So I just found this story, and I'm so excited. It's got William, Tara (who I love), vikings and will be Spuffy. Perfect combo. I'm tempted to stay up all night to read BUT have stuff to do in the AM :(

Author's Response: glad you liked it, it should be finished soonish

Oooo I see a little ...hmmm, romance is too strong a word at this point...maybe a bonding of sorts with Tara and Conner. I love this story! Great job, keep it up!

Author's Response: bonding isd a good word, Connor respects the LADY in Tara, and the fact that shes a healer, she didn't try to use her skills to get them anythng, but because she had to help. more soon.

I thought that the other woman was Buffy, so you surprised me... Harmony was a good choice though ;) and Tara knows a little healing, that's good! :)

Author's Response: more soon, Harmony had to be the choice she was the only stupid enough to cause that much trouble in an open boat in the middle of the north sea

Hi :)
I just found your fic today, I'm very new at the Spuffy Realm. I'm from Denmark, with a dad in Norway and a whole lot of family in Iceland, and as such the Viking era has been a huge part of my history classes since I was 6 years old.
I think your story so far is really fascinating, with good descriptions and captivating language. I'm looking forward to reading more of it.
Will there be any talk/description of the Viking gods and sagas? I find it's the most fascinating of all the history of the Vikings. I was even named after one :)

Sincerely
Freah

Author's Response: I intend to show a feast and what's a feast without a skald:) Oh yes, they will not be Christian Vikings. the date line is around 900 thank you so much for your review. I live in a Viking rich area (Orkney) many of the local words are more Norweigan than English. If I can keep you happy I have really got it right. update soon

I am really really enjoying this story, and it seems as if you know what you're talking about (or else you've got a great imagination) I hope to see more soon! Not in a pushy way but just cos I'm enjoying it lol

Author's Response: push, push. i need it sometimes:) This period of history is one of my favourites. The way women were treated between Saxon and Viking households, the lifestyle, the freedoms and the culture. they say you should write about what you know so I have:) thanks for the review. i love your stuff, and it meant a lot seeing your name there.

Thanks for the link! I'll check it out later.
I wonder if William is right, if there will be a ransom. Maybe they are worth more when staying a slave. I guess there will be a language barrier with the most people. Oh no, good that William knows his Latin, huh? Spared Tara and Harmony some embarrassment.
I see... maybe they'll be lucky after all and ransom will be paid. But Conner took an interest in Tara (why should he asked what William meant to her?) :) Always helpful (taking care of the wound). Whatever happens that should keep Tara safe. ~ Looking forward to more; hopefully I'll read in time next time :)

Author's Response: you're welcome to the link. more soon

i love this...do you plan on updating often? Please do.

Author's Response: I plan to update frequently, RL allowing. Chapter 4 is on the way, outline done, just need time to fill in thanks for taking the time to review

Latin's helpful to know. :) I sense some chemistry between Tara and Connor.

You have a fine descriptive style. Single quotations are used for thoughts, however. You'd want double quotes for spoken language. :)

Author's Response: I will try to do better:) glad you like it

I loved your explanation at the beginning and the article at the BBC site. It's nice to put a face to the author that's bringing us this wonderful tale.
I love the vivid descriptions you're using in this story, it's obvious you really know what you're talking about and that you know how to transmit it to us, the readers, in a way that we can truly understand how things worked back then. I'm liking Connor very much and I hope we will see more of him, perhaps with Tara? *g* Hee, it was fun to read that Harmony, no matter the era, is annoying as only she can be. *giggles* I'm looking forward to more.

Author's Response: More coming soon. I used to lecture on the woman's roles in Viking society, sounds very good doesn't it but the hardest bit was trying to get people to believe they had a culture at all. I was really delighted when we were invited aboard The Sea Stallion. It was my birthday as well:)!!! She is truely a remarkable ship, she would have made the journey from Trondheim in 3 days if she hadn't become becalmed off Orkney, Very rare thing, no wind around the isles. there will be more of Connor and others. update soon

Oh god... poor, poor people on the ship! With Harmony there everyone will be going crazy in two days.
I liked the play between Connor and Tara... perhabs there will be more of them :).
Very good update... I'm looking forward your next one.

Author's Response: Next one soon. Harmony is digging herslef deep in it without realising, just as Tara is protecting herslef without knowing it

This is excellent. So different to read about these characters at this time in history. It seems Harmony is the same in any time period though huh?

Great job - looking forward to more.

Author's Response: more when I can get the children off of the computer:) glad you enjoyed and thanks for the review.
