Mar 21, 2011 17:53



Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, on the top of a grassy knoll surrounded by a moat, there lived a princess in a castle.

Dear reader, please don’t make the mistake of assuming that this princess was locked away in the castle. No, no, no.

m3, what an interesting approach to a one-shot. i love how you entwined the overview and virtual end of yongseo into fairy tale form. for a hopeless romantic like me, i got caught up in the format, although i don't think i could refrain from writing something that tied everything up into a neat little bow, which is why i totally love and appreciate this piece. brilliant.

Honestly, I like stories with a little bit of ambiguity; stories that leave the reader open to their imagination to envision the ending. That's why I ended Love Story like I did, and also how I'm planning to (spoiler alert!) end Royal Stanza, as well. Thanks for your comment.

I really am... Mute. Not once did it mention Yonghwa or or Seohyun, but this is the prettiest of the WGM couple I have ever, ever, ever read. This is just... Amazing. Totally memming this. ♥

mountainmadman, I really do regret not reading all of your stuff. I'm sorry. But this one-shot was just beeeautiful.

Thank you for writing. Thank you so much. :)

Hey, it's you! Where've you been, I missed you! :D I was beginning to think you had left the fandom or something. LOL. Glad to see you're still alive. Thanks for reading.

Happily ever after is the wish of all gogumas. Thank you M3 for writing a positive story for all of us who feel a bit sad bec of their ending. I wish you could write something of Yong and his in laws ( from a man's POV ).

Speechles!! One word...beautiful!!!!
This one is my favorite fanfic!

M3 you are so talented!
Best part is the last paragraph... ^^

"I wish I could end this tale with a “Happily Ever After”. I wish I could provide some closure to you, dear reader. And to the prince and the princess themselves. But alas, there remains too much to be seen, too much to be discovered. Only remember this: maybe, just maybe, and we can have the faintest sliver of a hope, that when this fairy tale was first written, it did contain the words, “Happily Ever After”.

Haha, I was quite proud of that paragraph as well. I thought it summed up their story perfectly.
