Do not trust me. That's a bad idea.
School, ugh. How much more freedom holiday do you have left?

I hate to break it to you, but you might have a busy week and two days... I hope you find time to enjoy the rest of the holidays though. Holiday homework is cruel.

this is not at all where I thought this was going but I am loving it Fernstripe's grief over her own death is so raw - I can feel her frustration. you do a fantastic job of showing exactly how she's feeling even when she doesn't come right out and say it. you really bring the story to life
it's really interesting to see Fernstripe's personal beliefs/bias and how it's affecting her view of the situation. even more so since she actually acknowledges her bias - it's not only realistic but gives her more dimension

Good to hear! Liking packing, though? You must be the first person I've talked to who has that opinion.
Also, I like the new chapter! I can really sympathise with Fernstripe's desire not to see her loved ones' future; that would be my worst nightmare. Also, I wonder how she's going to get out of this scrape...

Checklists, why does this not surprise me? And yes, that definitely helps! I wish I felt as excited about going back...
I can see why she chose it, but hers is not an afterlife I'd envy.

Okay, so I just read the first chapter and it's so freaking good, Tues! I just love the whole idea of an oath keeper and how they have to do certain things to make sure oaths aren't broken so fate can run its course. I just love it so much, and I never would have thought of anything like it, honestly.
I need your consistent writing dedication, haha. I'm struggling with my fic atm. I have a rough draft of the next chapter and am trying to muster the energy to edit it.

thank you so much!! i've been stewing this over for a long time (the title came first, and everything else fell into place later because it was too cool a title to pass up), so i'm really happy to see it's getting good reception. it's also a romance, which is not my forte, so we'll see how this goes moving forward. i hope i can continue to deliver! cx
lol. i completely understand. i don't have finished chapters for anything else going forward. well, i have chapter four of this finished, but chapter five is a wip, chapter four of ata is a wip (and has been for months), chapter four of wotw is a wip, and other scattered fics in other fandoms need finishing but...i'm not finished. i think the trick is to just sit down and tell yourself that it only gets done if you do it. plus, you can fix a bad page, but you can't fix an empty page without filling it first. also, every project is just a few sentences at a time, all strung together. take it in chunks!

"Not thrilled" covers it. I'm not dreading it by any means, but the main thing I've heard about the last year of school is that it's going to be so. much. work. Add uni applications on top of that, and... yeah I'm glad you're happy about going back though

Thank you! We don't have application essays as such, but there is this thing called a personal statement which I may be behind on already. I'll bear that in mind...

Ok so I noticed you don't really have a description of Fern yet so I pictured her like this. (tried to stick to her warrior name) but added an extra un-earthly glow to her eyes to signify her status. I LOVED MAKING THIS I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

Thank you! And I think most of my queries relate to the UK system, unless there's any essential Classics related books you can recommend?
Good to hear! Yes, you don't want to pack clothes and stuff too early and then end up rummaging in suitcases for days... And good luck with that early start!

Aeneid's kind of sorted as we're studying some of book 10 for A level. (It does grow on you. Poor old Aeneas...) I'll check out that grammar. Thanks!
Yay! I hope you had a good journey?

A Thunderpath! I was all psyched up for Fern to have been killed by some epic monster of legend... But more seriously, this Clan is nasty. I'm beginning to seriously worry about the nature of the oath that needs to be fulfilled.
Rain is scientifically proven to hate humanity. I'm glad you had a good journey, though!
