Popping by to pimp the amazing fic Moon River by avarill and taiamu. I've been enjoying the daylights out of it for the past few days, the River and Doctor characterization really is outstanding-great writing and insight, a very catchy plot that seems ever so promising and just a bit of sexytimes by the end. Their interpretation of how Eleven would be around ( Read more... )

I'm so very thrilled you're enjoying our story! Writing River in that particular stage of her timeline was a challenge for me, and I'm glad the story is getting such a warm reception.

Thank you again. :)

You're welcome! It's really brilliant, keep up the great work =)
Indeed, depending on what point you choose to write them it can be more difficult, but that doesn't show in the story at all-her insight is just spot-on!
I'm a bit curious-how do you and avarill work with writing such a fic as a collab, if you don't mind me asking? I have no problem imagining it as far as the plot and planning are concerned, but the writing feels like it's constant, in the style, the quality of descriptions, the insight-sometimes in collabs you can tell a shift when you move from one author to their partner, here I didn't notice any such thing… I wonder how you pull it off =)

Wow, thanks for asking. I'm glad it appears seamless, that is of course what we were going for ( ... )

Ah, I see :D That's pretty fascinating, and does sound like a great method. The result is totally worth it :D
Haha, characters getting a mind of their own. That sounds familiar! ;)

Thanks so much for the plug! There were many times, while writing this thing, that Taiamu and I wondered why we picked such a difficult time period to write it in, but it's so gratifying to see readers really responding to what we were trying to do. Yay!

Oh yes, I see wat you mean… That period is so open to interpretation with the ship, not to mention the full-blown spoilers activity, with Lake Silencio lurking. Pretty complex to define. After the prologue I'd thought their relationship would be more advanced, since he thought he had to take her to Darillium before he died, but it was lovely to see that in fact, there was a lot left to unfold-and it's kind of typical that it didn't occur to Eleven that more intimacy was likely to happen before the end of their story ;)
(P.S.: I was curious about the collab process and asked Taiamu first, since I responded to her comment before yours, but I tagged you in the question so that both of you could answer if you wanted =) It felt silly to ask both of you in two different threads, lol.)

After the first finals, I'd say you deserve a break! =P If you can afford one that is, of course…
Thanks, dear :) ♥
