Amusingly -- and for the first time, I think, since I began playing in Yuletide umpty-mumble years back -- the story I gave and the one I received are both in the same fandom. And since the Rarely Written mods don't do an anon phase, I can show you both of them now....
Here's what I received:
You Make Your Own Destiny by Sumi
Galavant
G • gen • ~1100 words
Isabella, Madalena
Madalena wanted it for reasons that are more practical. She wanted to rule the kingdom and make sure no one opposed her. It was a much more realistic wish than wanting to be like your childhood hero, Super Knight.
And here's what I wrote:
A Woman Is Entitled.... for Missy
Galavant
G • gen • ~3500 words
Madalena (and Richard, Gwynne, Jester, Chef)
The opening number seems clear enough: Madalena and Galavant were madly, hopelessly, genuinely in love. Yet the Madalena we meet at her wedding to Richard -- to say nothing of the woman she proves to be as the series progresses -- doesn't seem to have been in love with Galavant at all. Surely both these stories can't be true...
...but then again, this is a musical. And a fantasy, since there's an actual wizard in it. And that being the case, there just might be an explanation.
