Just read Dragonlord.
Aug. 16th, 2012 12:18 amJust read Dragonlord (SGA/Pern fusion, John/Rodney, R-NC-17 rating).
Well. Actually, listening to the soundtrack for Dragonlord lured me into reading the fic. Enough time has passed for me to see it as a reader.
Mostly.
It takes years for a writer to have enough distance to see their own work.
At first I still had trouble getting into it, seeing so many things that I wanted to edit. I hate exposition and there's more of it than I usually do (though exposition is true to the McCaffrey spirit!). One scene I wanted to cut completely (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
enname said I should, I didn't listen, and now, eh, I should've).
( Warning: spoilers and an author both enjoying and critiquing her own fic. Also, betas are always right. )
The ending truly got me. I wanted so much more. More Pern, more dragons, more Rodney, more feral, more with J'ohn and his father -- all of it.
*nods* It's a good story. And my fingers twitch to make certain changes.
