This is a good story and I love it. I'm very happy that Caspar and Alek were together in the end. Great job, and I'm off to read more of your stories.

;}

VGT

I just have to say- I'm crying right now... I never cry! this is just heart breaking... which means it's really good!

I forgot about this story for a while, but I'm glad I found it again. It was wonderful,witty, and above all bittersweet, I loved every chapter. Great job, and congratulations on finishing it.

ya know I had seen this fic a billion times under other people's favorites (i usually skim through them after i have read one of their own fics, thinking that i'd probaly like some of the same stories they do. it's true ;P) but i had never actually decided to read it. i guess the "Sandman" part threw me off as boring (please don't hit me! *hides*) i really should stop doing that...i do it with manga too. i see the cover or title and don't think much of it so i don't try it out but when i actually do read it (usually months later) i love it. -.- gotta stop judging so quickly

anyways...

i luved your fic! XD Caspar is a very fun character and Alek and him are so cute together *hearts* i'm very glad i decided to read this!

the Boogieman thing is hilarious! XD back in an ealier chapter when Val said "Bo-" but was cut off by Lorne i assumed he was going to say "Boy" not "Boogieman" ! XD and the Boogieman likes sugar! that's so cute!

great fic! very well written!

I believe I wanted to cry. I believe the Boogieman is simply hawt.

You rock :D

I was terrified that The Sandman's Kiss would have an unhappy ending - one of the many things I seem to have in common with your characters. When I read Ch. 12, I began to cry while I read, but I couldn't stop - reading, at least. I am so happy to have been priveliged enough with the joy of reading your work. It was, is, and always is, beautiful, without a doubt. I look forward to seeing The Sandman's Kiss in print someday, along with what first led me to your stories, Spontaneity. Or perhaps it was serendipity?

In any case - many, many thanks.

Yay! Good ending!

This story was very well written, and I'm glad I checked back on it after chapter 12, because my author alerts don't seem to be working. But anyway...Yeah. I enjoyed this a lot, and I really do like the ending. Now I'm going to go check out those pictures you said you had...

Keep writing!

wow, i can not tell you how much i adore your story. i found it a couple of days ago and thought that it might be a cute story, but once i got into it there was no turning back. i've never had a story i've read over the internet extract such emotions from me. i was literally crying my eyes out at the end of 'Dreaming in Red' and it took several hours before i was calm enough to even sleep (i finished reading that chapter kind of late it was around 10 and i couldn't sleep until past 1 in the morning). 'The Sandman's Kiss' will most definitely go down as one of my favorites and i must thank you for writing this. You have no idea how much it meant to me.

:]

Ah! Its finished! I waited forever for this one! It was the first story I read from you and most probably my favorite. Im actually kind of sad that its over, but I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

Much love to you!

I really liked this story. It made me cry! :P but it was brilliantly written and well thought out. Congrats, it turned out perfect! I'm glad it didnt have a bad ending :P and i'm even more pleased that it wasnt an all-together happy ending.

Great work! Keep it up!

Precious

Of all the stories I've read in all of my years, this has got to be the best. I can't exactly put into words the feelings I've recieved from this story, but I have to say it's amazing. You've done a wonderous job creating a world where readers can escape reality and into your fantasies. Thank you.

I have loved this story from beginning to end. It was the perfect blend of angst, crack, romantisism and just pure good writing. An all 'round pleasure. Thank you so much.

God, this is a beautiful story. You're an amazing writer, and I hope you'll write many more, because I'm really looking forward to reading them.

I found The Sandman's Kiss through the Whispered Words recommendation base, so I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I LOVE YOU. Like, seriously. (In a strictly platonic, author/story/and as-I-still-am-amazed-and-surprised-to-now-be-able- to-add friendship adoration sort of way) You're lucky we're not at school right now, or I'd SO hunt you down and glomp you. Not that I might not do so anyway, but at least I'll be more rational by than. -

(I'll get to the epilogue soon, just want to review this first. ) so, you probably notice that I put off reading this chapter, I must confess, I was afraid of what you might have done with the ending, since you were very mysterious about it. But... yeah. I absolutely ADORE what you've done with the story, and sorry for the capitals, but I'm resisting an urge to jump about squealing and need to express that somehow. And not even just that you gave renewed hope in this chapter, it made me cry again, twice; first when Caspar was depressed, then when he was talking to Melchior/Alek AND I REALIZED WHAT ALL YOUR FORESHADOWING ITALICS WERE MEANT TO BE. I'm sorry for my over-exuberance, here, but that was BRILLIANT. And a big part of why I want to jump around squealing or something of the like, because that was SO cool.

and by the way, I like Lorne, he is highly amusing. And you're right; I do forgive Valerian now.

But-but- oh dear, I think I'm out of intelligent and/or comprehensive commentary on the chapter, but this story is so AMAZING. Like, seriously, yay!

I must say, I never dreamed when I first started reading this story that I would wind up finishing it knowing and having befriended the author in person, much less be going to the same college, etc, (and having the capacity to glomp you if I so chose). I have to say, I still don't think I'm quite over how unbelievable awesome (and insanely unlikely) that is. I love looking at random events in my life, and realizing that if someone told me a year ago that it would happen, I probably wouldn't have believed them. In any case, I never would have imagined it on my own, you know?

So. My opinion of this story, really, has remained the same throughout; that it is utterly amazing, and one of the better stories (by one of the better authors) I have ever had the pleasure of reading on this humble little fiction site.

And now, perhaps I'll go read the epilogue. (we very much should get together sometime once we're back at school)

Ha, I should've noticed there was another chapter before my last review.

Ah well, I still liked this chapter. Very glad to see that Alek and Casper are tentatively together. I so love Lorne and wouldn't be averse to knowing more about him (*hintstoryhint*)

yup, that's all _
