    Hello, Hide_My_Sins As a moderator of the archive, when I saw this post I had to respond. I’m so sorry that these reviews have been left for you. After reading your post, I did go to check them out, and see if I could identify the user at all. I’m sure the lead moderator will have something to say too, but we take a very dim view of flame reviewers here. As long as a stories’ tags are correct, this archive is against censorship of any kind. That includes those who leave flame reviews, since often the aim of them is to stifle the free creativity of others. If you want those reviews removing from your stories, we can help you with that. You can also turn off anonymous reviews in your preferences, which would force this person to log in, and therefore stop them from hiding behind anonymity. Lastly, I hope that this experience won’t put you off, and that we’ll continue to see you making use of AFF and the archive for a long time to come. That’s what we are here for. We are all of us, together, a community, though we all write different things for lots of different reasons. When you joined us, you became part of that, and you are as important as any other member here. As I say if you need any help or guidance, just let us know.

      I’ll write from the male POV because I can generally identify with it a bit easier, but that’s me.

      And I do it for the same reason. :yes:

      i actually prefer to write from the female perspective, although I don’t really know why.

    Thank you! You are made of awesome – I’ve PM’d you

    Thank you, Bronx! I know I’m probably taking some liberties with the time framing of all this, but hell.. they deserve a treat after that. So I left one for them. Haha… myself, I’m like, wow, bit of an overreaction there, guys! But, hey, I let them do what they want. Can’t complain if they do it. I’m not sure about Brienne… from what we’ve seen, I don’t think it would be beyond the realm of possibility that she’d join in if she was there. I mean, remember the “Two quick deaths?” scene? She likes her justice. And you are all caught up! If you don’t mind, and when you have some time, let me know if you are happy to read through the next chapter for me. It’s the Tyrion one. Just now, I’ve let it happen in Clegane’s pov, because I think the reveal works better that way. But… I keep referring to it in my head as the Tyrion Monster, because it’s one of those that existed for a good week or two on my machine as plain dialogue like a script, and I’ve had to do all the shading in, and you’re never quite sure when you do that if it reads properly. :/

    Thank you… Oh… I kid you not, I didn’t know if I’d be able to do it. I’d known for a while I was going to try it, and I knew the reasoning, and the angle I was going to use, and I still though. Shit, no… the muse will kill me. But.. it happened. Poor bugger. But it fits! That’s the thing! When you think about Arya etc. It fits so well it has to be right. IMO anyway.. Poor sod. If it means anything. He’s currently there right now in my libre office. Or just about to be, for real. *giggles*

    Thank you Honestly, I couldn’t rush these characters. If I tried, I’d completely lose them. She needs a lot of time, and he does too. Tormund, not so much, which is why he kind of took a back seat near the beginning of it all. He’s coming to the forefront more now, though. And especially as they begin in earnest. That surprise is on its way. I’m hoping it will appeal to Brienne’s romantic heart, and I think it will. She follows the seven, so she doesn’t need to take it so seriously, which will help. The getting there will be quite dramatic though. Brienne’s fears… it seemed to me that she’d had the courage to do all these different things, talking about what came next would really be natural. And she demands to be taken seriously for them too. She not a girl, she’s a woman, and I think both Tormund and Clegane understand that quite well. They know she’s not silly. Having said that, I think they were both fairly alarmed too, and clueless, lol.
  9. pippychick
    Thank you so much! I honestly found that scene bloody horrible to watch. Brienne deserves so much better, and I was so glad when Jaime rescued her. I think at this point, anyone who threatens her would get a great deal of violence from the two of them. I can easily imagine her getting all pissed off at being interrupted though, lol. Oh, I think she’d need to beat them down. She’s never going to lie back and think of Westeros, is she? Not even when she’s liking it
  10. pippychick
    Thank you again! Ah, but Podrick has now shown himself to be capable and courageous in front of the whole of Winterfell. There’ll be no more idiots causing trouble for him. Brienne is clever, and careful with her friends. Hmm… Tormund for now. I’m afraid this is the first part of my author manipulation. Second part will be coming. But really, Jon Snow would see the three of them as amazingly useful, especially given the information he’s about to receive about himself, and how he might end up fighting in this war.
  11. pippychick
    Thank you, Bronx! lol… I was sure Clegane would decline, just as he did, and I was also sure Brienne wouldn’t be able to resist a little bit of “practice” of her own.. even while he was asleep. I think she’d have that kind of approach, to be honest. And, if she did give herself the go ahead, I think she’d have very few hang ups. As for Tormund, he is wicked, but he’s also got an amazing scene coming up when things start coming together. I’m going to be writing that next. See… I don’t think he can actually have her without getting into some kind of ‘being married’ situtaiton, so I’ve got a little plan. And so has he. Good job he’s a lunatic. It’s a do it or die thing. And the last of Brienne’s defences will finally come down… really excited for writing this!

