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.

There's been far too much else to do over the last two weeks - I've hardly been online at all. I've got at least six or seven new updates from ff.net sitting in my alert mailbox, yours now probably being the eighth - I won't read it in a rush, though, I'll rather wait until I've got more time and can appreciate it. I've enjoyed the spoilers ...

It annoys me, though, that I cannot seem to remember which poem "I love not man the less but nature more" is quoted from. I should know it, but it escapes me.

It is WONDERFUL to hear from you!!!! I hope you are well and that it has been good busy rather than sad or stressful busy. The stories aren't going anywhere. I love not man less (which I shorten to ILM) is on ff.net. The full quote (courtesy of Snacky who found it for me):

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
~George Gordon, Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
