i actually took the effort to properly long in to dreamwidth (which i haven't done since my community RP days. wow.) so that i could comment here and tell you how much i absolutely LOVE He Says, like. My best friend introduced me to it, BEGGED me to read it once she heard i liked He Says He Is An Oceanographer -- and, admittedly, i was a little hesitant to get to reading because i've never read any of the books of His Dark Materials, and wasn't sure if i would enjoy reading from canons i wasn't into.
now, two novel length fics, a movie showing, and a few trips to the bookstore later, not only do i check for updates on He Says every few days, but i own all three HDM books and i am in love. holy shit. aforementioned best friend and i just GUSH to each other about updates, theorize, and i know i've doodled some of the characters a few times (but been too shy to post them...sobs....!) and just. it's so good??
He Says is one of those fic series that just seems so well meshed together that i would be perfectly okay if the two canons actually WERE meshed like this. carlos's science team are so well characterized and diverse and developed, the distinct ethnic choices you've made with the setting, the tie-ins to canon WTNV and HDM events (i'm terrified of once the fic gets to "visitor" -- i have a bet going that they're gonna try and sever cecil and khoshekh and i am horrified.) is just so, SO well done, and i'm amazed and in love with this universe and characters. really looking forward to keeping up with this story until the very end.
(also, would it be too much to ask for a reminder of what your tumblr is?? i'd just love to follow you oh man.)
sorry for the big long ramble! i just have lots of emotions about this series. i've recced it to almost every WTNV fan i know. just sayin.
