I felt compelled to send some excerpts from a piece of fanfic that I came across. I suppose my motivation was primarily to court interest in you for the otalia genre. I miss your writing being the obsessive fan that I am
Any how, this excerpt is from a Brit at an otalia fanfic website, this is a first attempt at fanfic. I enjoyed it very much and wanted to share it with one, I suspect your are a fan of lesbian literature from way back.
Take a look. Each paragraph was taken from a one-shot on otalia entitled:
One Room? (Natalia POV) by hmmfitz.
It can be found at http://www.incandescentfire.com/ or on the big purple dreams website at http://bigpurpledreams.podbean.com/ in the fanfic section of big purple dreams.
Shed never felt this kind of connection, she could almost feel electricity roaming over her skin. How could any anyones eyes do what Olivias appeared to do? Like a shooting star she had blazed across Natalias life and it would never be the same. Kneeling before the enchanting beauty of the woman she loved, Natalia felt so small and uncertain. It wasnt a secret any more; she couldnt hide how she felt or what she wanted.
As Olivias unrelenting and impassioned kiss continued, Natalia scrambled to translate her meaning or understand the paradox that was assaulting her. Olivias hands had long since stilled, coming to rest on Natalias back, as if afraid to move anywhere else. No! she cant be Oh my No! then it hit her. She doesnt know. She doesnt know. what to do next! Natalia immediately knew that there was no way she could ever let Olivia know what she had just realised.
Her decision was instant. For once in her life Olivia would know that someone was there for her, just for her, someone who just wanted to love her, that the world wouldnt crumble away if she gave up control, but most importantly that Natalia wouldnt run away if Olivia didnt have all the answers, that they could travel into the unknown together and Natalia would ensure that they survived.
She had never wanted to give herself, show herself to anyone - like this. She had never dreamed that she would get to see Olivia like this, watch her, feel her, and be invited to know her, like this.
just an idea
I appreciate your writing. Your characterizations are multidimensional. Your dialogues, both inner and external are rich and nuanced. Insight is usually full of depth and hefty thoughts. For me personally, the humor combined with good story telling is the BEST. Thank you for what you have shared.
