Yuletide Comments

The following are the comments that were made to the original Yuletide post in 2008/9:

From: Rymenhild Date: 01/26/2009 How lovely that Chryse can find a friend who understands her in Hippolyta.

From: Quillori Date: 12/31/2008 This is beautiful and detailed and covers so much, both the past and the present.

From: my_cnnr Date: 12/30/2008 So full of detail and depth - this could stand alone. I very much like the mythic quality of the language - quite in keeping with the characters themselves.

From: metonymy Date: 12/27/2008 omg bffs 4eva! No, seriously, I love this, the history and the dance that carries over into the language, and I really do think Chryse and Hippolyta are perfectly matched. Lovely work.

From: cofax Date: 12/26/2008 Oh, how great is this? I always loved the bull-girls, so it's wonderful to see Chryse's perspective on it all.

From: True River Date: 12/26/2008 Wonderful and well written, full of lively interest and detail. I enjoyed this very much! :)

From: Petra Date: 12/26/2008 The wealth of detail in this and some particular choices of phrase, especially when they are making love, sets this story somewhere between hyper-real and myth. It feels as though it's written in jewel tones, bright and fully realized.

From: fawatson Date: 12/25/2008 Thank you SO MUCH!

It is a wonderful story. I love the way you have her hunting with and talking to Hippolyta, with the flashbacks to different scenes. I love what they reveal about her relationships with her family, Amyntor, and others. It fills in so many gaps and is just what I'd hoped for!

"...life streaming through her fingers like handfuls of water"

Perfect! Along with so many other lovely phrases too.

From: queen_ypolita Date: 12/25/2008 This is wonderful - your take on Chryse is lovely and gives so much more depth to her.
