I... might have liked Ewen/Alison if it wasn't for Ewen/Keith? I don't know, but I'm just really not a multishipper, I suppose. If I like two characters together, I don't want a third character changing that dynamic, even if I like them—but if three or more characters have a dynamic I like in itself I might well ship them all, together or in different combinations.

Interesting, and a totally valid shipping choice, obviously! : ) I dunno, I think I'm the opposite--if it hadn't been for Ewen/Keith, I would probably not have been as interested in FotH as a book and thus also not been that interested in Ewen/Alison. I guess my reason for wanting to write it is partly because (unlike you) I am interested in exploring how it would affect the dynamic between Ewen and Keith, and partly because of a wish to write more developed female characters. Since there's much less of Alison on the page in canon than there is of Ewen and Keith, that also leaves more space for me to explore her character myself.

But, however, I'm in the middle of a longfic now, so that is all some time in the future. : )
