I hope your recipient did enjoy "Growing Up"; all I can say is that I adored it. I'm very wary of fic about my childhood favorites, and you won me over completely; "Growing Up" seemed both respectful of Lewis and his work and a much-needed complement to/critique of some of the loose ends (and some of the ideas about gender and sexuality and what they mean for faith and redemption). That all sounds cold, and it's a very warm story, and gets sisterhood just exactly right.

I'm so glad you wrote it.

Oh, thank you! I feel the same way about childhood favourites, and that's partly why I found writing this so incredibly difficult. I've never attempted Narnia fic before, and I had no idea it would be so hard, or that my feelings about the books would turn out to be so complicated. I realised I wouldn't be able to write the fic without addressing some of those issues, so I went ahead and gave it a go. I'm really pleased if you feel I've got it right. :)
