If only I had enough time to work on longer pieces for all the work clamoring for them.<br /><br />@John, thanks for pointing that out; it's always helpful to know which details spark for people.<br /><br />@Wendy, glad you liked the images; I like Erin & Síofra; so it'd be nice to dig into them more thoroughly.<br /><br />@Stephen, that fits nicely with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_of_love_%28amusement_ride%29" rel="nofollow">tunnel of love</a> rides that either were romantic or scary to provide lovers a socially acceptable excuse for touching in the early 20th century.AidanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876041003278004627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879556472347736809.post-79458863189895640722010-12-05T12:15:52.750-08:002010-12-05T12:15:52.750-08:00"Oh no," indeed. I liked the little scat..."Oh no," indeed. I liked the little scattering of fairyland details that built up some of the background reality of the story. I was intrigued how the fairyland tunnel of love worked - perhaps, once you are ready to take a trip, crisis cuts through any romantic circling to a more committed 'yes / no'. I like it.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111660663883108862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879556472347736809.post-90835526921864212502010-12-05T11:59:24.683-08:002010-12-05T11:59:24.683-08:00Wonderful imagery!

I wasn't going for a twist on the Dragon being live so wanted to make sure it came across and hope it pulled out a little of Erin's character at the same time.AidanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876041003278004627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879556472347736809.post-51406968408086454022010-12-03T12:28:09.921-08:002010-12-03T12:28:09.921-08:00Funny.
