Public. Read it here.

Just a note: since these slipped in after I had already retired for the night, I'll be counting these in week's voting announcement. I'll change any lock dates as needed, though at a cursory glance it seems you didn't set an end date for the votes.

See my comments on the dossier for my general thoughts.

The story is very good, and it gets my "yea."

I really liked this as a rounding-out of the three introductory stories for Lourima. I think, as said in the main thread, that the three work as a complete set, to show what Lourima is as a person. This story not ending on the same black note that the other two ended on really helps it as well, I think; it gives a bit of quiet relief and keeps the whole thing from being an emotional black hole.

So, having read all three now (though by the time I post all these it will look like I did nearly at once), I can say that, yeah, I would like them in the Archives. I would like to have them all as "chapters" to a single story, as was suggested elsewhere, if you'd be okay with that.

I'll say again that I'm pro-chapters. If you have any good ideas for a supertitle, I'm all ears.

Childhood? Innocence? Unless you would have used something like that for a later story for her?

After much thought (okay, a sudden brainwave sparked by those suggestions), the trio of stories should be called "Life Lessons" as its supertitle, consisting of "Charity", "Kindness", and "Kinship"

I would have gone "Virtues" over "Life Lessons" for that extra bit of irony, but this story is really good, whatever you may call the rose garden. Yea from me.

Huh. That is better, I think.
