assome story

Love your writing. I simply love it, I think you could become a professional writer any day. I enjoyed the idea for this, you make your crossovers so believable. There were a lot of great sentences and images here, I don't even think I can choose a favorite.

yOU DID SPLENDIDLY! I wonder just how many times I have read both books. I LOVE and adore this piece. You know I wonder how many peoples views of A Little Princess are distorted by the movies because if they have watched the movies they will see Sara as a much younger girl with golden curls ala Shirley Temple or Liesel Matthews. But this was amazing. Thank you for making this crossover. You made me smile. A big fat cheesy smile! In case you are unsure, I LOVED IT!

Cute story, sorry to say, I am not acquainted with "A Little Princess", so I do not know who Sara Crewe is. But it is nice to see some of the places and people that Rhett has met.

My favourite line was this one...

But then all French girls grew into Frenchwomen - absolutely delightful. And all English girls, most unfortunately, grew into Englishwomen - that stolid, square-jawed, red-faced country of fox-hunting, match-making mammas who were simply not to be borne

or perhaps the one about milksop men ;)

I didn't know the other fandom - I'm shamefully ignorant about other 'lesser' books - but it didn't detract from the story. Your writing is so rich, beautiful and evocative ( insert any other words of praise you want since they all apply) and I enjoyed this very much.
Thanks for playing and well done for getting it in on time. I hope your exams went well. :)

Great story:-) I have to say, it is totally unlike anything that I had in mind when I came up with the line, lol. Loved your characterizations and descriptions. Thanks for a different twist on the workings of Rhett's mind.

The physical similarity between Sarah and Scarlett never crossed my mind until I read your fic, which I couldn't resist because it seemed like such an unusual crossover. But you really made it work! Nice job.

Great Job! I've always thought the same thing about Sarah and Scarlett. I loved the part when Rhett kissed Sarah's hand the way he did. I really liked the prompt you had, and I think you used it extremely well.

I love the way you write! I think my favorite line was this: *He looked down into her long-lashed, dreamer's eyes and felt the sensual heaviness of her gown swishing teasingly against his ankles.* You use the that slight touch to convey so much information. In an age when touch had to be circumspect, it really brought home the sense of strict Victorian morals juxtaposed with universal urges, as did Rhett scandalously kissing her wrist.

Second favorite line: *A woman a man could not tease held little fascination for him. He smiled to himself, remembering Scarlett - her childish tempers, provincial airs, the coquettry which almost - but not quite - descended into rank slatternliness - and her ironclad self-conceit. One of the greatest pleasures of his life had been poking holes through her vanity.* That really encapsulates Rhett's relationship with Scarlett during the war, what made it charming and frustrating in turn. Again, juxtaposing that scene at the Christmas ball with Scarlett living in poverty in Georgia reminded me a bit of Sarah Crewe living in the garrett when the world thought her to be poor.

The scene with Rhett and Bonnie at the party years later was also very nice. Forgive me for saying this, but Bonnie was only supposed to be two years old at the time. You write her speaking as an older child would, but that is a small matter. It was a beautiful comparison between Scarlett and Sarah. Sarah had grown more beautiful and apparently had a more compassionate heart. The exchange between Sarah and Bonnie was lovely, one princess to another.

You made wonderful use of your prompt. That line certainly fit Rhett like a glove! Nice!

It's been a long time (maybe 20 years) since I read Atlas Shrugged. Rand's women are more intellectual than Scarlett (Dagny, Dominique), but do have that cutthroat instinct for business.

So many wonderful details in your story. The best was Rhett blowing the kiss in the wind. And Bonnie was adorable of course (how could she not be). Surprising how you incorporated your prompt into the story. Clever.

'He was a man - the only man - in a soup of milksop dandies.' and the description of Rhett Butler through Ms Crewe's eyes was wonderful (an very correct ;-)).

It was marvellous. Thanks for joining!!
