Tennis With An Elf and A Dwarf by Grundy, Raiyana

| | |

Fanwork Notes

Somehow Grundy ended up writing the elf and Raiyana the dwarf, despite the fact that Grundy is almost certainly the one closer to dwarf height.

Also, the exchange of letters is not yet complete at time of posting. There is still more to come from...

This is an enjoyable correspondence!

I like both the original characters corresponding and all the little bits of world-building going on.

(I've only got to Chapter 6 right now and look forward to reading the rest at some later point.)

I love this letter exchange and the characters you created so very much. They have such distinct voices, and the world-building in these letters is amazing.

And after the glimpses I got of future letters in our team chat, their joy at the prospect of getting to meet each other in person is making me doubly emotional...
