eurtreve 2008-04-21 ch 29,	abusei really like your style in this. alot.
gummybaby 2008-02-28 ch 29,	abuseI suspected after the first two or three chapters, that Blake had Aspergers...the way he acted and all. You captured his voice very well. Lovely story.
CrayonMentality 2007-12-16 ch 29,	abuseI'm so so glad that Blake ended up with William. Everything with John and Sam was too intense, he wouldn't have been happy. I loved the earlier hints with the music...
Kitsune Luvr 2007-06-20 ch 29, anon.	abuseI had a feeling that this story would end this way. Blake just seemed the most sane and comfortable when he was with Oggy. Lurv Lurv LURV this story. So much deeper than it first appears. You are an amazing author. And Blake's syndrome just seemed so right. Lol, I don't know what that means, but it just seemed to fit SO well, so appropriately. And it wasn't even that big of a thing. Lurv this story. ^^
Green Eyed Pixie 2007-06-18 ch 29,	abusedamn i don't want it to be over. i loved this story. the simplistic style of writing was awesome and the ending couldn't have been better =D very awesome.
Vigniti Tres 2006-12-31 ch 29,	abuseas much as I loved blake with john and/or sam, i am quite happy you ended him up with william, because it.. it wouldn't have worked -- he was caught up with both of them and i dont think he could fully appreciate either, since he didn't really know sam and sam was too young to really be on the same level of understanding or be accepting enough I think in some situations, and since his love for john was from when he was younger and john had been manipulating him. overall, the conclusion tied everything together very nicely. getting beyond that.. well.. everything.. holy crap. you are so incredibly good. jesus christ. your perfect at voices -- the style of writing you've used is perfectly on key with who blake is, the somewhat stunningly sparse way of going about with your syntax. lovely lovely lovely. i almost want to go back and read it again your characterization is ** EPIC. all of your characters are so real it hurt so much when the bad things happened to them. I cried a lot. blake is the perfect protagonist. he isn't incredibly likeable, but that's perfectly, utterly fine, and in fact, in tune with everything since he's a 'social retard', and fails to impress us as an audience. and i end up loving him anyways because sometimes i've had to resist urges to go hide somewhere during parties, like in a closet or some such. and the fact that he kind of repeated his relationship with john from the past when they were at uni. my other favorite besides blake is definitely John. i feel like I understand him too much. I didn't want to what happened happen because I was like "noo... me!" okay not so much. I'm gonna stop rambling. alright? oh, have you read "The perks of being a wallflower"? one of my favorite scenes in this is in one of the last chapters, with adrian telling blake to get over john and such, and blake is reacting caustically. i was going to be incredibly dissapointed if you had just had adrian walk off since that was such a tense scene that had loads of potential, but you executed it perfectly. i was really really really utterly sad when I looked at your profile and everything is beind edited. which is good.. but Agh ):. I love your writing. and your art, btw. totally watching you on DA. okay I don't want to rant anymore like I am. and sorry for the apparent illiteracy in some of this review, I'm just so enthralled with this story that my mind isn't working properly I guess.
kimper 2006-11-01 ch 29,	abuseWonderful, wonderful job you! :) I had read and immensely enjoyed the two chapters of John's story and was crossing my fingers that you'd written other things. Then I found this! Just lovely. And you've got the professor types nailed down. The way the characters behaved/interacted just flowed seamlessly. It all fit so perfectly. Excellent, excellent work! I can't wait for the next chapter of John's story!
Rinna 2006-10-23 ch 29,	abuseI almost didn't review, to be honest, because a lot of times I don't, and your note at the end of the story unnerved me a little, though I understand your position. I did want to say that I found this to be an excellent story, though. I hadn't fully expected the conclusion, but the only part I found surprising was that I hadn't expected that William would actually feel the same way. I find that to be a much better ending than if Blake had ended up with Jown or Sam, though, because really, neither one would have worked pout quite satisfactorily. Not nearly so well as how you did choose to end it. One think I particularly liked about this story was the style you wrote it in; it was an engaging storyline that maintained an interesting, slightly dream-like quality throughout most of the writing. you yourself mentioned that it was meant to be slightly dream like, and I think in that, you succeeded quite well. I happened to like it, because it helps pull this story just a little bit more out of the norm. Anyway. I know this story is older, written a while ago, but I enjoyed reading it, and just wanted to share some of my thoughts.
