Fanwork Notes

This story was originally posted 9 June 2006 on LiveJournal. It was written for my friend Unsung Heroine, for her birthday. UH is largely to credit for the popularity of the Haleth/Caranthir pairing, so for her birthday, I gave her her favorite pairing. This story was posted, backdated with revisions, on the SWG archive on 11 July 2013.

Thank you, Oshun! Part of it is that I'm starting with the newer stuff and going to the old. Some of that you might not have seen, as it was posted when I first started writing.

I really liked this story on rereading. I was not embarrassed to post this one. :) This is another one that I was honestly surprised I had not posted here yet, that must have just slipped through the cracks.

I started revising--mostly correcting typos--on The Tapestries last night, but that's a relatively long one. That one's next: either up today or tomorrow.
