I'm going to write some more in this 'verse, I think.
Nnng pleasedo. *¬*
I'm kind of a rabid Naomi Novik fan--I was raised on Anne McCaffrey, and really, Novik is doing for the genre now what McCaffrey did back in the day, taking dragons and doing something cool and different and splashy and doing it so well that you can't help but stare--and I'm really not familiar with GW at all, pretty much all I know of it comes from your offhand mentions in posts and that one Stargate crossover, but but but aaah spacedragons. Just. Just. Novik's deliciously rich style of setting and detail and space dragons. It's what Anne McCaffrey hinted at doing but never took to its full potential and and and. You're awesome enough of a fanfic writer to carry this cross-concept out so beautifully.
(...and and and the suggestions of backstory! The wistfulness, and the sense of wonder, and the cutting hints of tragedy, and the camaraderie, and Nataku/Long Shen Kai's icy dignity in mourning that's such a Celestial thing to do à la Lien, and. Um. In Tarzan terms: you good write, me want read. XD;; )
