*HIGHPITCHED SQUEAL OF GLEE!!!!!!*

This sort of story is exactly why I love remix (hell, why I love fanfiction.) This is an amazing story told in an amazing way, and I love it.

I love the structure, and I love how some of the stories you tell are about the historical Eternals and some are about people who have been called, and I love, love, love, love that Teyla becomes one.

You did an excellent, excellent job.

Oh, I am so, so glad that you like it. I had a ton of fun writing it.

I really wanted to get at how the Council changed over time, and at least attempt to reconcile the Athosians' current social system with the ruins of their world and a tribal council. I'm so glad it came out as a coherent story.

Teyla becomes one.

The funny thing is, I can't quite remember deciding that she should; she just sort of raised an eyebrow at me and took the thirteenth slot.

Again, I'm so glad you liked it, and thank you very much.

Oh, this is really cool.

[siegeofangels]

Thank you very much!

This is really wonderful; god, I get a shiver from the way you make Teyla a spirit of legend. BRA-VA.

Thank you very much. And your comment makes me think that when Teyla was little, her father took her to a fortune-teller, who took one look at Teyla and said, "They're gonna tell legends about you."

[witchwillow]

Given that I lived with witchqueen as she tried to write her story and how much I loved what she'd created (she hears daily my gripe over the Athosians being ignored) - I can brightly say this is just plain wonderful.

And I love how it echoed my own thoughts that Teyla couldn't find Gleena because she already had a calling.

Extremely and fantastically well done!

[siegeofangels]

Thank you so much! I had an incredible amount of fun writing this and coming up with Athosian history. I really want to do a DVD commentary of this.

And I love how it echoed my own thoughts that Teyla couldn't find Gleena because she already had a calling.

That hadn't occured to me, but it makes SO much sense: she's Teyla. Gleena's all, "Kid, you already got a job."

This is pure awesomeness, evocative and deep, and the ending! With TEYLA!

[siegeofangels]

Wow, thank you! And yes! TEYLA. Heck, she's already a legend.
