Woke up this morning to find loads of people I've never met commenting in my journal ... Wheee! (What a nice surprise!)
And can I just say? I really enjoyed your review -- (and yes, not as long as a fic, but I made up for that by reading it over several times to make it last longer)(!) I'm glad you saw layers in there -- because I put together the basic structure just by what felt right, by the images. But then when I actually went through and wrote it, I did try to spell out the layers that I saw in it. Like analyzing my own fic while I was writing it. (And yeah, that's the true and secret reason I love Harry Potter -- because, God, so many layers of myth and folklore in there; Freud and Jung and urban legend et cetera, just out the wazoo, you know?)
