Chapter 11 – WAR!
Part 13
Griselda said, “Poor Benny, he should have asked Yara how she felt about him first before doing what he did. It must be so embarrassing for him.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Well, I am heading off to bed now,” Griselda said as she yawned. As she was getting up, she said to her son, “Oh! I did as you asked earlier. Trust me, you will love it.”
Bog said, “Thank you, mother.”
“You’re Welcome, Son. Have a good night.”
“You have a good night as well.”
She waved for him to come to her level and she gave him a kiss on the cheek and then she wanted Marianne to do the same and she did. She gave Marianne a kiss on the cheek too.
“You gave us quite the scare today, but I am more than thrilled that you are still with us. Good night, sweet Marianne.”
“Goodnight Griselda,” she replied.
Griselda said goodnight to Dawn and King Dagda and then headed off towards the main doors.
King Dagda said, “Well, I am going to call it a night myself. I will give it some time before I check in on Yara, though. Everyone have a good night.”
Everyone wished the king a good night, and his daughters gave him a nice long hug. As he started to leave he turned around and said to Marianne, “That was a good song up until the end there, and it was nice to hear you do some singing, tonight, my darling. That must have taken a while to practice that.”
“Actually I pretty much winged it. The dance was an old hip hop dance from school. I knew Benny knew it too as he took the same class.”
“Even more impressive. Very nice harmony you two have as well,” he said.
“Thanks Dad.”
He turned to Bog and took his hand and shook it as he said, “I am sorry for being upset with you earlier, I am just happy that you did find my daughter and in time that Dawn could help her.”
Bog said, “And I am sorry for being headstrong and not listening to you. Had I paid more attention to your instructions, Marianne wouldn’t have gone through what she did. I was stupid for going back to the balcony to check how things were going when I should have been watching your daughters.”
“Bog, you were checking on my father. You were being true to an valiant toward my family, you were not being stupid.”
King Dagda said to Bog, “Well, what is done is done and it is water under the bridge now, thankfully, I didn’t lose either of my daughters today. It is just a sad shame that you lost your wings, though.”
Bog smiled as he answered the king, but looked to Dawn and said, “Well, upsetting as it was, your daughter is up to something in that regard. So I am hopeful that what she plans will work and I will fly again.”
The king nodded and bid everyone goodnight once more. He then walked towards the door a few servants followed him out the door. Bog looked around the ballroom and the last of the servants finished clearing the tables. He heard Morgana talking to Celeste that they were going to wait until morning to set up for breakfast since it was late. The two then disappeared in to the kitchen. Soon it was just the three of them in the ballroom. Dawn sat down in her father’s seat to be closer to her sister. She was ready to say something when there came some loud laughing and giggling in the direction of the balcony. A few moments later Spydera and Benny entered the ballroom and they walked towards the main ballroom entrance as they laughed. They didn’t notice that Marianne, Dawn and Bog were still sitting at the table in the back. They both looked very happy. They stopped for a moment and Spydera put her arms up in front of her.
“And so you do that move like this,” Spydera said as she moved her hips side to side and rocked her shoulders to and fro while pushing her hands out in front of her. Her rear legs swayed back and forth behind her.
Bog saw Marianne’s eyes widen in shock, but he was in shock himself at how the spider queen could move.
Benny said, “Yeah, you’re getting it! We will work on that tomorrow.”
Bog looked to Marianne and he whispered, “Is he teaching her to dance?”
“Looks that way. She actually looked good doing that.”
The two continued to walk to the main doors when Bog heard Spydera ask Benny, “So do you think you can talk your king into letting you work directly with me on the project?”
“Sure, I believe so. I really look forward to personally working with you,” he said.
Queen Spydera’s face lit up as she had a huge smile on her face.
Benny put his arm out and said, “Would you like me to escort you to your room, my dear queen?”
“Gladly, Sir Benny,” she said as she practically wrapped her fingers totally around his upper arm.
The two then disappeared into the hall. They seemed oblivious to the fact that Marianne, Dawn and Bog were still sitting at the table behind them.
