<p>Nitro~Nina: /* It certainly doesn&#039;t drag-on... */ new section</p> <hr /> <div>And he remains incredibly enjoyable for me to read. -- Alex Warlorn Dec 2007 28<br /> <br /> And I still come back to read this story again and again. -- Alex Warlorn March 2009 1<br /> <br /> == It certainly doesn't drag-on... ==<br /> <br /> My favourite thing about this story is the characterisation of each part of the dragon. Beh the leader and change-maker, Jo the practical problem-solver, Pi the mystic adept and, well, Ray, whom I'm not sure was ''totally'' in-character during the big moment but whose inclusion is very, very helpful when keeping the beautiful, flowing stream-of-consciousness(es) pinned to human reality. A good tail makes for a good tale, I always say (I do not). That said, I think I can tell why Behjopiray might have been easier to write than other characters; the story seems like it could very easily have become opaque to all those outwith the mind of the writer, but it's kept clear enough for the audience that I could always tell what was happening moment-to-moment.<br /> That's a fine line to tread, and with four left feet as well!<br /> <br /> --[[User:Nitro~Nina|Nitro~Nina]] ([[User talk:Nitro~Nina|talk]]) 17:40, 15 July 2022 (CDT)</div>

<p>Nitro~Nina: Comment on how cool the story is</p> <hr /> <div>==Transgender==<br /> It's strange, because this story very emphatically isn't about a trans woman. It's about a man, if anything in the exact opposite situation, and often using understandably-for-the-time old-fashioned language, a man that would probably, from the text, consider me more of a freak than he considers himself.<br /> But the way you describe those feelings of daring, realising you're not the centre of attention if you don't want to be, the excitement of a well-fitting bra and the panic at the merest hint of being outed? The cis friend making it all fun and friendly and safe, even? I feel extremely seen, certainly much more so than I was expecting to.<br /> Plus, I'm a big fan of Xanadu and this one in particular analyses the setting in some fun ways, which is cool.<br /> Awesome work!<br /> --[[User:Nitro~Nina|Nitro~Nina]] ([[User talk:Nitro~Nina|talk]]) 12:29, 9 July 2022 (CDT)</div>
