NFE Reveals!
In case you missed it, the Narnia Fic Exchange Reveals went up! Do go check out the stories because there are some really lovely ones. deepdarkwaters wrote a terrific, subtle cross over for me that I really enjoyed so much. It's a great story and I hope you'll check Always A King out and tell her how awesome it is.
And now the MADNESS ROUND BEGINS
I wrote two stories
Mazy Rings Troublesome Things forheliopausa
I had gotten my assignment at some point when, during and around our trip to England. Adaese andwellinghall had taken me to see the Magical Books exhibit at the Bodeleian Library in Oxford and I saw Lewis' Lefay fragment there. And so the idea was born. It was while reading and re-reading Magician's Nephew that I came with the story Come Boldly Unto Throne of Grace. The story is the first time I ever tried to write in the Lewis style of voice. There is a line about how once I went riding on the Somerset levels and my pony was wiser than I was and knew to avoid the rings. That is actually taken from a ride I did do, though it was in Connemara in Ireland and my guide, a very serious young woman, pointed to a stand of trees and informed me that was the sort of place where fairies were sure to be and we should ride by very quickly lest they capture us.
A lot of the information came from the Wikipedia entry on fairy rings.

The second story was for wingedflight21 and I figured out from the prompt that it was probably Winged and I've know her a few years now so it was really fun to do this story. Light to the Misled and Lonely Traveler is a massive crossover. It was a lot of fun in a Hitchhikers Guide sort of way. It marks the first time I've crossed into several verses there, including two book series I've never read.
My thanks to snacky for the great exchange and to buttonloops , starbrow and Jay for the betas on the stories. Unlike past stories, I didn't think either was obviously mine.
