Wow, that was . . . interesting. I enjoyed your style of storytelling, although I'm not entirely sure which story you were telling. It seemed to be held together more by geography than be theme or character!
This was a pleasant read: I liked it.

Happy writing,

Really beautiful, and VERY much like Terry himself might have written it. Mal is certainly a very interesting person, and your character development is absolutely believable. To say nothing of Susan, of course.

Oh, splendid! I adore it when people have fun with this story, and both Susan and Maledict fit in so very well.

So much love. Writing is, as ever with you, gorgeous and disturbing. It's oddly appropriate, too, in ways I wouldn't have thought of - Maladicta the replacement-anthropomorphized wolf, and Susan the woodcutter still more so. Although I don't think scythes are very good for down-chops. Too much air resistance, with those curves. :D