Marianne said, “Did you see that? Am I missing something here?”
Bog said, “I was about to say the same thing.”
Marianne said, “He looked so heartbroken over Yara, just a half hour ago. Now, he seemed all happy and she...she was glowing all over and doing funky dance moves? If I didn’t know better I would say she likes him.”
Dawn giggled and said, “Uh oh. I think Benny’s got it for Queen Spydera. He was looking at her the same way he looked at Yara.”
Bog said, “I hope Benny knows what he is getting himself into with her. Goodness only knows what will happen to him the first time he pisses her off.”
Dawn said, “Eggs Benedict?”
Everyone burst out laughing. Bog laughed the hardest as he said, “That’s a good one, Dawn! But right you are.”
“Naw, Benny knows better.” Marianne said. Then she lowered her brow and continued in a dark smoky voice, “….and I smell a dance battle with that woman coming on.”
Marianne and her sister laughed but Bog had a serious look on his face as he said, “I am sorry, my dear, but you will do no such thing. In fact I forbid you to have any kind of competitive interaction with that woman.”
“What?” Marianne almost had a look of disbelief. “Bog, you never took that tone with me before.”
“No, but I know this woman. Heaven forbid that you best her at something and she becomes a sore loser. If she decides to fight you, I know you will not win.”
“Bog I can handle myself.”
“No, you can’t, not against her. You saw how quickly she had me disarmed and pinned to a wall?”
“Bog this isn’t like you, I just...”
Bog nearly shouted as he said, “Marianne please! I almost lost you today and you saw what happened to me when I thought you were going to die in my arms. I...don’t know what would have happened if I actually lost you.”
Suddenly Marianne became quiet as her face softened listening to her lover speak.
“Forgive me if I am sounding a bit overprotective of you and taking a wrong tone of voice with you. But after the long struggle you had today to live, I don’t want to see you get cocooned and stuck by that spider woman’s spear all because you bested her at a competition. When it comes to dancing...that is one thing you probably will beat her at.”
“Bog don’t be afraid of her…
Bog interrupted again as he said, “I am not afraid of anything, not even Spydera. But the one thing that scares me to to no end is losing you.”
Marianne put her hand on his hand and her eyes welled up as she said, “Oh Bog. I...I am happy that you are just looking out for me….for us and our future together.”
Bog nodded as he said, “Yes, we are going to plan our wedding soon and I want you to be my wife for a long time.”
Dawn said, “Awwwwww!”
Marianne rested her arm on his shoulder and said, “It’s Ok. I see your point. I guess with my temper it is probably best that I avoid Spydera and frankly, I don’t really care for her myself. You’re right, it isn’t worth it.”
“Thank you and I am sorry for raising my voice to you.”
Marianne smiled.
Dawn said, “Well, what about Benny? Isn’t he in danger?
Marianne said, “Perhaps we are all jumping to wrong conclusions. He is just being nice to the woman. She could use a good mellowing out that is certain. I just don’t trust her.”
Bog rubbed his chin and raised his eyebrow as he said, “I wonder what happened out there on that balcony.”
Everyone laughed.
Dawn sang out as she raised her hands up and moved her fingers around,
(Strange Magic – ELO (Reprise))
(Dawn)
You got a Strange Magic
Oh what a Strange Magic.
Oh, it's a strange magic
[Bog grabbed his staff and put it across his lap as he strummed out a chord progression]
(Marianne, Bog and Dawn)
Got a strange magic
Got a strange magic
Everyone laughed again as Bog played short outro on his staff.
Dawn was looking at her medal when she said, “I still can’t believe Dad made me a war hero.”
“No, sis, you made you a war hero. You were the one that overcame your fears and did what had to be done. Dad just awarded you for that. You deserved it, Sis.”
“But I am not brave, I peed myself, remember?”
Bog laughed but then caught himself and said, “Oh, sorry, I am not laughing at you, but rather the way you said that. Even the bravest folk get scared sometimes. As I just said, I even found something that scares me. With what I have seen today, you certainly did earn that award.”
