One or two have been deleted/unpublished since I added them, too. In the longer term, I want to get the RiL list down to about 100-200, but "longer" is the operative word here!Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-53445273783854566772017-07-14T06:12:40.915+01:002017-07-14T06:12:40.915+01:00Whoa.

It was one of those borderline things. Similarly, I gave <i>The Glass Blower</i> a four largely on the strength of its writing, when without that it would have been a three. Tbh it might have been a three these days anyway, as it's probably my least favourite CiG story.<br /><br />If there is a sequel to <i>MLH</i>, I'll probably end up reading it sooner or later, as I do like the concept. I just hope the guy gets some more character development of his own.Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-5954313432950098932017-07-12T20:53:54.260+01:002017-07-12T20:53:54.260+01:00Well, it made me giggle.

I'm annoyed at myself there, as one thing I really do try hard to get right is representing fic and author names as the author wants them.Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-11523710535400611932017-07-12T18:39:00.768+01:002017-07-12T18:39:00.768+01:00Umm... it's spelled Sharaloth.Umm... it's spelled Sharaloth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-14272407231698143072017-07-12T13:54:24.290+01:002017-07-12T13:54:24.290+01:00I'm a little surprised to see that low a ratin...I'm a little surprised to see that low a rating for "The Archer and the Smith," given that everyone seems to love it to an absurd degree, but I've never read it, so I can't say for myself. Though that is a common criticism of it, that it pointlessly plays coy with the smith's identity when it's plainly visible in the cover art.<br /><br />I've read PP's story, I think when it was a write-off entry, if indeed it was. I remember finding it funny, but I don't remember any specifics.<br /><br />"Mister Lonely Heart." Hm. Yeah, I have pretty much the same criticism of it. It's just a vehicle to have Twilight whine about Flash without investing their relationship with enough to make me care about why. And then the story more stops than ends. It didn't draw any conclusions or change anything. Plus it sets up this changeling as the star of the story, then never goes anywhere with him. If it became a series, I could maybe see him as just a facilitator that gets you at everyone else's story, but as a standalone, it just leaves him feeling empty.Pascoitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861834765162800926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-74100292702406876022017-07-12T12:30:32.554+01:002017-07-12T12:30:32.554+01:00Yeah, far too many people just couldn't wrap t...Yeah, far too many people just couldn't wrap their heads around the ending for some reason. :B Oh well.Present Perfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195959811544391904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-83381429754057096122017-07-12T10:42:55.106+01:002017-07-12T10:42:55.106+01:00Whoops – I swapped the twos and threes.
