Gorgeous intro; I’d love to read the rest of this piece =)

hmm…very intriguing. This is good background information, and could be a wonderful base for an adventure story. Nicely done.

Great atmosphere.

Thanks. We had to rewrite a fairy/folk take in the style of Angela Carter, and this was the intro to my Rumpelstiltskin.

I also thought it would be a good idea to stick it on ficlets, and see if anyone else decides to go somewhere with it.

Beautiful.