“Well, I am happy that y’all think I am a hero. I just think that I am just a princess and a lover.”
Marianne laughed as she said, “Oh, Dawn, you are so much more than that and now everyone loves you and that big heart you have. Also you are now our head healer and with that medal you are going to gain a ton of respect from everyone. You are going to be extremely popular, Sis. You are already on the road to becoming a good queen for this kingdom.”
“Really? You think so?” she said as she smiled brightly.
“No, I know so.” Marianne said.
She reached over and embraced her sister. They gave each other a kiss on the cheek.
Dawn put her hand over her mouth as she yawned. Then she said, “Well, I am going to check on Sunny in the kitchen and then we are probably going to call it a night ourselves.”
She then walked over to Bog, hugged him and said, “Overall, you have been very quiet tonight, Boggy.”
“I am just tired. It has been a very trying day and with everything that your sister and I been through today, I think it good that this day has finally come to an end. It is a day I would like to forget. However, I know for you, it is probably a very memorable day,” he said as he pointed to the medal around her neck.
“Yeah, it is,” Dawn said. “Good night and don’t forget to see me in the infirmary tomorrow. We are going to talk about your wings.”
Bog smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Dawn then flew off towards the kitchen.
Marianne asked Bog, “What did your mother mean by, ‘I did what you asked me too?.”
“Well, thanks to my mother, we have a place to sleep tonight.”
“Oh that is great? Where?”
“Your room.”
Marianne said, “What? But my room is trashed right now.”
“Not anymore,” he said with a grin as he started to get up. The two of them headed towards the door.
“What? What did she do?”
“Well, you know my mother and her surprises.”
“Yes, I do, I hope she didn’t decorate it with hearts, streamers and those love balloons.”
The two exited the ballroom and headed for the main stairs.
Bog laughed as he said, “No, no love balloons.”
As they walked up the stairs and proceeded down the hall to her room, Bog thought how different the world was now that he couldn’t fly. Going anywhere just took so much longer. But it wasn’t too bad with Marianne by his side.
“So did you see what your mother did?”
“No. I wanted to, but just didn’t get a chance to get away from the ballroom for a moment,” he said.
The two were quiet for a while as they walked hand in hand all the way to her room. When they got there, there was a note on the broken door that said, “Bridal Suite, Please use other door.”
“Bridal Suite!” They said together.
“Ohhhh, Mother!” Bog said aloud, but perhaps a bit too loud.
“Shhhhhh!” Marianne said. “Not to be mean and shush you, but people are sleeping now.”
“Oh, yeah, sorry about that.”
As Marianne put her hand on the door lever for the working door. Bog suddenly got the thought that his mother probably decorated the room in all white, and he put his hand on Marianne’s.
She looked to him and said, “What is it?”
“I think I should go first...just in case.”
She stepped to the side and smiled as she, “Okay.”
Now Bog found that he was the one with his hand on the lever and he sighed as he pushed the lever down and opened the door. His eyes widened as he entered the room. The room was totally opposite what he expected. Instead of what he thought would stark white, the room was actually very mellow and had a dim reddish glow. The room was nice and clean. Butted right up against the window, dominating the room was a new bed made from huge purple flower with the center in gold. It was much larger than Marianne’s old bed and could easily fit two people. A new sheer canopy was draped over the top and sides of the bed. Within the sheer draping were small amber light spheres. A pair of pillows were placed by the ledge of the window.
As Bog looked to the floor there were several balloon buds on the floor, but they had a light sphere inside. There were some amber light spheres strategically placed throughout the room. The vanity was put back upright and a couple rocks were put in place of the broken legs. The mirror was reattached, but still broken. A light sphere string was placed around it. A new chair was put in front of it.
While Bog was looking around the room, Marianne stepped in behind him.
“Oh! This is beautiful!”
He said, “I know, my mother did good this time.”
“Yeah, Nothing too fancy, but thanks to her we have a nice place to sleep tonight.”
“Yes. I told her to put the bed by the window so we could look up to the stars,” He said.
“Oh, Bog. It’s wonderful and sweet of you,” she said as she leaned over and kissed him. Then she said, “We have to thank her in the morning.”
