Reactions and Reviews
I've just re-read Witchery: A Tale of the Carbon Wars by Verlaine, and remembered how much I loved it first time around! Science Fiction AU Prosfic! Wheee! What a fab world Verlaine has built, and just see our lads, with Cowley and especially with each other! They're just so our lads, and... just... awwwww! I want more of this world! Pleeeeease?! [1]
Yes, I loved it. Yes, Verlaine should write Pros (and S&H) each and every day for us. It was an amazing story. Inventive, different, wonderful. I highly recommend it. [2]
I did [like it]! The futuristic setting is quite disturbing. [3]
Well! I wasn't expecting that ending!!! A tad too much het-ish, really (even though it is slash), for my tastes, but an enjoyable story - a very different story.[4]
Lol - well, it was from a woman's pov, so I suppose it was bound to come over as a bit het-y - but it's absolutely totally focussed on the slash really, even she knows that it is, so I don't mind that kind of "het" at all! Glad you thought it was enjoyable apart from that though! And yes! It was different! Refreshing! *g* [5]
Read it, beta'd it, loved it.*g* [6]
I read it when Verlaine first posted it, and purely coincidentally, readi it again last week. I really enjoyed it (says the 'I don't really like AU's much' Pros fan!)I especially liked the way she established that whole world with just a few odd sentences here and there - and her descriptions of Cowley and the boys was just.... I could see the three of them, coming up that path to her front door. *sigh*
I'm not sure about another story set in that world - this one is so complete in and of itself, and the identity of the narrator is a part of that... hmm.
If Verlaine had another idea which she felt would work in that world, though, I'd say yes - I too would love to have more of this world. [7]
It was interesting, and rather clever, but I definitely didn't want more - for me it was pretty much complete as is. [8]
Originally written for the DIALJ Discovered in Thirty Years' Time challenge, March 2008. A fascinating SF tale with Bodie, Doyle and Cowley still very much in character, and with a fascinating OC. [9]
