Yuletide Comments

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

From: labellerose Date: 02/20/2009 Lovely-like an outtake form the book. Wonderful to see more last of the wine fic.

From: Quillori Date: 12/31/2008 Lovely. Very much in keeping with the book.

From: my_cnnr Date: 12/30/2008 Just lovely - lyrical, and evocative of the book. Alexias as aggressor, and a reticent, duty and honour bound Lysis - how perfect. Too often, I think, that aspect of their charcters goes unexplored...here it flows naturally, as if from the source. I'd hope you'd continue to write these two.

From: Mei Date: 12/29/2008 Utterly, utterly gorgeous. My hand was at my heart reading every line. Just perfect.

From: minnow Date: 12/27/2008 Very beautifully written and evocative.

From: Jae W Date: 12/26/2008 This was great, I enjoyed it.

From: Eyebrow of Doom Date: 12/26/2008 YUM. Thank you so much for this. The tone is perfect: earnest, ornate, slightly ponderous, and doom-foreshadowy.

From: Penknife Date: 12/26/2008 Oh, this is lovely, and just a little bittersweet. Well done.

From: elfscribe5 Date: 12/25/2008 That was utterly gorgeous! Pure poetry and so completely in Mary Renault's style. It could be a missing piece; the one I've longed to read. Thank you.

From: fawatson Date: 12/25/2008 I really like the way the story harkens back to the pankration. Altogether a very enjoyable read (and, like Oshun, I am very pleased to see more Last of the Wine fic).

From: kenaz Date: 12/25/2008 Lush and evocative and tinged with sorrow, just like the source material. Absolutely gorgeous.

From: oshun Date: 12/25/2008 This is absolutely stunning. I was so hoping there would be some Last of the Wine fics on this list. This one knocked my socks off. Adore the way you have woven in the cites from the text with the events of the story--absolutely incandescent. The writing here is beyong gorgeous--I wondering if I can guess who wrote this: if it's not who I think it might be, I believe I have found a new writer to envy and adore. So beautiful.

From: queen_ypolita Date: 12/25/2008 This is wonderful; sensuous and beautifully written.

From: RubyNye Date: 12/25/2008 This is so beautifully in Alexias' voice, it really as if we've recieved a few new pages to The Last of the Wine. I for one may have to print this and tuck it into the bookcase beside my copy.