“Yes.”
“Now the only thing to do is figure out what I am going to wear for you,” Marianne said.
“Well, if you look to the vanity, you will see mother took care of that too.”
Marianne walked over to the vanity and upon it was a nice and neatly folded purple and black silk nightie. When she held it up and let it unfold, Bog got a good idea of what it would look like. It was a two piece nightie as a separate panty fell to the vanity and she picked it up.
She then turned to him and said, “Oh! No looking! I want to surprise you.”
“Oh Ok.” Bog said as he sat down on the bed.
She went off to the bathroom as she said, “Be right back!”
Bog looked around the bed and ran his fingers along the flower petals. It was nice and soft. He figured that his mother must have got at least two of his largest goblins to help her get the bed into the room. He got up and took off his sash and laid it over the vanity chair. He then laid down across the bed. It was very comfortable.
Marianne came back in from the bathroom and he propped himself up on one arm as he looked to her. She was holding her wings which were draped around her. She looked at the way he was lying on the bed and raised an eyebrow to him.
“Ready, Hon?”
“Yes.”
She let go of her wings and folded them behind her as she said, “Ta-da!”
Bog’s eye’s widened as he got a good look at his lover in her new nightie.
The top bodice portion was purple and it thin straps and it has a semi-sheer floral web like pattern on it. It left a good area of her neckline exposed in addition to her shoulders and arms. The center of the bosom area had a single flower and from it dangled four black strings. It had a very high waistline that was in the shape of a ‘v’. Attached to the waist was a black see through skirt that fell to just above her knees. Under the sheer skirt she wore the matching panty. It was purple and very small and had black ties on each side. When she turned around the upper half of her back was open, while the lower portion was in a shallow ‘v’ shape and it extended over her buttocks and came to a point where it attached to the sheer black skirt.
“Oh wow! You are beautiful as ever.”
“Awww, thank you, Hon.”
The two embraced and Marianne started to run her tongue around her lips. Bog knew what he was in for.
The two brought their lips together and they kissed for a long time. He brought his tongue forward and entered her mouth, but as his tongue intertwined with hers, it wasn’t as strong as when they kissed earlier. He broke off the kiss and as he looked into her eyes, she suddenly looked very tired.
“I’m sorry, hon. All of a sudden I’m just so sleepy.”
“I understand, it has been a long day.”
He scooped her up and carried her into the bed and carefully laid her head down on the pillow, up close to the window. He then laid down next to her. The bed was very comfortable and he could feel himself becoming sleepy too.
She said, “Hmmmmm, I love it when you carry me. I will make it up to you in the morning.”
“Yes, I am sure we will have our fun then, but until then…” Bog turned his face away as he yawned and then looked to his lover and said, “Goodnight my dear.”
“Goodnight, Hon. I love you,” she said and then draped her arm around his body.
“I love you too, dear.”
She smiled a little and then her head turned slightly to face outside the window and she said, “Oh, Hon, the stars are out tonight.”
“Yes, it is very nice and you wanted to sleep under the stars tonight.”
“Hmmmmmmm, This is so beautiful,” she said softly.
Her eyelids became heavy and she turned over and laid her head on his shoulder, within a few seconds, she began to snore. She just went out that fast. He just ran his hand down to her leg and pulled up the sheer skirt to expose her bare leg. He started to rub it and feel her soft skin beneath his fingers. He did that until his eyes became too heavy to keep on her soft slender legs. The sound of Marianne’s snoring was further lulling him to sleep and soon he went out too.

Please, update this story, RavenDiablo. I can't wait to read the final chapter! Your story is my most favourite Strange Magic fanfic. It's spectacular.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you again for the kind words and I know you been an avid fan. Writing a chapter does take much work and frankly here on DA, the story didn't receive much attention. It did get more attention over at fanfic.net. Though. But the story is 4 years old now and given that it did poorly at the box office, it is not well known. Having gained a following for a couple years after it's release. I just noticed interest in it has waned dramatically and I am at the point where I am not sure if I am going to continue it. I know a sad thought since I was so close to the end, but pretty much all of my fans are gone already and I am not sure if I want to invest the time, which can take a couple months or more, in a story that has seen it's time. I have not fully made a decision yet, but as you probably have noted, I been busy with my Daz Studio projects and in my personal life, I am planning a move too and staring that down the throat and not looking forward to packing everything up...yet again.
