that was so sad. but i loved it. i loved her. (:

[tessagratton]

Thank you. Arthurian stories always make me sad. Always.

[tessagratton]

Thank YOU! :D

TWO of my completed trunk novels are Arthurian. I have a lot to say. Weirdly, never put it in this space before...

Oh, wow. Powerful... so good!!

That the wizard is bound only to himself, and the trees themselves will one day devour him.

This line made me shiver and nod.

[tessagratton]

Merlin = loser. ;)

I'm glad you liked it. 3rd person present isn't a POV I use often...

[apocalypticbob]

You do it well.

For me, a POV works when it doesn't draw attention to itself. There are stories you read that feel clunky because of their POV, and that's when you know they need a shift. This read seamlessly.

[tessagratton]

I think that this kind of "mythic" voice is suited to a more distant POV, too. But you're right. Most of the time you don't want to notice the writing. Most of the time.

I really enjoyed this!

[tessagratton]

Thank you! I had fun writing it, too - always a bonus.

Glad to hear it. One more to go!

Wonderful and I didn't guess where it was going until the very end.

[tessagratton]

Excellent! I'm glad to hear it.