    So the dog is doing okay. She’s had an injection, and another one today. She’s finally started eating again, and is on a strict diet of chicken and rice. She’s happy. That’s more cooking than I can be bothered with for myself at the moment. Although, a week on monday she’s going under to have her teeth cleaned and any extractions done – a whole other can of worms. Greyhounds and their teeth. I’m sure it’s their racing diet. They get fed crap. And cocaine As for the story, I might finally be getting to the end of shading in the Tyrion scene that I wrote the dialogue for some time ago. Having said that, I’m not altogether sure I’m happy with it, which is a bit of a bugger. I’ve more or less already got the next two or three smut chapters word perfect in my head, waiting to be written down. So, it might be a while. Right now I’ve kept it in Clegane’s pov. If I decide to switch to Tyrion to see if it works out any better, I’ll have to rewrite the whole bloody thing from the beginning, and it’s a four thousand word chapter. So… *sighs* If you’re reading this looking for updatds… sorry, folks. I just don’t know when.
  13. pippychick
    Haha! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, Anon Regarding this chapter, I was a little surprised by Tormund, but then on reflection, I think it’s right. He’s completely at ease with himself, he admits in canon he’s “good at killing people” and we see he’s actually quite violent when necessary. I think this fits very well for him, given the situation. But, yes, it’s quite bloody indeed.
  14. pippychick
    Things may slow down… one of the dogs is ill again :/ Currently waiting to take her to the vets. She wouldn’t eat this morning, and it sounds like something is having a great deal of fun with her insides, but since the dogs I keep are susceptible to bloat, I always err on the side of caution. But it’s this watching the clock hand go round now until the appointment time. *sighs*

    Chapter Seventeen Warning for bloody violence.
  16. pippychick

    Wow… I was just sitting here, writing, thinking up interesting ways for Clegane to kill some people who had pissed him off, and then Tormund…

    He happened to someone.

    *whistles*

    To be fair, he is kind of angry – well, furious –  but… bloodyhell… even Clegane is just standing there, in awe.

  17. pippychick
    Since I have a month, I might provisionally say yes, since it appears I am writing again, however it will depend very much on the current set of muses letting me go for long enough. I’ll try and think something up anyway. I’m guessing this could also be themed on Mischievous Night if I was setting it where I live. Bonfires… Fawkes… that one guy who gets burnt over and over again for all eternity, and for whom the fires of Hell are turning out to be a literal truth. Hmm… ETA: It seems we are quite a vengeful lot when we put our minds to it.

    Chapter Sixteen And... I’d really better go and start doing something else now. *sighs*
  19. pippychick

    One down, one to go. *pats Clegane* Got to admit, I really didn’t like doing that… :( Poor bugger. I’d offer the muse a cookie, but I think he’d be happy to rip me apart with his bare hands right now.. *hides behind wall* He’ll never see this wall, no matter how many fires he dares to look into. Thank the Gods. Or something.

