invisible_ficathon open!

Ooooh, I got two stories for invisible-ficathon! They are both Horn of Joy by Matthew Maddox (from A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Madeleine L'Engle). I asked for the women's take on his work, and I got two lovely stories that do this quite differently:

Summary:

A sister's tale; of Gwydyr's line, how it began, and how it ended. They don’t speak of the story behind their names, not out loud. They don’t have to. It’s haunted them and their kin for as long as their blood memory stretches, to the shores of a lake too far away to fathom and too long ago to comprehend.

Your story made me so happy. I couldn't figure out how to tell you how delighted I was without breaking character. Metatextuality is my favorite thing. Thank you so much. Let's be friends.

I am SO GLAD you liked it! And rather relieved as well; I loved your comment-in-character, but it also made me unsure as to whether you actually approved :) I had figured, though, that anyone who was a fan of Lemony Snicket (and who wrote the letter you did) must like metatextuality... I would love to be friends! (I'll friend you also from my personal/book-rant DW.)
