This was AWESOME! And perfect. And beautiful. My god - you made "Ben of the Tundra" respectable! I didn't think it could be done! And yes, I'm abusing exclamation points here, but dude! You've totally earned it!

I AM SO GLAD YOU THINK SO (HI, LOOK AT ME ABUSE CAPS RIGHT BACK ATCHA ( ... )

Thanks for thinking it was lovely. It was a pleasure to do it.

Wow, this is awesome, I've never read anything like this. I love the cadences of her speech and tale.

Awww, thanks. I can't claim that much credit for the overall style, though, as I'm totally pastiche-ing translated Anglo-Saxon here. Which is to say, if you really enjoyed this, I highly recommend hunting down some stuff in good translation. It definitely makes for interesting reading.

Oooh, your language is so cool here. I love all the alliterations.

Thank you! That's totally a semester studying Old English and a semester translating Beowulf talking, though. And it's actually restrained compared to what it looked like before the most excellent sansets talked some sense into me. Definitely fun to do, though!

very cool! I loved the Beowulf stylin'

*fist-pumps* YAY, I'm so glad you think I actually pulled that off, 'cos I've got to admit that I've totally been waiting for somebody who knew what I was on about to have something to say. *g* Thanks for leaving feedback in general, as well, though!
