Hamiathes Gift Exchange author reveal
Author reveal was Saturday. Here's my story, which seems to have been well-received:
Not Much Would Be Lost (3416 words) by Transposable_Element
Chapters: 5/5
Fandom: The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Ornon (Queen's Thief), Laela (Queen's Thief), Nahuseresh (Queen's Thief), Attolia (Queen's Thief), Costis (Queen's Thief), Eugenides (Queen's Thief)
Additional Tags: Intrigue, Slavery, Diplomacy, Spies & Secret Agents, Ornon is ornery, Boxing & Fisticuffs, No sheep were harmed in the making of this fic
Summary: "If you fail, there is very little protection we can give you," said Attolia.
I was worried for a while that I might have to default, because even though I settled on the basic idea and wrote an outline early on, most of the writing happened very much at the last moment. I got the bones of the story up by the deadline, and then I used the next week to tinker with it, expanding it by about 1,200 words. I'm reasonably happy with it, although as usual I had trouble with the ending.
There are a lot of good stories and fan art in the exchange. Check 'em out!
