Have a spooky story

[mab_browne]

This year's story for spook_me is a Sapphire and Steel creation. I don't know if I achieved scary but I hope that I achieved eerie, at least. If you haven't seen S&S, Sapphire was played by Joanna Lumley, Steel was played by David McCallum, and the fans have never really figured out what it all meant despite thirty years of trying; so don't let ignorance

Oh, bravo! *applauds* Good Sapphire and Steel is HARD and this has a splendidly spooky beginning and an appropriately making-it-up-as-they-go-along resolution, and a nice twist at the end. *doffs cap to you*

Thank you. *blushes* I agree that this is a hard fandom to write in, and I'm so pleased that this worked for you. :-)

Mm, very nice story, lovely and spooky.

I can speak with a certain amount of authority when I say you need have no worries on the "Mummerset" front ;-)

[mab_browne]

Glad that you liked this. And I'm relieved to get some reassurance re the Mummerset issue. ;-)

EXCELLENT work. Thank you SO much. Wonderfully spooky and compelling!

[mab_browne]

You're welcome. I've been in love with this show a very long time, so I'm glad that I've apparently done it justice. :-)

This is good! You really have that sense of Sapphire and Steel's otherness, and the way they manipulate forces inside/outside time without necessarily being in complete control of the situation. Thank you.

[mab_browne]

I'm pleased that this worked for you. The otherness and the lack of guaranteed control are part of the fun, after all. :-)

I'm still a touch creeped out by the dude actually inside the bark, and the Sapphire voice on this is just lovely.

[mab_browne]

And so you should be creeped out by bark!dude. *g* Poor man. And Sapphire has a very distinctive 'tone' so I'm glad that you think I got it right. Thanks, for both the fb and the beta assist. :-)
