In-character words and actions hinting at the RL events. Breathtaking layering of story within a story.
5*, and thank you.
Contrahent,
Thank you! This was definitely an intricate writing process, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Enjoyed the story and then only after reading and reflecting did I realise how difficult it must have been to layer the real world versus game world. It should have been jarring but flowed really well, kudos!
Anon,
Thank you! You are quite right - the writing was a bit more intricate here than in other stories. It was an enjoyable challenge to fit the pieces together. I also used some really simple tricks, like having each character's name start with the same first letter as their player's name.
