...why not? I don't have too many, but...

I currently have 28 works archived at AO3.

Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 28 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.

*grin* The Family Business, coming right up! I’ll try not to repeat anything from my previous discussion post :)

1. Diana. Seriously, I could write Diana all day. She’s totally charming, totally competent in an attractive way, and totally amoral. What’s not to like? (…oh hi there Duronas!)

2. If you only knew how many times I had to rewrite that last Arachne-Minerva section to satisfy my beta… But I finally figured it out, and now it’s one of my favorite scenes.

3. I like the ending. I like the resonances it has with the twilight of the gods (well, wrong mythology, but you know what I mean) and the imagery of the spiders carrying their message to every corner of the world: that Arachne got what she was looking for in the end (and that Minerva gave it to her), even if it was too late for Arachne personally.

Hooray for stern betas... it's a great scene, totally worth it. And I still get a little twitch of MINERVA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? when I read the end, which is something you probably didn't know would resonate with me but does. Management/labor issues, I have them.

Could we write Diana all day? I think there should be more Diana in the world. Or more Duronas. Or possibly we could just throw up our hands and interchange them.

Psst, your link links back to the main DW entry, not the Ao3 version of the fic. Which is not that much of an issue, except I'm sleep deprived and kept clicking it and getting confused. :)

Ahahaha. Oh Minerva. So confused. Either pick Arachne's side and resign and fight against your family, or don't. You can't have both! But -- although she has her moments -- she's a bit of a coward in the end, as the gods are. (I mean, I empathize like crazy! But.)

(Ooooops, sorry, I can't fix it from here. I meant to link to AO3, of course! Here, have another link!)
