My Summergen gift!

[caranfindel]

Once again, my Summergen gifter went in a direction that I never even considered when I came up with the prompt. Is that what normally happens? This is only my second year to participate, so I don't know. What I do know is that it makes it so much fun! I know writers often apologize for not producing what the writer expected (and I may have even done that last year? who knows) but honestly, I really enjoy getting a story I didn't expect. I'm not going to tell you what I like about it, because that would be spoilery, but I am going to ask that you go read it yourself and show my mystery writer some love!

I treasure your gift for me from last year--have read "Though I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death" so many times! It was just what I wanted (and in keeping with the spirit of the prompts, I thought) but you also managed to surprise me in wonderful ways.

This year I had a different experience--kind of like the one you described above. Totally and utterly not what I thought my (broody and kind of portentious, for the most part) prompts would produce, especially in terms of tone. I have a lot of thoughts about prompts/writers/audiences and it is really interesting to me to see what happens in those spaces!

I haven't had time to read much this year, but Doppelgänger is definitely one I intend to finish. Such a cool concept.
