Chase Away the Sorrow - Comments

Give me a second to gush and freak out.

*flails*

A WIIIIITCH. You have no idea how ridiculously happy that made me, when I read it in the first paragraph. I adore fantasy, and I’ve had a thing for witches lately. Okay okay okay. First off! How you set everything up was absolutely delicious. Yes, delicious. I have no other word for that amazingness. I love how it was at the end of the world, and how you hinted at how much the guy had to go through to get to it. Next, I absolutely adored the witch. She was sooooo perfect, just like I’d imagine a witch to be. She’s been through it all before and she knows that even if he’s been through a lot memories just shouldn’t be forgotten. THIS HAS A MORAL. Ugh, ugh, ugh. I just love it. And I love how she’s kind of…sad…in the end, when he gets greedy about it. It’s just like, -sigh-, you stupid human. You don’t get it.

This is now my favorite oneshot of yours. (Also, I realize smilies do not work, but I do not care. )

I think this works really well as a self-contained story, even though there's a lot left unsaid. But I do like coming up with theories/answers for myself about what he wanted to forget, what will eventually happen to him and the time/place this takes place in. It makes it more mysterious.

And I like your writing style. It always feels as though there aren't any excess words/sentences. Every word has its purpose.

And, probably should have mentioned earlier, but I like the plot. Fantasy is an awesome genre and the witch character did seem kind of all-knowing (about her own craft at least) and I like that she was kinda condescending to him. xD
