Barrdwing ... My God!! That was SENSATIONAL!!!! Absolutely sensational!! I love to see things through Tiny's eyes. He is such an underrated character -- but there is character there and HELL you pulled it off wonderfully. Not scarey? Buddy, I am a Stephen King girl through and through and this is EXACTLY something I'd expect from one of his short stories. Gosh, I felt like I was in Maine with Mr. King and reading something from his delightful mind!!! That said -- Gawwd this is stunning and something I will not only read again and again, but will definitely recommend to EVERYONE! I was hooked from the first paragraph ... Thank you!! It makes me want to try a spooky one myself ... But I can't write good ghost stories ... Thank you again ... SJ

Loved it Barrdwing! You have such a way with words! You had Tiny down perfectly! I certainly hope you'll be writing more!

I agree. Barrdwing is a wonderful writer, and she needs to post a few more of her fics! I know she has some older ones that she could share with us...

I loved this Fic from Tiny's POV Bardwing. I love that I can see and feel exactly what Tiny does. Please do keep writing more stories for us.

ITA w/SJ - very Stephen King! I made the mistake of not heeding the warnings and reading this fic late at night, alone, and right before bed - I had goose bumps it was so creepy! I had to read something sweet and romantic before I could settle down. A great, great story - and I particularly liked the POV and the voice you created for Tiny. The language style and patterns were valuable extension of his characterization. It wasn't a story about Tiny, it was Tiny's story - nicely done. Looking forward to more!

Link please?

Ohhhh, you beat me to it TJ.

Thanks ya'll!

Excellent story Barrdwing! It's nice to see the Owl in the spotlight for a change. And your descriptions are great.

Oh wow . . . You guys are very kind! I'm very glad that you enjoyed this one: I had a lot of fun writing it, although truth be told I gave myself the creepycrawls while working on the middle section. (Seriously!) I'd figured I was just a wuss, but hearing that SJ and gogirl also found it suitably spooky makes me feel better. TJ is right, there's a backlog of stories that I need to post, plan to post, and will work on posting. I have a couple more ghost stories that are on that list, although one of them still needs overhauling, the pesky thing. This is the only story so far from Tiny's POV, but there may be more someday: he's a fun voice to write.

Gooooo Barrdwing! Post, post, post! I should point out that Barrwing has two other fics on the Fanfic Archives right now. And one is a Condor fic.

Barrdwing, I finally read your fic today. Awesome, awesome, awesome!! I love the thriller/"ghostly" aspect and how wonderfully you wrote it from Tiny's perspective. Now that TJ has pointed out that you've posted 2 other fics to Archives, I'm off to read (or at least bookmark) those! Can't wait to read more of your stories, Barrdwing. You definitely write in a style/category that I thoroughly enjoy!

Thank you, Hinotori!

Do you need a shelf on the fic library then Barrdwing?

I guess maybe I do--thanks! Although I'm not very good at posting things on-line . . . still kind of a noob. So it may take me a while to figure things out here (and some bugging of the veteran members!).

Don't worry, Barrdwing. I'm sure we can arrange something to help you out.

Yes I am sure we can arrange time for TJ to help you. Anything to get more of your stories posted.

Many thanks, TJ! I will be

Your shelf is up Barrdwing, if you need help just let is know

Excellent, no excuse for new fics now (please). I'm actually having to do work, at work so I need distractions.

Sweet! Thanks, Cep. Let's see how long it takes me to figure things out, now.

I finally got another story posted over at Gatchfanfic. The link is Emmeline Still working on learning how to post on my shelf!

I can completely recommend Barrdwing's new fic. It's so beautiful.

As usual Barrdwing writes a great, if slightly eerie story, full of reflection and showing the growing connection between a new formed team. Good work Barrdwing!

I actually didn't find this fic eerie at all. It touching and sad, but not spooky. JMHO... But yes, it's well worth a read!

Thanks all! I'm glad that you've enjoyed reading it. I definitely wasn't aiming for edge-of-the-seat thriller material here (I don't think I could even write that genre) but I figured the story warranted a mild caution. It's the closest this Zark has come so far to writing about tragedy, and I will confess that I had some creepy over-the-shoulder moments while writing it (I am such a wuss). So anyway, still feeling my way through story classification and all that good stuff. (Practice, practice!) The most important thing is that it be a story people enjoy reading. So, I'm glad to hear that folks liked it.

I had a dream about a little ghost girl last night! I was trying to help her! I woke up a little creeped out... LOL Thanks a lot, Barrdwing!

Beautiful, Barrdwing ... just beautiful ... and so touching! Thanks for a wonderful read!

I loved reading Emmeline, I enjoyed not only how it was written but the direction it took. Looking forward to reading some more!

Springie--oops! Sorry to give you an uneasy night. Although dreams sometimes kick-start a new fic for me: I'm getting ready to post another Princess story, one that played out its first third in a rather vivid post-late-night-pizza dream. That will be Lemonade, as soon as I finish formatting it for posting. Many thanks to everyone for their feedback! It's greatly appreciated.

I am looking forward to another new story from you Barrdwing.

Don't worry...the dream wasn't too bad...but I knew exactly where it came from! LOL Oh good...another Barrdwing fic! I'm so glad to see you writing again!
