Saki101 has been wonderfully generous with their comments, they are often lovely like that! Having been granted the honor of appearing as your colleague in this thread, I will talk shop for a moment and add that one of the most distinctive elements of saki101's style is their rich descriptiveness when it comes to details of furniture, architecture, or clothing. They have a vivid visual imagination and a love for material culture and physical artifacts. To me the peacock motif of Madame Willow's room, particularly the details of the seance table, seemed like saki101's thumbprint in that story. Note also the delicate descriptions of inner and outer robe, with attention paid to color and texture. And finally, the very distinctive, pretty, and ornate curlicue at the close of the story is a text pattern that saki101 has used before to separate sections in their stories :)

Speaking of being generous with their wonderful comments, Rachelindeed! Yours always make me so very happy!

I am intrigued that it was the description of the room and the table that totally gave me away. :-D *chuckling* And, and...you recognised the style of my ending curlicue!! That is careful reading with all capital letters and several exclamation marks!!!

Thank you, thank you!
