I wanted (want) to talk and talk and talk about it--which isn't always true of stories that I just unalloyed-ly love.
That makes sense to me; I have trouble talking sometimes about things I love wholeheartedly, and stories that are flawed and fascinating sometimes offer the most to think critically about. I never wrote about the novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, although it was one of the loveliest reading experiences of 2006; I just finished writing two thousand words on LJ/DW about the finale of the miniseries, because some of it really worked for me and some of it really didn't and the reasons in both cases are interesting for me to think about. I am still thinking. Sometimes a thing being done not quite right brings into focus what it is you value about what the work was attempting to do.