So we will see what happens.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, of course, I understand that you're very busy now and also that it's been a long time since you started to write this amazing fanfic. But look at how much time you have already invested into such a masterpiece and you're just one last chapter before closing it. Nobody says that you have to finish it ASAP, you can finish it when you will have more time. But it would be sad to leave such an elaborate, long and beautiful story without ending. Please, just don't say you're done with this fanfic once forever. I know you can write a spectacular last chapter to close it properly one day!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I know. Sometimes I don't finish the projects I start. I was close to finishing that one, but got side tracked. I probably will finish it eventually, but there is just much going on in my life now. As it is, there is a pending move looming above my head and I am not looking forward to it. I moved too much in my life and it is taking it's toll on me. Having moved three companies and myself 4 times is a lot.
Oh, and no, I can't write a chapter in one day. Not for the kind of stories I work on. I don't want the ending to seem rushed. If I am going to do it, I will do it right!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OK, I understand. Will be waiting for the last chapter of your Strange Magic fanfic no matter how long it'll take.
Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I been thinking about getting back to it, but then something else comes along or I have another idea for Daz Studio. Also, as you probably know already, I am planning a move and that is never a trivial undertaking.

Please update this story soon. It is sooo good. It’s my favorite butterflybog story so far and I can’t wait for more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you for the kind comments on the story. I do intend to finish it and I have the last chapter already started. However, as you probably noticed on my page, I been quite busy with Daz Studio. But I will get back to the story again.
But yes, Chapter 12 will bring the story to a close. It's time has come as I been writing it since 2016 and it is now 2019 and I am STILL not finished with it. I fear most of my fan base for the story has long since up and disappeared! LOL!
I like how the story turned out myself. I have to say the last chapter I wrote, "WAR!" is my favorite, bar none! There is just so much going on in this chapter and I mainly set out to up the ante of what I did with Chapter 6. As it is I know most want to see Marianne and Bog fighting together...against another adversary that is. Bringing Roland back into the picture just set the tone for what was going to happen in Chapter 11.
So if you can hold out a bit longer, I will be getting back to it sometime soon! As it is, more than likely you probably know what is going to happen in chapter 12. Well, at least the main thing.
Again thank you for the kind comments!

You're Welcome and Thank you for the kind comments. Yes, I have started the last chapter, but I am unsure of when I am going to finish it. I wished I would have received more comments on it. But I been working on it off and on for far too long and given that it wasn't a box office hit to begin with, interest in the movie has waned. While that may not seem like a big deal, it is for me given that it does take considerable time to work on a chapter...especially for this story given it's musical nature. What I am getting at is that I poured quite a bit into the creation of Chapter 11 and I almost received no comments or feedback on it. Only a handful of people commented on it. Now that is not the fault of the readers, and to an extent it isn't my fault either. It is just that time was against me on this one and much of the fan base for the film has left and moved on to other interests. So it does have me wondering if completing the story at this point is even feasible. What is the point of writing such an elaborate final chapter when almost no one will read it? I can count on one hand those people I know will read it. While I do have intention on finish it, the priority level is very low at this point and I have other projects that I am work on. Further I am currently in the midst of moving my family from one home to another. I probably will not get a break until after the holidays. So while I would like to finish the story and I am on the last chapter, it is just not a priority right now. I do apologize for the wait, but sadly in lieu of the waning interest in the story due to the lapsed time, I know I will not get many readers. Another thing that is at fault was that I heard about the film nearly a year after it was released. The story just struck a right chord with me and I very much got into it. I became very attached to Marianne and to me, the woman is a dream and a breath of fresh air. In fact I still have her picture on my tablet and I see her every day. In a way I know I owe it to her and Bog to deliver the proper ending that I believe the film should have had. But again, it is something that I will return to once things in my real life have settled down. Moving is no fun and goodness knows it is something I have done numerous times. Not only myself and my family but also I moved three companies too. Anyway, thank you again for the kind comments. That is something I always appreciate.

