Author's Notes

[jess_in_time]

Thanks to snacky for the beta!

Prompt
What I want: For me Narnia has this sense of childhood wonder, like Christmas. What I want is for Narnia to keep that sense of wonder and magic and adventure.

Prompt words/objects/quotes/whatever:
Ok, two prompts. The first is the darling of my heart, and it is a crossover with The Magic City by E Nesbit: I want the two

I am so glad I took the time to read this fic. It is awesome.

Thank you. I'm the real author behind jess_in_time and I really appreciate you reviewing the Food for thought story as part of the Narnia fic exchange.

This is really awesomely cool. I learned history while reading fanfiction! Interesting history. And this was a really cool premise, and well executed. Overall, a great story! I loved it, and think you should do more like it, or expand it, or something. Because it was so awesome and now I've finished it.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. A lot of the ideas here are, or will be, expanded upon in my Stone Gryphon story arc and there is a lot of history in that Spare Oom based story as well. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts!

So, um... I think commenting now is what we call "A day late and a dollar short". But! It's just so, so amazing. This is, this is wow. Other adjectives that describe this work: incredible, sweet, original, creative, intelligent, perfect, lovely, and intriguing. Thank you so, so much!

(And again, very sorry I didn't comment sooner. RL has been stressful and intruded on my joy for this fandom.)

It is lovely to hear from and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I am sorry I could not manage The Magic City. I hope this was an acceptable substitute! It was a lovely, lovely prompt!

I totally cried at one point while reading this--I think it may have been after the final letter? But whatever. This is so awesome. I love learning stuff when I read fic [string theory--apparently you can be wrong in 11 whole dimensions?] so your work is always a pleasure. Lovely, lovely piece. It reminds me a little bit of 84 Charring Cross road. I like to think of Susan and Helene Hanff meeting--perhaps in the sense of "everybody lives and nobody dies" Helene actually makes it over to England before Frank dies and she and Susan have some sort of adventure. Or just tea. Before the plot bunnies eat me, I'll just say "wonderful" and wander off to make tea.

Having seen the kudos and the comment here and over on AO3 for TSG Part 1 I feel it incumbent to say, kindly step away from the computer before rthstewart's fic burns your eyes out. Thank you so much! Susan is a wonderful vehicle for cross overs. I've read a wonderful one with Mary Poppins and there are several good Doctor Who ones as well. I have wanted to see a Susan & Sarah Jane Smith adventure. I so appreciate you reading and commenting. Thank you

I'm not sure it's actually possible for me to burn my eyes out on this--I once read a fic series with over a million words in about a week. also, i have spent entire days (oh high school Saturdays....) reading fic so I have prepared well for this current campaign. :) I'm pretty sure I've stumbled over the Susan and Mary Poppins fic before but I don't think I've read any Dr. Who ones yet. Can't wait to see the rest of Apostolic Way for sure--thank you for all the writing!

So beautiful and well done and just perfect. :) Enjoyed every minute, and the visuals and history were gorgeous. Susan is constantly catching my interest - if I could just find some time and motivation to write!
