Maggie Summers 2008-09-28 ch 1,	Wow. Well, I always wondered what people are thinking when they have these disorders. Guess I know now... -Maggie
Feel The Waltz 2008-07-08 ch 1,	Flawless, again.
eyesoar 2007-12-07 ch 1,	wow, this was really god
just a ray of sunshine 2007-04-02 ch 1,	Wow, that was amazing. I love how you captured the main character so well without it sounding kind of whiny and emo. You are definitely a GREAT writer.
Nghi 2006-12-03 ch 1,	WHAT. Your stuff is amazing, loser. 8D Ah, another rare case of boy anorexia. Or at least, on fp anyways. I liked it. :) I loved how throughout the story there was the clashing mentality of how the masculinity boys should emulate, versus the whole eating disorder thing. And I especially LOVED how Mike would rather be effeminate rather than be masculine, if being masculine meant that he had to eat. That's a very different POV right there, and it's probably true. When you talk about the food in there, it sounded very much like me, because I envision myself eating ** like that, but I'm just too afraid of going for it. And wtf at him being 105 pounds before. I WANT to be 105. I'm terrified of the scales. Sometimes it shows what I want to see, and sometimes it doesn't. Either way, the numbers are terrifying because it can either make or break my day. In Mike's case, it probably holds true, too. Binging is the worst feeling ever. That's when you just suddenly lose it, you know? And things are ruined forever. :( I feel so bad for him and everything. "Mike passed out on the bathroom floor, his head hitting the scale. There was a smile on his face when they found him an hour later." I really like this last line. OK, I'm going to play analysis here and say that the way his head fell onto the scales could mean that he died THINKING about his weight. And there was a smile meaning that, obviously, he was very proud for being "strong" and resilient to the enemies presented towards him. That's some pretty powerful stuff, and I don't know whether to insert a ":D" or "D:", because while it's written well, the topic is just so GARH!sad. Good work, though. Good work. -Nghi
Frore 2006-03-20 ch 1,	Beautiful and sad.Especially to someone who is ED-NOS. You captured the emotions perfectly.One of my friends (Miraiki, on fictionpress.net although I might have spelled that wrong) recommended you to me because you write so well, and I have yet to be disappointed. =) I thought you might like to know.
Empty Jigsaw 2005-11-28 ch 1,	Amazing insight; your empathy for the bulemic/ anorexic character is amazing, how it's about so much more than being thin (you have to keep control, each pound you lose is another personal victory) and yet how it's all about being thin (can you feel the bone? you ought to be able to feel every bone). I love your style, it follows the off balance mind that somehow makes logical sense.Regards, Empty Jigsaw
strawberries'n'sugar 2005-08-23 ch 1,	I just realised that I've read half your stories before, so I don't know why I haven't reviewed them already, seeing as how they're ** amazing. This story is great - your writing is fantastic. I don't know what to say. It's all so great. B.
Queen Anabella 2005-03-06 ch 1,	I really can't believe I haven't read your stuff before. The things you write are amazing. There is no other word to describe it. The way you portray human emotion, thoughts, and actions is just--wow.~Queen Anabella
Seremela Minyatur 2004-11-25 ch 1,	another awesome story! i love your writing style! adds to favorites and the title was good. i absolutely love brand new (i'm assuming that's where is came from)
la nuit, mes yeux t'eclaire... 2004-04-13 ch 1,	so i found you through a really twisted system of reviews and such, but it was your pen name that initially caught my eye. i have found another blood brothers obsess-ee! yay! how i want to have their love child... sigh. i could rant on and on about their music's razor blade loveliness, but i'll restrain myself. :) as for the story, i liked it a lot. it is very subtley moving, and demonstrates a great understanding of anorexia/bulemia. great development as well.
CW-nerd-12 2004-03-07 ch 1,	Wow. You're an absolutely incredible writer. I'm jealous (that is no small feat, trust me ;~)).
pleasecometrue 2004-01-07 ch 1,	wow. That was wow, powerful, and amazing. Packs a punch, great write.
butkissesare 2003-12-24 ch 1,	Amazing story. I've read countless accounts of eating disorders, but yours was somehow different, and that is what I love about. And the last line is brilliant.
Escapist 2003-12-07 ch 1,	That was mesmerizing. You took a topic that I've read about a thousand different times and portrayed it in a way that's just...breath taking and completely unique. Beautiful job. Oh, and I adore your website and pen name, along with your taste in music.
