Oh lush! I'm dying to read, but RL is going to make me wait till later. But thank you already, because I know I'll love it!

May the week be gentle and obedient!

I feel a little like a godmother, since I got you to write both Kintsugi and finish the story off for the mini bang ;) You know how much I like it, so full of surprises and your always rich writing. I particularly like the hints we had of the plant's own world, the way it thought and saw its surroundings--parallel with ours but not quite the same. And the way the two worlds came together in the end, blue flowers indeed :) I went back and read the earlier sections again; it's such a finely detailed and imaginative story, like a dream.

:-D It is most appropriate that you feel so, because that's what you are! Do you have the power to get other WIPs finished?

Thank you for going back to read the earlier bits! I was trying for consistency of tone, but it seemed particularly challenging in a longer installment.

In a way, I wanted to do more on Rosebay. When the seedlings' first flowers opened and some of them were blue (so pleased you noticed that bit) was a scenario I had in mind [;-)] and a trip back to the island with Dr Sawada and the boys, but there wasn't time.

Speaking of time, I got the ACD story submitted a whole twenty minutes before the deadline! At some point in the next six weeks, all the ACD works will have been posted as well as the reveal and you may discover that you have indirectly been the godmother of another story.

Now to finish the spook-me story. There's a certain theme going on in there, too!

I'm always available to nag :D

20 minutes before deadline must be a new record for you! I'm not criticizing, you know how I am regarding deadlines... I'll keep my eyes open for the ACD story popping up then. I have the spook me master list bookmarked and will keep an eye out there too. I do want to see what you've come up with, you have a knack for the kind of off kilter stories that work for that challenge.
