So, that Yuletide Fic ...
The one wot I wrote?
It was for mk_not_r2d2 and I responded to the prompt for back story from Elizabeth Goudge's 'The Little White Horse.'

Hope you don't mind me friending you! Just wanted to say thank you (again) for the fic, it was absolutely fantastic and just what I wanted. I was so pleased you picked that request, too, because I adore the book. I actually took it home with me to re-read over Christmas anyway, so when I got your story I was extra-happy! Anyway, I've already recced it once at my journal, and I'll definitely be doing so again :)

I'm so glad you were pleased with the story. It was an interesting challenge to write, especially trying to reflect the original 'voice' - which reads deceptively easily, but has all these interesting literary tricks lurking in the text. I was briefly tempted to write the back story for Miss Heliotrope and the Old Parson, but that would have meant a tragic ending, so I settled for Sir Wrolf's tale instead. For which, I have to say, there turned out to be a great many hints and clues in the book!
