ohh, nice. 4 and 5 are my favourites - macaulay culkin! <3

[hope]

thanks!

and, eep! *fixes up spelling*

[joshy.livejournal.com]

these are great! I love 1,3 and 5 :D

[hope]

yay! i'm glad you liked it :)

Wonderful. I love fairy tales.

You said to see if we could guess, so, erm. I'm guessing Snow White...something...Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel and....something else. Beauty and the Beast? Heh. I suck.

You, on the other hand, don't. I love the imagery of these, I can see very one very clearly although I think this is my favourite:

when she takes another step forward and drives the shovel down again, hard, it takes the sight of the red skirt seeping rich heavy from where she stands and into the white to realises what has happened. the colours are bright and stark in contrast.

Mrrr. *shivers* Wonderful.

[hope]

:) i'm glad you liked it. i shall reveal my intentions as to which is which tomorrow or summat.

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

i love them all.

and my guess is

- Snow White.
- ?
- Little Red Riding Hood
- Hansel and Gretel (Or! any other tale where the children get lost in the forest-- but this one sounds about right)
- The Princess and The Pea (or whatever it's called in English)

[hope]

*whistles casually*

no one's getting the second one! maybe it wasn't overt enough. oh well.

I love the last one. It just makes my heart sing. So few words and so much meaning. <3

[hope]

yay :) i was worried about the last one. it was the one i was least sure about.

[hanarobi.livejournal.com]

Oh, these are wonderful. Each one is perfect.

[hope]

thankyou! *lick*

[danachan.livejournal.com]

omg, I love them. Wow.


I'mma guessing (and not counting 2, I'm sorry:
* Snow White.
* Little Red Riding Hood
* Hansel and Gretel
* Beauty and the Beast


... I guess.

*hides*

[hope]

ooo close. *goes to post answers*

[danachan.livejournal.com]

I'm refraining from guessing what's based on what, because I saw what book you were reading at your computer before you posted this and that would probably make this cheating. Plus, it's after one a.m, and I'd be wildly wrong and you'd laugh at me and I'd cry and then Eris would laugh. She's such a little trooper.

/pointless simpsons homage.

ANYWAY! This is gorgeous, very dreamlike and eerie and strange. You do clever meta-meta things with the idea of rps (which in my sleep-deprived brain is connected to the particular style of your photography and also to your academic interests. If this connection still makes sense by morning light, I'll try and elaborate on it) and the fairy-tale reworkings are clever and well done.

Big enthusiastic thumbs up from me, yep.

[hope]

you're meta-meta!

[novanumbernine.livejournal.com]

mmm. delicious!!

n.x :)

[hope]

ahah your icons makes me laugh every time

thankeee! *licks*

[mcee.livejournal.com]

i printed this out so i could have something GOOD to read on the bus ride home and omg omg. whyfor you don't write more rps, my love? this is gold.

[hope]

whyfor you don't write more rps, my love?

um, because, i always tend to want to write things like this and therefore repress it?

eep.

[gal-montag.livejournal.com]

Oh I loved this. Especially five.

[hope]

eee yay :D once again i have to say - i'm so glad #5 works! it was the one i was least sure of.

[gypsyjolie.livejournal.com]

I have to say that I've been missing out - not sure how I missed your fic before. I even added you to my friend's list before I found this fiction journal. now I'm back-reading with joy. whee!

These five are powerful enough to catch my fancy, even without the added zinger of the fairy tale bent. I am mesmerised! you are too clever by half.

1. still stumped by this one, thought it is my favorite...that last line breaks my heart each time I read it. Ummm, The Wolf and The Seven Little Kids? parts of that fit...
2. The Boy Who Found Fear At Last (http://www.rickwalton.com/folktale/olive25.htm) by Andrew Lang? This one isn't very well known, so I made this a link to the translated story...don't know if it is what you were thinking of, but hey, I'm placing my bet here.
3. Little Red Riding Hood
4. Hansel and Gretel, I suppose... also a lot like Gerda and Kay in The Snow Queen...hmmm...I just don't know.
5. The Princess and the Pea (love this one! I hope that's the right answer, cuz Orlando as a true princess among lots of poser princesses is hysterical!)

[hope]

i'm glad you're enjoying my stuff! there's not a great deal of it - not in lotrips, anyway. you can see which is which in his one here.

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

Beautifully written! Very, very good, my favourites are 1 and 3. I'm glad that I came over from Mary's hournal.

[queenofhell.livejournal.com]

I love you so much for writing Elijah/Macaulay. I've been trying to write it (or, barring that pairing, Good Son slash) forever. People need to write more Macaulay, yo. I'm so alone! *g*

Beautiful stories, all.