Yes, and I been through that about 7 times over (this move will be #8) including the companies I moved. While moving a house is an ordeal, try moving a company. Granted, it was more than just me and there was much help with the larger companies I moved as everyone had to pitch in when moving, but still it is very exhausting.
Oh, I know when a chapter doesn't come out good when I rush it and often when I read through it, I end up redoing large parts of it. As it is Chapter 12 is going to be such a chapter. I ended up writing too much about Spydera (Felicie) as I really was intrigued by her and I liked the way her drawing came out too and she ended up commanding quite a bit of the first part of chapter 12. Looking back on that, I over did it and thus, I am going to rewrite that section so it doesn't take up too much time. Thank you for the kind comments. So you read other Strange Magic fanfic's? I read a few myself and I noticed one big difference with mine. I think I am the only one that stuck with the musical format of the movie. And let me tell you that I have to agree with what Lucas said when he made this film. It is NOT easy to pick out and then rework songs to fit a scenario. As a matter of fact, he even revealed that it took him 15 years to put the songs together for Strange Magic.
I too am very fond of Beauty and the Beast stories and I do like pairings that are very different. As you see it follows with Benny and Spydera...a reverse situation of Marianne and Bog. He's a strapping looking fairy and well, she's a Spider Queen.
Yeah, I will eventually finish it. I just have much on my plate right now.
Thank you once again.

Thank you as well for taking the time to respond to my comments. It really does mean a lot to me. And yes you do seem to be the only one to follow along the line of including music. Perhaps that’s why your fanfiction is my favorite because it is most closely connected to the movie. Either way I wish you luck with the move and the writing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're Welcome. Of course I would respond. Getting comments is a rather joyful experience for me that (sadly) doesn't come very often.
Yes, I have noticed that and also those that have commented told me that too that I seem to be the only one that follows the musical format of the movie. It isn't easy either to describe the dialog as the song is being played (and/or sung). So in order to help, I do tell readers to look up the song on YouTube and play it during the part in my story as the dialog occurs. It does help to picture what is going on.
I do admit that both Bog and Marianne are not very difficult characters to do. Bog is easy, because...well, I am quite a bit like him in real life. Marianne is just amazing and like Bog, I myself am quite attracted to her in real life. So after seeing the film about 33 times to study the characters for the story, the main couple does seem to be fairly easy to do now. Dawn is another easy one. But I do put a bit of a twist on her in that initially she is like what she is in the movie, but later on in the story she does take on responsibility and she grows considerably in regards to her personality. I do have a soft spot for her as well and I just couldn't stand by and have her coming off as a free spirited but mindless dingbat. I wanted her to make the reader think that there is much more to Dawn than meets the eye and she is quite a bit smarter than most people make her out to be.
As for the move...The fun already started today. I closed on the house this morning and ended up spending most of the day (and a good chunk of money) on window treatments as the house has none. Even though it is an older home, it was remodeled before it was put up for sale and many items are new, including many of the windows, so there is nothing on them. Next I have to get contractors out to the house for some plumbing and electrical work. So I am going to be very busy this month.
Thank you again for the comments and your understanding.

I’m glad that things are going well for the move. I do enjoy the progress that Dawn makes through your story. It fits her character well. She never seemed to be completely ditzy even in the movie. I feel like she was only like that because she didn’t feel the need to be a control freak over details because her sister was already like that. And I completely understand watching the movie multiple times. I myself have watched it well over 50 times. It’s my favorite movie by far. And I’m happy to have found a story with such an amazing author to give the movie the proper ending it deserved.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So far things are moving well, but there have been hangups too. I found out today I have to tear a wall surface down so the plumber can get to some of the connections for the washing machine.
