    Congrats, Gemini!

    "Gemini is one of the unsung innovators of the site with new interpretations of canon. She explores the deeper psyches of her characters, creating a rich depth within her succinct approach to writing: Alvis' empathetic nature in contrast with his intellectual isolation; Dione's pure-bred thoughts trapped by her outer silence; Eha's past driving her career; Taryn struggling through the full prejudice and drawbacks of being half-giant, with her monstrous serpent pet; and Felinus stuck as a talking lion. Let alone, what could be considered Gemini's magnum opus on Absit Omen, her excellent portrayal of Teddy Lupin in a post canon world, what could be considered the natural progression for a character introduced at the end of the series' canon."

    "Gemini is a good friend to get to know. She is great to plot with, whether drafting simple threads or byzantine stories, and has her own awesome ideas for other fictions. Plus, a delight to see is her simply charming artwork of her characters' interactions with others from the site. Gemini is a friendly fellow member and a great collaborator OOC. Her humble presence is a cornerstone to the AO community. It is well worth the wait to see her next story innovation."

    "Gemini's characters really run the gamut -- they come from so many different walks of life, and each has such a unique twist that there is no way that they could ever blend into a crowd.  Gemini clearly loves plotting, and she uses her stories to craft and drive her characters.  From Alvis, Eha, and Darius and their struggles with their shared past to Teddy Lupin's ties to canon, she weaves their stories together in a rich tapestry that is always a pleasure to read from afar."

    Thoughts and Impressions

    • Of course she wasn't running now.  Clearly she was standing and putting up with Alvis.  He was unusually considerate for a student.  She'd known many who weren't half as nice as he was and even more who weren't half as polite about personal space.  That didn't mean she had to like him though. 

      ~Katy Bevans (On Alvis Norling)

    • "It was almost protocol, this exchange of good health and well wishes. Only in Britain would even the scum initiate pointless pleasantries. This game, she played it sometimes, but not tonight. It mattered little to her if Darius Gabor was well. Only that he was alive."
      ~Ira Almasy (On Darius Gabor)

    • "I'm not one to talk that often, Dione," Rou said as he finished fleshing out his sculpture's details so that way it became a definitive recreation of one of Dione's forms during her practice. He frowned slightly and cocked his head sideways as he felt, oddly, that his carving of this girl wasn't really...complete. Oddly enough, though her flats were part of the piece, there was something about how her feet moved when they were bare and the two of them were duelling that continued to bug him. [...] Rou's finished sculpture featured a complete detailing of Dione's feet, from every fold and wrinkle, as her body's form was perfectly captured in this carving. And the way her feet flexed in this position as she cast forth a spell perfectly encapsulated the grace and beauty she'd given to the art of duelling."
      ~Roland Dylanis (On Dione Sayer)

    • "Felinus was always wonderful to visit with, and his other friends were here too. It was nice, certainly.
      "Do you need me to come start it back for you, Felinus? I certainly can. Though...we don't mind the company," It took everything in his power not to scratch the lion behind the ears, but he had to keep in mind that this wasn't a pet. He was a person--trapped."
      ~Nightingale Kesali (On Felinus Woodward)

    Gemini this is sooooo deserved, and I'm surprised you haven't gotten it sooner! You are such a pleasure to write with and to talk to. You really are something special, and I'm very thankful that I get the honor of playing with you! Thanks for being so sweet and so kind all the time, and for all the little drawings that I love dearly.

    You are one of my favorites here and I look forward to many more threads together.

    AHHH GEMINI CONGRATS! <3333

    Sorry i am so very late to the party.

    You're just amazing. Super glad you got this. Like Niobe, Taryn is my favorite of your characters but they're all so wonderfully complex beings that it's delightful to read any of your threads.
