My short story "Further Arguments In Support of Yudah Cohen's Proposal to Bluma Zilberman" is up today at Diabolical Plots!

Obviously death of the author and all that but nonetheless here are some word-of-God canonical facts:

1. Yudah's pronouns are he/him/his
2. Yudah is definitely much hotter than poor Hershel Schmulewitz (that blockhead)

AAAAHHHH THIS IS SO CUTE! Yesssssss, Hershel Schmulewitz is a total and utter blockhead. I bet he wants kids. And for Bluma to look after HIS mother (may she have a long life) when she gets old. And probably he wants a lack of werewolves in his family, like only a total and utter blockhead would. AND I am convinced that he has, objectively speaking, a stupid face. Meanwhile, Yudah Cohen seems like a nice young man with PROSPECTS and a GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS and the general kind of thoughtful, resourceful nature that any woman would be happy to see in a husband. <3<3<3 THIS IS GOOD FICTION AND YOU SHOULD FEEL GOOD.

[rymenhild]

Exactly! I bet Hershel Schmulewitz has the most obnoxious relatives. You know, they're all RICH and STUPID and you can't have a decent conversation about them that isn't about the price of wheat. But if Bluma marries Yudah, she won't ever have to deal with in-laws at all, and I'm sure he'll be totally lovely to her werewolf mother all the time.

This is really charming :)

[skygiants]

Thank you! :D

[grrlpup]

I enjoyed that! :)

[skygiants]

I'm glad you liked it! :D

[gramarye1971]

A very enjoyable story! (I find it a most convincing and well-argued proposal.)

[skygiants]

Thank you! :D (It's very important that a rabbinical student be able to formulate a good argument!)

[agonistes]

BUT WHAT DOES BLUMA SAY IN RESPONSE, I NEED TO KNOW

(also: delightful!!!!)

[bcgphoenix]

I SECOND ALL OF THIS

*____________*

[littlerhymes]

I love the narrative voice in this, it's delightful. :D

[skygiants]

Thank you! :D I'm glad you liked it.

Mazel tov!

[skygiants]

Thank you! :D

[kiezh]

That is a very charming story! I especially liked this line: "I’m certainly putting my future in your hands by telling you this, but then isn’t that what it means to marry somebody anyway?" :D

I hope she says yes! And that they figure out whatever needs to be figured out re: the werewolf situation.

[skygiants]

Aw, thanks! I liked that line too. :) I'm glad you liked the story!

[gogollescent]

I love this so much, FOR ALL OF IT, but cemented by point six. and point six's pang of recognition.

[skygiants]

The rest of the letter may be plausible sophistry but point six is obviously just PLAIN FACT. (I'm really glad you liked it!)

[loligo]

Completely adorable! I hope they are very happy together.

[skygiants]

Thank you! :D Yudah Cohen certainly hopes so also.

[raven]

Becca! My whole household have read your story! We all desperately want to marry Yudah Cohen!

[skygiants]

HE'S A CATCH. :D I'm super glad you and your household liked the story!

[obopolsk]

This is wonderful! Add me to those who want to read her response.

[skygiants]

YUDAH ALSO WOULD LIKE TO READ IT. I'm glad you liked the story! :D

[davidgillon]

I love this, but especially point 2!

[skygiants]

Point 2 is very important. >.> I'm glad you liked it!

[nextian]

Becca I'm on my third reread and it seems to me that the only appropriate response on Blumah's part to this is FULL LIZZIE/DARCY?? God, I love it so much.

[skygiants]

Emma, I give you absolute full permission to write Pride And Prejudice And The Pale Of Settlement. >:DDDDD

[china_shop]

Adorable! *applauds*

[skygiants]

Thank you! :D

[sophia_sol]

Such a delightful story! Yudah is clearly A+ husband material and I trust Bluma is able to recognize this :)

[skygiants]

Yudah would ABSOLUTELY be the first person to agree with you. :D I'm glad you liked it!

[saramily]

SO GLAD to see this up, it was delightful to reread and adore Yudah all over again.

[batyatoon]

This, for srs. :D

[kate_nepveu]

This made me grin all over my face.

[skygiants]

:DD I'm glad you liked it!

[lacewood]

This is adorable! Also I totally second all the comments requesting the sequel of Bluma's reply to Yudah Cohen's comprehensive proposal >:D

[skygiants]

HE TRIED TO COVER ALL THE BASES. I'm very glad you liked it! :D

[lemon_badgeress]

Point 4! Point 6! AAAAAAH! So excellent.

DO tell us she says yes! Clearly a woman loved by such a worthy man as Yudah Cohen deserves better than to marry Hershel Shmulewitz (that blockhead)!

[skygiants]

Someday perhaps a sequel will answer this question! until ten the READER MUST DECIDE. (I am very glad you liked it. :DD)

[luzula]

Awww, I am delighted and charmed! That was exactly what I needed to brighten my day.

[skygiants]

Thank you! I am glad it brightened your day. :D

[jinian]

Yay I love it. Bluma couldn't possbibly fail to make the right decision.

[skygiants]

I am very glad you liked it. :D

[dimestore_romeo]

This is so incredibly charming!

(I hope she says yes. I could read 100,000 words of this)

[skygiants]

Thank you!! (100,000 words is SO MANY WORDS @__@ but there might be some more words of this, someday. :D)

[batyatoon]

Poor Hershel Shmulewitz. I hope he finds a nice girl who can manage him efficiently and doesn't mind so much that he's a blockhead.

[rymenhild]

As long as she isn't Bluma.

[opusculasedfera]

So beautifully argued!

This is impossibly charming, and I wish them every happiness. <3

[skygiants]

Thank you! :D I am very pleased by all the well-wishers they have turned out to have.