Yeah...Dawn was a bit on the ditzy side, but I chalked it up because she didn't have much responsibilities and yes, usually her father leaned on Marianne for that. But when things started to change and it seemed more and more that Marianne would be spending her future life with Bog and possibly marrying him, Dawn had a bit of an awakening in that would make her next in line for Queen of the Fairy Kingdom. So knowing that an entire kingdom would be possibly counting on her made her realize that there is more to life than just dancing and singing at parties and ogling guys. She realized that the one guy that was good to her was her life long friend and that was really all she needed.
50 times huh? Darn! That beats me.
It was a decent movie, but the characters were the backbone of the movie. They were just well thought out and created. I just wish Lucas would have put more into the story as much was left hanging at the end. Lots of unanswered questions.
Thank you again for the kind words. I didn't finish it yet, but it will eventually get there. Right now I just have to turn my attention to this upcoming move AND the holidays.

Like I said, you take the time to make sure you’re in a good place before you get back to writing. Your stability is more important than a story. And yeah. I have watched it a lot. And now that I’ve bought it I can also watch it on my phone so my power is kind of unlimited lol. I agree that the movie did leave a lot to be wanted but I feel like that also enabled viewers to think of their own endings and let their imagination be free. Which is also good. Your interpretation is just the best one so far. Anyways, I wish you luck with the writing and with the house. Thanks again for keeping in touch with me.

Yes, it is going to be a bit. Everything is on hold right now because of the move. Also because of my varied interests, I ended up amassing a rather large collection of collections (if that makes sense). Going through and packing my single bookshelf alone is backbreaking. I just have too much stuff and I have to start to lighten the load and give up some of my hobbies. I just have too many.
I see! So you can watch Strange Magic in just about any place and time. Have mobile device - Will Travel (To the Fairy Kingdom and Dark Forest)! Hmmmm, yes I can see that, but it would have been nice to see a bit afterwards, such as Bog finding a new place to life and then Marianne puts the pressure on her father to help out. A little more bonding time between Marianne and Bog. Really the whole thing I just mentioned could have been done in about 10-15 minutes more of film time.
Thank you again. I never considered my self the best as I am no way a professional writer, but I did feel that I was at least in the upper percentile. I have read some stuff that was just...well, pretty bad. I don't win any awards in my stories being perfect grammatically either, but some just really butcher the English language and they use WAY too much slang, or worse, phone (text) talk. But discovering that I was the only one that incorporated music in my fanfic I did find odd. No one even attempted to do that. But it is true that it does require much time and perhaps that is why many didn't do it. The good thing is that I have already selected the songs for the final chapter and they are all going to be very heavy hitters. After all, now I am wrapping it up and I did want the story to go out with a bang!
Thank you. Yes, this month is going to practically kill me as I want to have the 'core' items in place at the house by Thanksgiving. Other parts of the home, such as the garage, basement and shed will take longer to get in order.
Sure of course. If you want to continue to talk about Strange Magic with more details, you can drop me a note. Then you can discuss particulars without giving them away here and potentially spoiling the story for other readers...not that there are many left.
BTW, you been on DA long? I checked out your page and it is blank! Do you have any artwork to share?

No. I haven’t been on here long. And I haven’t posted any stuff yet either. I’ve been thinking about it but I just don’t know yet. I’m a photographer but I also like to edit images with an app called PicsArt. I’m a lot better than I used to be that’s for sure. I might post some things but my range of likes is pretty sporadic and covers a lot of stuff. I have some mlp oc’s that I’ll probably post actually. I just don’t know yet.

How long you been on DA? Cool! So you do photography and post editing work? No worries on the range of likes...have you seen my page? Yes, it is all over the place. I do literary work, some photography in terms of the moths I get every year in the spring / summer. I have done some freehand sketches, but I am not very proficient yet there. Finally 3d modeling work with Daz Studio. With the latter I try to marry visuals from Daz with my literary work and try to give my Daz characters some life. What is MLP? Well, whenever you get a shot. I would like to see some of your work.

I think I’ll start posting some of my photography for now and maybe later post my oc’s. MLP stands for My Little Pony.
