Wicked! It's so lyrical and intense. Then comes the comment about "bodily shimmering" and it makes me laugh out loud!

Plus, "Ruler of the galactic outer dimension of Albion" sounds so badass.

Yay, 'lyrical and intense' makes me happy, what I was going for. And yes the 'bodily shimmering' line was a little comic relief.

I hoped it sounded badass instead of uh...nutty. Aliens are weird interesting things to write.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, so appreciated!

Extraordinary. Original. Fantastic! Brava!

Ah, four words that make me giddy, especially 'original' and 'extraordinary'.

Thank you!

Wow I really found this fic to be very engrossing and unique! It's not like anything I've ever read before and I just love how everything you write is so lyrical and descriptive!

I would really love to read more of this! I truly would!

'lyrical' You knew it was me, didn't you? LOL Yeah, this was different and definitely taking a chance. It was a wild idea that just came and guess I went for it.

Oh gosh, this was supposed to be a fuller piece, meaning there is a story about the danger and all that. It's mapped in my head, but I have so much else I'm writing now that um, if it ever turns to more in type it will have to wait.

Thank you!

I wanted to set up an intentional 'rhythm' so glad it seemed that way. And yeah, I debated even entering this fic because the tone is um, sort of different. But it was an idea that just came out of nowhere and grew so fast so decided to chance it.

Thank you for commenting!

This confuzzled me a bit in the beginning but I liked the flow and the contrasts of Gwen's thoughts with all that was going on.

mara93 July 23 2011, 15:45:28 UTC

I edited and reedited the beginning and I knew it was probably going to be weird, but hopefully not too much. I totally understand your comment though. So helpful. :) I'm really starting to love writing Gwen's thoughts so basically just having hers alone in this was a nice challenge and I'm glad you enjoyed the 'flow'.

Thanks for commenting!
