I just discovered your Burning Time story on FFN, and it was truly amazing. Your care in crafting the storyline and maintaining accurate characterization while not letting them stagnate in established patterns is refreshing, especially when found among the puerile dross so common at FFN (I'm sorry, Amon wouldn't gush his affections to Robin at any point within the context of the show, he would not become an effusive lovestruck teenager! especially not two chapters into a story *rolls eyes*).
The extensive use of Italian and Japanese adds a feel of authenticity I very much appreciated, and your extensive research and knowledge of history and mythology added an intricacy and depth that helped it bridge the gap of being a mere extension of the story from the show to becoming a new work almost entirely- I cannot imagine their story playing out any other way.
I am now addicted to your WHR work, but can not find much outside of FFN and you have not updated the Burning Time sequel, Hieros Gamos, since last summer (please say you haven't abandoned it!). OK, now that I've gushed like a little fangirl (not cool enough to be aloof and Amon-like) I will only ask two things, may I have access to your journal and can you direct me to more WHR stories? Grazie, Alli P.S. - Please write more Hieros Gamos!
