rthstewart asked for E or G or H:
E. Share one of your strengths.
Oh hard one! I am... not sure what my writing strengths are! I think sometimes I do a good job at capturing the feel of canon, even what I'm writing is pretty far from canon. One story I thought this went well in is Beth Finds the Palace Beautiful which is a cracky premise (Little Women in spaaaaaace!) but I really wanted to make it feel like the original canon, even though I had changed so much up.
G. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you've written and explain why you're proud of it.
Okay, this is from Sing Down the Stars, and I'm putting it behind a cut, because it spoils the ending of the story.
( So this story is a Narnia fanfic, about Rilian after the events of The Silver Chair, and how returning to Narnia goes for him... )
I really liked this because I am never pleased with my endings, and this is one I liked. :D I like how it tied the threads of the story together - Rilian feeling like he no longer belonged, Rilian's memories of his mother and how they stargazed together, his mother being a strong presence in his story, despite being long dead - and how it worked to resolve the immediate issues, but didn't give Rilian an immediate "happy ever after."
H. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you've written and explain why you're proud of it.
From New York Is a State of Mind, but Cicely Is a Way of Life:
( Joel returns to Cicely for a visit, and Marilyn is waiting for him... )
I like this because the Marilyn and Joel interaction was so much fun to write! I wish I had several more scenes with them, because I thought they were hilarious (obviously I crack myself up, lol).
