cornerflag fic: Quedarse (Raul/Mori)
Mar. 30th, 2011 08:55 pm( notes on Diana Wynne Jones and the writing of this story )
This isn't meant to say that the story I ended up writing is anything like a story DWJ would have written. In fact, it's not at all: the fic is a romance in both senses of the word, and it certainly doesn't aspire to a quarter of the complexity that was DWJ's hallmark, in novels and short stories alike. It's only meant to say that if only for this one single short story, I owe her as much as a writer as I do as a reader, and I know it. The influence may not be particularly obvious from the outside, but I'll always know it's there, and I'm very grateful for it.
Proper post on some underrated DWJ favorites coming later. In the meantime, here's the story.
Quedarse
Raúl González/Fernando Morientes, implied Fernando Morientes/David Villa.
