Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[RuleThirtyFour sexually explicit]] or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

** OperationShoestring: I'm going to have to disrec. The blog clearly contradicts Lewis's work on several points, and lacks anywhere near the depth of analysis the original had.
*** Concerning the contradictions, remember that the blog is being narrated be a devil serving the prince of lies. Screwtape contradicted himself several times in the original book as well. I agree the analysis is not as deep, but the style and theme are intact, and the subjects are still insightful. I would still recommend it.

Negative comments (or "de-recommendations") are not allowed in fanfic recs pages. Add them in the fic's review page if you would like to criticize the work.


** This troper found it lacked the wit of the original. And while ''Literature/TheScrewtapeLetters'' were never subtle, the fic is preachy.

** OperationShoestring: The only rec here thus far that is actually in agreement with Lewis's work. HonorH being Christian probably has something to do with that.

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
It\'s much more reasonable to warn about NSFW material in fanfic. Warnings for same-sex pairings, but not for opposite-sex pairings, only makes sense from a homophobic perspective. (Not that this will probably end up being relevant, considering that this is a recs page for The Screwtape Letters. It\'s the principle of the thing.)

** An exceptional piece - almost like reading the original Screwtape Letters. It helps that a few of the points made (happiness, perseverance) are lifted almost directly from the original material.
