Ooh. OOOH. This was brilliant. Frightening and creepy and so, so good. (Although the only reason I forgive you for killing Jaime is that you killed a whole stack of other people as well.) Daenerys is... very harsh and regal and about as ruthless as she needed to be, and I really like your Sansa.

Thanks so much! And hee, I felt bad about killing Jaime, but... at least he got a noble death? ;-)

Breathtaking. This is such a wonderfully beautiful and dark fic. I think you've made me hate Dany though.

sophia_helix December 30 2007, 21:57:23 UTC

Thank you -- I kind of hated her by the end too, I must admit. And I do like her as a character; it was just fun to twist it around. (And thanks for running this ficathon!)

That was downright amazing. I really felt for Sansa, and she is one of my favorite characters to begin with. I am so sad you killed her off as well, but Dany's reaction was understandable.

But you killed Littlefinger. T_T

sophia_helix December 30 2007, 21:58:19 UTC

Oh, thank you so much! And I know, there was darkness galore (as my recipient requested). But at least killing people off is canon? ;-)

That was brilliant . I loved the way you wrote the characters. Also, it reminded me how much I anticipate yet dread Dany's arrival. I don't want people to die T_T

Thank you! This is my first ASoIaF fic, and it was really fun to try to get into the different characters' voices. And I know, I can't wait for Dany to show up and be awesome, but I'm also sure she won't necessarily love our favorite characters the way we do. :(

Ouch. Lovely and harsh and creepy, all at the same time. A good exploration of the oft-forgotten fact that Dany is a conqueror, not a savior, and that her character could logically end up in a dark place. Also a good exploration of a way Sansa could go from where she is in AFfC.

Thank you! When I first started writing, I meant to make Dany more sympathetic because I really like her, but it became obvious that for the purposes of the story I really needed to write about her strong, merciless side (the one that's gotten her through so much). And I liked the idea of Sansa just totally disappearing into her disguise if Petyr wasn't around to remind her of who she really was.
