Thank you for providing more than one fic this year I greatly enjoyed!

Followed through from MiaMadwyn's journal - just thought I'd say that while I'm indigofeathers on OWL, I'm feathersindigo on LJ (someone got to the name first, sadly). Thank-you for including me in this :)
Such a long list - must have taken you ages!

It doesn't take as long as people might think--I rec for Know-it-Alls so I reguarly fic troll archives in the ship anyway and it only takes a few minutes to enter much of the info each night on a spreadsheet for long completes or shorts that caught my eye. And each of these posts--the actual coding took less than an evening. Rather soothing.
And as for going through all that fic--if it's bad, it's usually bad from the beginning and I don't need to read much--if it's good--like your short--it's a pleasure.

Thank you, also, for focusing on the short stories (and not only because that's what I write, lol). I will occasionally read novel- and novella-length fic, but I'm drawn to the tightly-written shorter pieces both because the amount of time I have to devote to reading isn't what I'd like it to be, and because that's where I've thusfar found the risk-takers and other writers who experiment with form and function and constrained writing.
Yer awesomesauce. Thank you!

I'm with you there. I do love to revel in a good longer work. I think it was Stephen King who said a short story is a kiss but a novel is at least a love affair? But yeah, its the short fic that tends to take chances. It's also my choice if I'm going to try something in fics outside my OTP--because while I might whimper at the thought of reading say, a Remus/Sirius epic, I could see reading a really good short story in the pairing.
And obviously--you know I loved The Frog Prince muchly :-)
