Just read the first chapter of a (so far one-sided) epistolary fic that unlocked the memories of reading Ella Enchanted and getting to that point where the emotions are so strong and every choice is a heartbreaking one.
#Yes I did just mention Ella Enchanted (the movie) like yesterday. No I did not remember the letters.#Things I usually think of when remembering Ella Enchanted: a) the freckles b) the banisters c) the elves with their soups#d) the best friend e) the giants being three times as tall as humans but just as thin f) the scene where they find the glass slippers#g) bad embroidery h) the mother dying#(none of that list was in order)#(I'm now remembering her mimicry skills)#i) the scene where she's sobbing and declares she won't marry him.#Things I don't remember apparently: them moving from friendship to love over a series of LETTERS.#That book is so good I should reread it.#liveblogging stories#personal#Okay I was going to make (a shorter version of) this post while I was reading the chapter but I exited out once I came to trying to spell#epistolary (I think I got it right but I doubted myself because autocorrect didn't have it) and I was trying to eat supper and read the fic#and pay attention to my parents who were watching Interview with a Vampire and pet my cat so I didn't make the post and deleted the draft.#And then while I was writing a comment on the fic itself I got the notification that the author followed me here and I got cold feet about#making this post.#But like. I deserve to keep my public record of things I like even if it's embarrassing to be potentially perceived. So. here's the post.#The fic is linked a few reblogs back under the art of the orc writing a letter.#The artist/author also makes books and can design awesome playing cards so truly an amazingly talented person.
