11,000th post crit: Into The Wyrmwoods prologue, 1160 words

All life (it makes sense later in the story), but I'll make it clearer. Thanks.

TBH I really liked the line as is. To me, it was one of the mysteries hinted at which made me want to read more to unravel. Seems like it doesn't work for everyone but I liked it.

Sadly no one, because of my insistence on keeping a casting veto for "static caravan #4".

This just made my morning! If I ever decide to a. get into the cinema industry, b. actually have some success, and c. you've lost your mind sufficiently to consider turning this over to me, I'll certainly allow you to keep your casting veto for static caravan #4, and will even allow it to be expanded to static caravan #3!

Caravan 4, caravan 4! It's always caravan 4! Boo! What about poor old caravan 1? Sure, she's got a lot of rust and her windows could stand to be fixed, but there's still a lot of mileage left in her. You kids. Sad.

Numerologically, caravan 4 equals 3+1+17+1+22+1+14+4, which equals 63, which equals 9, which itself is three threes, making it a highly auspicious and powerful caravan! Only a fool would give up casting rights on that.

Ah, that was actually something of an in-joke, since HB knows full well I have a character -- a goddess, no less -- who is called the Lady with a capital "L". (And who refers to a girl of whom she is fond with a pet name of a small fluffy-ish creature -- HB will steal anything that isn't locked down! And don't come the innocent with me, HB. Why didn't she call her tadpole, eh?! )

Ach, I have a Lady too. She’s mine, so there y’all go
I liked this a lot but the opening paragraph feels a little blocky, Hare. Just a little more linkage between the sentences would have worked for me. Well done on on the 11,000th, young’un

I would agree with Droflet: "Beautifully written, as always ..." Except I'm new here and don't know about the "as always." It is beautiful and spooky.
