Tales from a magical mystical medieval AU, full of gratuitous glowing gemstones and golden glasses.

A Castleverse sequel? *jawdrop* Hell yes please. :D

Pls to have my women-preg Jon/Stephen AU babies kthxbai. XD

[ptahrrific]

I've been holding off on posting this index because I don't want to jinx myself on the actual writing...but by this point I have a few solid chapters, so I think the fic is in the clear. (Knock wood.)

Ironic comment is ironic, as this may be the 'verse in which I finally manage to write some magical fempreg XD (Knock wood again!)

*le gasp* Did the chapters increase? Say it isn't is so! Lol...
<3 your Castle Down AU and can't wait to read Castle Walls!

[ptahrrific]

They did! I've reached the Dramatic Bit in the writing, and it just keeps getting longer :D

Fixed, thanks =)

[ptahrrific]

I'm leaving this screened, anon, because it's spoilery! Please comment on the actual chapter instead ^_^

[(Anonymous)]

That's exactly why I used anon, so you could keep it to yourself. I thought you might want to.

[ptahrrific]

Not at all - it was a really nice and thoughtful comment. It just gives away too much to be on the table of contents. I'd love to see it on the most recent chapter, where it could be unscreened without spoiling. (If you don't remember exactly what you wrote, I can copy it there myself if you give permission.)

[(Anonymous)]

You can if you want to, I don't mind either way. I don't want to go around spoiling your stories but they set my imagination on fire and I have to talk to someone. Given you are the author you sort of made the most sense.

-WhySven, formally anon, well, still anon really but I'm going to sign from now on. I lack accounts through which to post, I've been told they are easy to get but frankly it's a miracle I know how to turn the computer on so lets just take it slow for now.
