So I read the rest of COTW2. And again, I found other scenes that I liked. Those scenes with Loxley, when Guy is badly injured and has a fever. And I like your David of Huntingdon. So he finally realized that Guy was his son.
Oh, man. I'd actually forgotten about that scene with Loxley. I was being completely self-indulgent when I wrote that scene, but I did have a lot of fun with it. I'm happy that you liked my portrayal of David of Huntingdon. I do remember him being pretty antagonistic towards Gisburne until he discovered the truth. I really enjoyed writing scenes between him and Gisburne.
I can't make any promises, but I've started re-reading COTW and will read COTW2 after that. I don't know if I'll be able to do it, but I'm toying with the idea of trying to complete COTW2 - if I can find a way to salvage the wreck. I'm looking for a writing project that doesn't require as much time or energy in terms of research and/or plotting, the kind of thing that I can work on a little bit at a time over a long period of time. In other words, something that will work with my current schedule. Like I said, I may not succeed, so please don't mention it to anyone. L has been begging me for years to finish COTW2, so I would hate to get her hopes up if nothing came

After years, all I remembered was that Margaret was in COTW2, rusty_armour. :-) I also forgot the rest. I liked the Loxley scene, but I really like it when Loxley and Gisburne are in the same scene. I love them both. :-D Yes, David of Huntingdon was hostile to Gisburne, but I would not expect anything else. I really enjoyed reading the scenes between him and Gisburne.
I hope you enjoy re-reading as much as I enjoyed it. That would be great if you completed COTW2! There will probably be a lot of work to do, but if it could be saved, it would be great. If I can help you in any way, for example, if you want to talk about your ideas, I will be happy to be at your disposal.
Of course, I won't mention it to anyone. How many times do I want to work on my projects, and then there is nothing because of depression and migraines.

LOL! I'm not surprised! There's certainly a number of things that I'd forgotten until you mentioned them.

It seems strange that I wrote such a scene years before the Sanctuary series. Maybe I had been longing to have them in a scene together. I'm not sure what my motivations were at the time. It will be interesting to re-read the scene. In any case, I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed reading the scenes between him and Gisburne.Yes, I suppose it wouldn't have made much sense if the Earl had been warm and friendly to Gisburne considering that Gisburne is his son's enemy and is trying to kill him. And I'm sure it also doesn't help that Gisburne arrested the Earl in "Rutterkin". ;-) It's good to know that you liked those moments

It seems strange that I wrote such a scene years before the Sanctuary series. - Yes, you wrote it long before the Sanctuary series and before we even met on chat,rusty_armour . Robert of Huntingdon and Gisburne mostly appear in your stories. Loxley appears in your stories, but not so much.
Yes, I suppose it wouldn't have made much sense if the Earl had been warm and friendly to Gisburne considering that Gisburne is his son's enemy and is trying to kill him. And I'm sure it also doesn't help that Gisburne arrested the Earl in "Rutterkin". - It would make sense perhaps if Earl was crazy, and I'm even not sure about that. And you're right, it didn't help their relationship that Gisburne arrested him.
There are some things I'm tempted to change in COTW and scenes I wish I had written better. - Yes, I understand it. I'm in the same situation when I´m looking after years at the pictures that I had created then.
However, I think it might be the kind of project I need right now - Yes, each of us needs their projects. If you think this project is

Thank you very much for your good wishes, raven714. :-D I hope the worst of your depression and anxiety is over for the time being and you can feel better for more than a few days. I think you're absolutely right about the need for projects. I don't feel whole if I don't have a writing project of some kind on the go, even if it's just in the planning stages. I'm sure you feel the same way about your artwork. I hope you manage to find a project that will be suitable for you.
Thank you very much, rusty_armour. I hope so, I really need it.
Yes, I also need to have projects, even if only in the planning stages. I have the tarot card project for grondfic. But I'm not inspired at the moment, so I'll put it off for a while. I will probably continue to build the world for my RoS / HP story. I need to work on more details for my Greenwood school. And I also have to write down ideas for a story in Hogwarts - for my Gisburne and Loxley family. :-) And I have some ideas for new RoS pictures.
