cofax7: climbing on an abbey wall  (Atlantis)
[personal profile] cofax7
I expect everyone in the Atlantis fandom has read [livejournal.com profile] auburnnothenna's Legion the Things I Would Give to Oblivion by now (Legion for short). If you haven't, I encourage you to do so: it's a tour de force of storytelling. Although I should warn you: it's not a happy story.

There are a lot of things to talk about in this story: plot, characterization, style, and so forth. I'm going to skip those and focus on the story structure: in particular, the order in which the plot unwinds, and what effect that has on the reader's experience of this particular story.

The rest of this essay will be full of spoilers for the story: consider yourself warned. )
