So, let’s see. I realized I should probably put up a few notes about my NFE’s. I had a terrible time with posting and I’ve had to do a lot of RL writing. But it's done and up and one part of it in particular, Katyn, deserves special discussion.
( Behind the cut for blather and notes )And, I need to thank
snacky again for running a wonderful exchange. A true bright spot apart from the great stories has been that I've gotten to know some new people better, including
tantella (the LJ account for
Avia Tantella Scott),
starbrowsings (
Starbrow),
heliopausa (
Heliopause) and
pencildragon11 (
oldfashionedgirl95) (and one of her nearest and dearest! Waves!) We've also gotten stories from people who I've admired for a while but haven't seen Narnia work from them ever or in a very long time, including
therck,
freudiancascade and
Ruan Chun XianAnd this is, I remind myself, the real wonder of fanfiction -- the act of creating, the joy of sharing, and the growth that comes from the inclusive, vibrant communities that grow around those creations.
