Talk:Long Live (Songfic)/@comment-26432133-20170801225446

wfwa judge's comment-

SPOILERS

Okay so while I grew up on TS's country music, I somehow never heard this song. I listened to it before reading this and it won't get out of my head now haha. Anyways, I absolutely love this! The ship between Bluefang and Tigerlily is just amazing, and I love how well they fit with each other. The flashbacks do amazingly at describing how their friendship worked from kithood, and it's absolutely adorable. Noooo is Bluefang gonna die? D: Please don't, Bluefang. I think I'll check out the next songfic, though I'm swamped with work and don't think I'll have time to leave a comment. I like Owlstep, she's one of those characters who would genuinely be a good ship with Bluefang but the reader knows Tiger/Blue for life. Seeing as I haven't read the previous songfic ( I really should tho C: ), I could be wrong about Owlstep, but we'll see xD

Now, Long Live was nominated Best Fits Song (Songfic) and yes yes yes, this story does a GREAT job at matching up song and story. I also really like the balance of lyrics and writing, which moves the story along while also keeping the meaning of the lyrics relevant. Sometimes the flashbacks are smidge too long, but it still works well.

Man, this was written two years ago and it's still undeniably wonderful. Amazing story, Rainy, and best of luck in WFWA!
