DW/Narnia: From a World More Full of Weeping, by Azar.

[thady]

FANDOM: Doctor Who/The Chronicles of Narnia
FIC LINK: From a World More Full of Weeping.
AUTHOR LINK: Azar
RATING/WARNING(S): PG
WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot | ~ 3,080 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Susan Pevensie, 10th Doctor, OCs

FIC SUMMARY: Two people meet who have nothing in common… except a world of loss.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is a great crossover, which is so believable. I love Susan here, her voice, her grief and how she handles it (or not), and how she grows.
There is hope here, even with the sadness.

This is another great choice; thanks. (I'd love to see more Narnia here.)

[thady]

You're welcome!

And I don't read much Narnia, I'm just too picky with what I like. But I really loved this story.

[heliopausa]

Thanks for this rec - I enjoyed it very much.
(and I should rec a few Narnia stories! Is there a quick way to find out which stories have been mentioned in gensplosion before?)

[espresso_addict]

Ooh, please do! Have you tried the tags?

[heliopausa]

Tags! I completely over looked that avenue! Well, I've checked them quickly, and I will add some more Narnia to the gen mix! :)

[thady]

You're welcome!
And thank you for letting me know! I appreciate it.

(And I would love it, if you recced a few Narnia stories!)

[heliopausa]

I will! :) (Right now I'm dithering over but maybe that's too frivolous and that might be a bit long and not Narnia enough?. But I'll definitely post by next weekend. :)

[thady]

I don't think it matters whether a story is too frivolous or a bit long, it matters whether it is a good story. And as long as that is true, I wouldn't hesitate to rec it.

Just my two pennies. :)

[heliopausa]

Well, it's done. But I fumbled with warnings and tags and the author's link. :(

[thady]

I saw the rec before the comment. I think it's a good rec, it certainly got me reading.

Do you want me to tell you a few things I've noticed? WIth the html, and such? I don't mind if you don't mind :)

[heliopausa]

Yes, please. :)
I could try to make a Narnia rec every couple of weeks - that way I'd get plenty of practice in the coding!

[thady]

Good :) I didn't want to offer unsolicited advice.
I hope I don't get too nitpicky...

-) It is common to indicate crossover with a slash (fandom 1/fandom 2) but not necessary.


-) rating: I know it used to be common to rate gen-stories with "gen", but it is more usual now to use movie ratings. I usually use to ratings given by the author (in this case it would be PG-13, which would be equivalent to T (Teen).

-) tags (in general): You can look at the tags page to decide which tags you want to add. For this story I would add for example: crossover, hijinks ensue, humor, wacky adventures.

-) fandom tags: for this community the fandom tags start with - fandom:
I would also list both fandom seperately.
In this case it would be: "- fandom: the chronicles of narnia", "- fandom: rpf" (without the quotation marks).

I hope that help and I explained everything plainly.

Edit: They must have changed something how you link to users. I just don't have the time right now to go over it. I'll add to this comment later on. Sorry.

Edit the 2nd: Here is the dreamwidth FAQ site to linking to other users. I do not know whether I can explain it better.


Also: I would love to read more Narnia stories, so I'm all for more recs! :)

[heliopausa]

Thank you! I've started the editing. :)
One thing that bothered me was the "rough language" note I put in, which I've left for the time being - is there a better way to put this? or is it covered by PG-13, would you say?
I'll stay tuned for the update about linking to non-DW authors.

[thady]

I had edited the last comment about linking to other users, but I see you alrady put it to right.

I've only ever seen it as language (or strong language). I've also seen the rating combined with the reason for it, e.g. PG-13 for language. PG-13 not only covers cursing, but also violence, sexual content, drug usage. Citing one reason for the rating implies the lack of these other things however.
I've often seen PG-13 used without a qualifier. It would be alright too.

I've seen however, that your tags got a bit messed up. It might have happened becuase you used a semi-colon instead of a comma. Tags are always seperated with a comma.

In this case, it would be:

- fandom: the chronicles of narnia, - fandom: rpf, crossover, hijinks ensue, ...

I'm sorry, I should have noticed the last time already, and told you then. I've thought you meant to indicate a crossover.

I hope this helped a bit. :)

[heliopausa]

Thanks for the tip re: tags and commas. Bit by bit I'll learn the system! :)

[thady]

It took me a while too. I'm happy to help. :)

[ozqueen]

Loved this! ♥

[thady]

You're welcome! :)
Thank you for letting me know!

[azarsuerte]

Hi! Author here. Thanks so much for the rec! It never ceases to amaze me how much love this little story gets. :-)

[thady]

You're welcome! And the length of a story doesn't say anything about its quality. :)
