Thank you for posting this! I thought I read all your works but somehow I missed "The metonymy of gloom and horror". (probably because I didn't read AU stories with different character names before.. but then your "The Fatal Cravat" changed everything! ^^;;;)
You know, what I like most about reading Saiyuki fanfictions is that there are so many possibilities for interpretation of characters, without losing touch of their original characteristics. It seems like there are as many Sanzo, Goku, Hakkai and Gojyo as there are fanfic writers. They are all still them and yet somehow all slightly different; it's so fascinating that I don't think I'll ever get tired of reading Saiyuki fanfics. There always seems to be new character discoveries to be found.
And I like your version of Sanzo, Goku, Hakkai and Gojyo very much. They are somewhat different from how I view them myself, (your version is quite darker and actually much more creepy.. ^^;;; it shocks me sometimes and then I realize you're probably right and it breaks my heart.. poor boys) but somehow I think your viewpoint is closer to that of Minekura Kazuya's.
Oh, my, look at me.. I'm babbling on in your journal! ^^;; I just wanted to tell you that I always enjoy reading your fics(Thank you for sharing them with us!) and look forward to reading new ones in 2008. Happy new year, Louise Lux!!
