*beamies* I'm glad you liked! Thank you SO MUCH for the prompt! I was totally bemused (and so happy eeee) at how readily and how fast it all came out, at least by my standards ... anything over 5k tends to rebel and jump the fence until I catch it again a week or two or seven later. This time I just sat down after reading the prompt, wrote until 5am the next morning and then kept going till this morning between food/shopping/sleeping breaks O_o
I'm wondering how many people are going to laugh and point at me obviously tying myself in knots with Pronouns, The Glaring Avoidance Of. XD Behold my SUBTELLY! I am SUBTEL!
And I blame Tal partially on Mulan. (Am I the only one who fantasises about the Little Mermaid getting her lily arse kicked by Mulan? I am, aren't I ...)
Great movie! I've always wondered, too ... what IS skeetball? And the Queen is the daughter of the goddess of winter and a mortal, yep ... not in charge of anything per se, because that's for full Divines only in this world. She's just a sort of creepy unbelonging thing in between, occasionally trying to pretend to be human or godly but never getting either quite right.
Ni:
1. Argh ARGH ARGH NO that word DOES NOT EXIST in ANY DIALECT and yet I insist on typing it every goddamn time! *gnaaaah* Every time I think I kill it, it creeps back!
2. *dead*
*too dead for winterknightian resurrection*
Dame Edna at the Queen's court ... yeeees ...
We get possums everywhere here, but of course I didn't think of them as being exotic or odd, because I'm Australian and ... well ... they're possums XD 'Squirrel' doesn't have quite the same overtones (possums are nervous and hidey but come out and get into quite destructive mischief when no-one's looking) but I'm definitely going to have to use it, because at least everyone else has them and we're used to reading about them!
Aaawesome. *dons big sparkly glasses*
Thankees SO muchly for reading! And prompting! And possuming! :D :D :D You rock!

Eek, I'm sorry it ate your life..."liked" would be understatement of the month, considering I was grinning psychotically in the supermarket a quarter of an hour later, having had to rush there before it closed being unable to stop reading. 'hem.
Hey, it worked. And Mulan doth rock several kinds of kasbah. Now I'm back from the shops, another thing - I think the horse should move a bit more, it's a scarily still, quiet horse and nobody seems to care...also, Azzie chipped in that a decomposed zombie would be removing maggots by feel, as eyeballs are the first to go.
I still think you could feasibly swap the possums and rats around. Or indeed introduce the indomitable Dame to the story, if only to chase* manners into Ser Madaire...
(*I should really mention how I adore the way the winterknights will suddenly decide to move like snakes, too)

Geez, don't be sorry! :P It's been far too long since I last had a prolonged Can't Stop Scribbling fit, even before my silly summer block. It feels good! You are rocksome!
Hmm, they're all fairly quiet horses now that I think about it (then again, ask Becca - she'll tell you horses REALLY aren't my thing XD). They should splutter and make more of those horsey noises. Swoon before my expert terminology.
Azzie and Tintauri talking shop would be a very graphic afternoon ...
Rats in the woods ... rats in the woods ... I don't know, does that feel a bit venomous to you? Madaire said 'rats' with contempt, as I recall, but Tintauri's mocking without much personal emotion (beyond being rather impressed).
Dame Edna could be the heroine of the story! I could remove Tal altogether. She could take that icky creep Madaire on any day.
Thankees for those, mighty Cecily! :D (Live, horses! Liiiive!)