soph 2006-09-09 ch 21, anon.	abuseAt this point I'd like to say that I'm actually really enjoying this story, the ambiguity of it, the subtlety of the humour and social interludes.
vollys 2006-09-06 ch 29, anon.	abuseCliched angst is all well and good occassionally, but this I really enjoyed... actually kinda reminded me of Catcher in the Rye. In that it's more about the person than a bunch of action/crappy plot twists etc. Yea, anyways. Stories that make me shout at the computer screen/page are always nice. I love the illustrations too, though I saw them at Y! before I found you here.
Rhoddrin 2006-08-10 ch 29,	abuseThis story really is something. Even though I didn't think that the one Blake would end up with would be Oggy it didn't surprise me att all, but if he stayed with Sam it would've felt odd. When I thought back at the whole story I noticed all those hints you dropped and how uncomfortable Blake seemed in Johns and Sams presence. So I guess Oggy felt right and I kind of do think he was the right choice for him. But everyone of them whould've been right for Blake as long as you wrote that, made it seem right since you're the author ^^ First of all I thought that this would be a quite boring thing with some super dry person as a main charcter, but this turned out good. Really good. Once inside Blakes mind, you can't get out. Your writing style in this story is very inriguing. It was that, which made me want to just hit the backbutton to some other story and yet kept me going, made me want to actually read this story. And so I sat here some couple of hours struggling with the weirdness and in some way reality of it. Oh, and I liked those completly at times, random descriptions of Blakes surroundings.And I even thought that that blonde guy who beat Blake up with that bat would in some way be more involved in Blakes life. Or that something begger would happen after: "And the day after, I meet Sam." Maybe I thought that John would be history then. You really did play with our minds. Will it sound weird if I say that I feel fooled?
Hokit 2006-04-15 ch 29,	abuseOne thing you definitely have going for your story is that although Blake's a character that many people won't shine to straight away, he's far from cliche. I admit: I was surprised he ended up with William. Not just because Blake seemed wrapped up with John and Simon throughout most of the story, but also because there really wasn't that much indication about his attraction to William. In the beginning when they were sharing a dorm, Blake couldn't stand William's antics, let alone love him. Oh, I know there's always the possibility characters and opinions change over time, but I was a little disappointed that far more attention was given to Blake's obsession with John rather than his growing attraction to William. I'm guessing that was part of your tactic - to minimise mentions of Blake-William so that when the final chapter(s) come along, it has that shock value added to it. Not a bad tactic, mind you, but I personally would've loved to have read more about how Blake came to like William and why he chose him over the other two. Anyway, that's enough from me. Your story's an exceptional read. It has great grammar and, more importantly, you actually finished it, which is a rare feat amongst internet fanfic authors these days. Thanks for sharing this story with us. Looking forward to more work from you soon :)
pneumothorax 2005-12-27 ch 29,	abuseI like the ending. You showed how contented he was - the mention of being comfortable stood out in my opinion because it was drastically different o how he was with the other two. I didn't see it coming, but does that matter?
Anon 2005-12-19 ch 29, anon.	abuseMaybe you don't want this, I don't really know but I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your story. I don't ever comment on them so I guess that says something about this. It was different and very lifelike and utterly astounding. I liked how brief and clipped the chapters seemed. Thanks for putting it out.
Fir 2005-11-26 ch 1, anon.	abuseIt was a great story. Really. The characters were so... alive. Blake especially, with his problems. And the John and Sam thing... it was oblivious that he liked them, but it wasn't enough. John was manipullating and hurting him. I liked Sam... with his weird tie fetish xD If Blake wasn't so terrified of everything, maybe they would be happy together. But he was complicated character and Sam didn't really understand him.It was oblivious to me that Blake wouldn't be happy with John or Sam. He should just start seducing William. xD They understand themselves very well and are comfortable about everything. They're a weird couple but a perfect one. :) You writing skills are impressive. ^_^ Plot was interesting and characters were real. Everything was just perfect. :) Keep writing. :) And please forgive me my english. It's my second language. :) The reading is easy but writing... sigh
