spokeHello Once Upon A Fic-er! And thank you for writing for me. Have a wonderful time writing, and I'll have one reading. <3
The Twelve Dancing Princesses This is one of my oldest favorites, that kind of story that you can read over and over. And in any form! Tell me what you see, when you read it. Write the way you'd have wanted it done. I will dance every dance ever written for this. <3
The Lute Player No, really, guys. Is this why you don't have any children to go on these adventures instead? Seriously! How does that even work? How can a married guy be that oblivious, and how does she stand it?!
The Cat that Walked by Itself I love this story, and yet. It does seem very much written by somebody else, who didn't much like cats, for all so much of the perspective is supposed to be his. Lies! Lies and slander and a certain... human centric attitude. (Let's not even get into the sexism.) What does the Cat have to say on the subject? For that matter, cats and dogs can be perfectly nice friends, and all the animals that had nothing to do with it? What does Wild Goose think of this foolishness, say, or Wild Deer? Some outside look at this story would be lovely.
The Girl Who Became a Boy I only read this recently, but ahhhh I loved it. Though I would argue that the title is wrong, in that the main character is just. Clearly trans and I am happy for him and his happy ending. <3
But. But the snakes! (I love snakes, for the record.) What. What are they doing in a church, and why do they even have money? Who decided that the snakes living in a church needed to pay taxes, instead of being some kind of odd miracle best left alone? I mean they couldn't hurt the kid after he'd got their money, so clearly not venomous. And yet they changed him?! What kind of selective magical powers bs is this, and were they not maybe charmed by the cleverness and rewarding him under the pretense of being ticked off?
How does anyone even know they're evading taxes?! What, the snakes slither through town and buy like. Bread to attract mice I guess? XD And chat with the townsfolk? And chase off the tax collectors? How are they not then local heroes. :P Explain please!
And thus I have been my curse of making a placeholder and leaving it forever. \o/
