the wizard's heart. Winifred spots it and tries to push Hrothbert out of the way while casting a spell to divert it from Hrothbert. Unfortunately, when Winifred does this, the arrow pierces her own heart.

It was! I incorporated your canon...as best I could, anyway.

Also, Matefelun means "kill the felon." I remember spending a LOT of time looking up a period name would sound bad and that would have a negative meaning.

Awwww...thank you! I'm very flattered! *blush*

My canon is teeny compared to what you and Cal have written.

I miss RP sometimes. You made it fun, thank you. :)
