So I was right, it WAS Lily. And her story is just so sad, but still, the update made my day! And one more thing, how much of Legendbreakers is based on That Which Does Not Kill Us? Or is that based on the Legendbreakers universe? As always, keep writing!
Anne B. Walsh replied:
It... inspired Legendbreakers, I guess you could say. They're not strictly based on one another, but the concept blossomed out of that story. Good catch there!

I was always sorry for Susan. She was trapped in what she thought would be the best part of a life, and she went there without realizing it is actually one of the most miserable, and the shortest. It never seemed right to me that she should be irredeemable. I hope John can find a way to help her be happy at last.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Yep, but that's the wonderful thing about life. As long as we have it, none of our choices are irreparable. Suzie has accepted that she made the wrong choice back when, and now just has to convince herself that she can make the right one the next time. Once she has, she'll be ready to pass through the door...

Really liking this so far! I love the characters of Eve and Suzie - though I was a bit surprised when I learnt who Suzie was! My favourite character from that 'ridge', haha. I've suspected Eve's true identity for a while, glad to see I was right, and I like the way you explained it.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Yes, I always thought both Suzie and Eve deserved better than they got in their ridges.

Anne B. Walsh replied:
Apparently it means your post must be more than ten characters. Well done!

I'd actually forgotten about _The Lion etc._ I'd like to see how that comes out. It was an interesting situation.
I'd like to see all of the above, of course - write what you want to!
You've identified Eve and Suzie well enough for me, certainly.
As for cats, JMS once mentioned that his Maine Coon, Buddy, discovered how to use the stair railing and things to get up to human eyelevel, then look around the corner to startle any humans within range.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Am I very stupid if I don't know who JMS is? But yes, that does sound familiar on the cat's part.

Oh, so that's who Suzie is... Clever... And I am intrigued by this idea of Moony's. I wonder what he's come up with. :D
As for original fic, my vote is for something from Trycanta.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Trycanta is definitely on the list. Moony's idea... wait and see!

So Eve is a version of Lily but who is Susie?
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Someone with your email address has to ask that? (No, it doesn't display on the website but I see it in the alert I get in my email...)
