NFE Reveals

[rthstewart]

So, snacky and caramelsilver have run the best NFE ever, with terrific fic and wow, what a roller coaster.  The reveals and full story summary are up

I am the greatest anon fail ever, and I will post more later, but suffice to say:

I am jess_in_time and wrote Food for Thought which is written as a series of Live Journal entries, complete with attempts at teen slang and extensive visuals.

I also wrote the last story that went up yesterday, for anastigmatfic, I love not man the less but nature more. You can also read it here   I owe a huge number of thank yous and research notes and yeah, some meta too as this is the so-called "kingmaking" story and that I have been meaning to do for years.  It was a really personal and emotional thing for me to complete that story and enormous challenge.  More later on that.

There is lovely work here in the NFE.  Please go read and review the stories presented.  A special thanks to bedlamsbard for her story to me, Written in the Dust. LJ is also screwing with user names again. Every time I click on the edit button, it starts moving names around.

Revels....

[(Anonymous)]

I loved every minute of both of your pieces. And I read ILNM twice. So far.

So is there an Edmund/Lucy version running around in that brain of yours?

Thanks so much! It landed with a big ole thud over on A03 and ff.net so I really appreciate hearing from people wherever they find it. snitchnipped asked the same question about Edmund and Lucy. She theorized that maybe they do not and in part because they do not are better able to form relationships with their Human consorts in ways that Susan and Peter do not. As my head canon has the securing of lineage of really significance to Peter and Susan, this story also does provide an even stronger basis for that.

It is interesting to think of Lucy's journey in light of anastigmatfic Sun Tides, because, as she pointed out, this Revel gives some additional heft to her story.

I'd not really intended to tell Edmund and Lucy's stories further in this regard. But, if someone has ideas in that regard, I'd welcome them.

Edmund and Lucy would both do it for two entirely different reasons.

Edmund would intellectually understand the symbolism of the traitor being completely chained to Narnia.

Lucy would do it for the sheer love of country.

Oops, I can never remember to sign these things...

See, and I keep thinking that Edmund tries to participate and finds out that he can't do the Revel because of tree pollen allergies. He is BITTERLY disappointed. it would be interesting to invert some of it -- have Edmund with the goddesses and Lucy in the Revel... Edmund swim, Lucy in the egg. Edmund with Xucoatl and so forth. The issue from a story telling standpoint, I suppose, is what such a story would say. thanks again for reading and commenting! I REALLY appreciate it!