    It’s a good job that characters never get to see their fanfic authors. Because soon all that will be standing between Tormund Giantsbane and Sandor Clegane, and what they want most in the entire world, which is a naked and sweating and luscious Brienne of Tarth… Well, that would be me. With a pen. They do say it’s mightier than the sword. I get the impression I’d be deader than dungarees. Fuck. And in case anyone is still following this, and was wondering… no, I haven’t stopped them yet, and it’s nearly at fever pitch, and I have a fairly good idea, but… I just don’t know if it’s going to work at this late stage. I really don’t. This could teach me a valuable lesson about, I don’t know, testosterone or something... Though, if they think they’ll get away from their fate like this… nope. They’ll just deny Tyrion a chance to appear in the story, which would be rubbish because I’ve already written his dialogue. And theirs. I do hope they aren’t going to be spoilsports about this. Hmm..

    Chapter Fifteen
  22. pippychick

    Right… I’m about to do something to the two male pov characters in my story that most men would call downright cruel. I’ve got them this far. To steal a phrase, only one thing could possibly win me greater glory: to stop them.

    Women do feel this too, and in the morning Brienne’ll be so pissed off, she’ll likely decapitate a wooden training dummy or something in sheer frustration. Let’s hope there’s one around, or Podrick really will be in trouble in that chapter…

    I am very, very evil. Especially with regards to the end of this, and my thoughts on the (potential!) eventual fate of these characters. Doesn’t bear thinking about. Unless you happen to be me. *looks well shifty… mutters about history… repeating… incest… Targaryen… insanity… fire… ice… *coughs*… craster… et cetera...*

    If you didn’t shiver just then, you’re probably quite, quite lucky…  :devil:

      Well… I think I am slowing down. Probably because the first half of this chapter is all about Brienne losing her virginity, even if I’m not going to let the characters get that far (they don’t know that), and it needs to be done with sensitivity, while still being quite hot. It’s enjoyable, but kind of hard work to strike the right balance, and God only knows if I’m managing to get the characterisation right as well on top, bearing in mind the small changes in developement I’ve put them through so far, especially her. It’s using all the fanfic writing brain I’ve got left. And I’ve go even less of that left than normal brain.

      In other news, I saw the biggest spider in my life at work this morning. It was one of those. You know… handbag sized. Like a small dog.

      Well, I have that first part done, and it’s like 2,500 words, so I’m thinking whether to post it as two chapters, because the second part is likely to be much longer, since there’s a lot more manipulation involved. Hmm… I think that’s what I’ll do, which means I’ll just have a go at checking over Clegane’s word choices and his swearing, then I’ll begin the series of read throughs. That’ll probably take it up to about 3000 words. I don’t know why, but editing never seems to lose words for me, only adds them.

    Chapter Fourteen I, erm, kind of had a day off. Work tomorrow.
  24. pippychick
    I love the novel, and I love this idea. Unfortunately, there’s no way I could write about the onset of the industrial revolution without the Lizzie in my head getting involved in actual, well, revolution (organising workers’ and such), which would likely lead to the following kind of conversation at Pemberley: DARCY: It will not do! You are my wife of twenty years, and we have been happy. I cannnot have you undermining me by fraternising with the workforce. LIZZIE: [laughing] Fraternising? DARCY: The old ways are dying, Elizabeth. Capital can no longer live on itself. It must work. [LIZZIE SCOFFS AT THE MENTION OF WORK] DARCY: When class distinctions blur, we will lose all of this, everything you enjoy, until we are left only with the sanctity of our marriage. Will you be happy then, with me, to be worth nothing? LIZZIE: [coughs] Well… DARCY: Well, what? LIZZIE: You’re away from home so often, and Jane did offer. And I thought it was very nice of Mr. Bingley, to be so selfless. DARCY: … LIZZIE: He’s been very good to me. DARCY: [growls] That’s it! I give up!
