(treat) A rose by any other name - for wojelah

[ex_pippin880]

Title: A rose by any other name
Gift for: wojelah
By: [anonymous]
Gift type: fiction, ~ 2400 words
Genre: modern, slightly supernatural
Rating: PG
Warnings: implied violence, weirdness
Summary: lost and traveling down a deserted road, a girl wanders with nothing but an old book and fragments of memory to try to piece together how she got there.
Giftcreator's notes: The prompt was: “Something that starts with a person walking down a road, carrying a book.” This story started out being one thing, and ended up something completely different… Everything in the story is implied, with an embarrassing use of wordplay and puns. The actual story is hidden in there, though, if you can tease out the meaning (I hope!).

Hey, Mouseketeers! junetide 2011 posting has finished! I don't know about you guys, but that was the best winter solstice EVER.

If I have not posted your gift, contact me ASAP. Something has gone horribly wrong if I haven't posted them all.

I am planning on posting the reveals/index on the weekend.

If you want me to fix any typos/formatting issues, change/add genre tags, switch between [anonymous] and [to be revealed], send me a signed version of your art, or add anything to your notes then contact me. :)

We have had 44 gifts! Either look back through the community or use the tags to see them. If you see/read a gift you like, I highly recommend that you comment to let the creator know.

I want to thank everyone who thought this exchange was a good idea, everyone who participated and pinch-hitted, everyone who offered to help, and everyone who has been enthusiastic.

I know there were some bumps here and there -- thanks for putting up with those! Hopefully Junetide 2012 will be smoother sailing. I have some notes for next year, but if you have any thoughts for 2012, please let me know! Was there something about how this was organised that you hated and think should change? Was there anything that was really confusing? Or was there anything that you think worked really well and should stay the same?

♥ Thanks again! Please enjoy all the lovely gifts! ♥
