Such fun! It reads as though you enjoyed the language of fairy tales as well as the telling of the story itself, and it has that mythic feel, undercut by properly Buffyish elements such as suborning the three-headed dog (what will the neighbours think?) and occasional leaking of modern dialogue.

Connie: not too bright, but brave. It's good to know, as Connie's the kid I've had the least clear view of.

Connie's very like her mother: has a perfectly good brain, but would rather not use it unless forced to. *g*

Hee! Clever and fun. Definite plot, and gives Bill and Connie a chance to shine.

Thanks! :)

Oh, lovely! The tone was spot-on perfect: traditional fairytale rhythms with just enough modernisms to remind us what 'verse we're really in.

('All in mail, never clinking..?')

Hee! I was waiting for something like that. Wondered if, at the chasm, Bill might have to answer a question about a sparrow, but the riddle-scene you chose was even better.

[rahirah]

If I'd thought of the sparrow thing... :D But I was very proud of the one I did use, as I made it all up myself!

Charming, and I loved all the literary allusions: "The Hobbit," "Oedipus," "Hansel and Gretel," and right at the end, "The Wizard of Oz," with the death of the Queen and the celebration or her not so sorrowful followers. Fun!

Thanks! I enjoyed writing this one. :)
