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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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)!

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

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

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.

So beautifully argued!

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