AH YOU WROTE HEXWOOD FIC I must read it! (I basically missed Yuletide for immune shenanigans and grant applications, I am sorry... my lameness is only intensifying)
I adore Hexwood unreasonably. I know! It is weird! Its plot is typically DWJ lopsided! It is the puzzliest of puzzle books and I eat it up with a spoon. I loved the time and identity hijinks of it – this is a very niche literary boast, compared to the people who flaunt their aesthetic enjoyment of Joyce, say, but Hexwood has always made total and complete sense to me, it hit me in my intellectual id – and I have never read anything else that has lived up to that level of twisty.
Fire and Hemlock, on the other hand...
By the way! I have bought Hild and one of these long plane rides I am really looking forward to it!
