abuseI'm still in the process of reading chapter two of Caramel Macchiato, as well as any others I haven't read/skipped over; actually, I was halfway through with the former, but I had to get off the computer.

Right.

Eh, this chapter was a bit fast-paced, I suppose; maybe it's because I'm tired, or because I read too fast, but yeah -- the actions seem to just glide by. It wasn't exactly my favourite chapter, but at least I could look at it. =]

And, I honestly don't care about the "God" thing, although I won't take my time to get into it. I noticed that you used "gods" a lot, hahah. Oh, and are you English, or is that just a habit you picked up?

Still looking forward to more! =P

abuseEither I was reading too fast, or this particular chapter was a bit fast-paced; either way, it kept my attention. Perhaps it was the anxiousness to read it? Don't worry, really, about hurrying on your stories -- we know you have a life; or, at least, should. :P

Right. When I read your Author Notes at the top, I tried my best to find the "errors", and in this one, I really only noticed one, how "God" was not capitalized -- though honestly, I don't really care. I'm not really sure, though, about words proceeding the "...", whether they should be spaced or not. =\

Anyway, I'm looking forward to Chapter Eight -- maybe it'll be a little longer? ;)

And, for the record, I am a male.

abuseWow.

I came to this story... two or three days ago, and when I read the first chapter, I immediately wanted to read the rest; unfortunately, I had to go, hence my comment being delayed to now. I absolutely love the story (although I will admit that my tastes generally involve longer chapters), and you pulled off the first-person viewpoint very well. First-person is just something I normally can't get into.

Anyway, there are (as all stories go) pros and cons, though most of the cons aren't about the storyline itself.

Being such a great author, I would suggest (politely, of course) practicing more grammar skills? I noticed a few mistakes, some of which popped up, others that weren't quites as noticeable, but they bothered me because I'm basically an English freak (and proud of it, too). Some things seem to be a habit, and everyone knows habits are hard to break; if you don't notice any particular mistakes, though, then I guess they aren't really that big of a deal.

The story itself is fantastic; sure, it's a little short in comparison to some stories, and again, I suggest making each chapter longer, but things were worked around, apparently. I like the characters (Aiden and Derrick, I mean), but in my opinion, Aiden might be able to use a little bit more developement? I didn't see the homosexual thing coming for a while, but after I saw him practically obsessed with Derrick (so it seemed), the thought occurred to me; I don't know whether this was intentional or not, but that was also something that was developed pretty well.

What I'm most anxious to know about is Derrick, though. For me, the past is just... something no one really forgets, and as much as the "narrator" talks about it makes me think, "Well, what happened?" as I'm sure a lot of readers might also think. Derrick, himself, is a really well-developed character.

Bottom line, you're a fantastic writer, and the story was fantastic. Don't take anything as an insult, please; it was not intended as such. Keep writing, please, because I'm really anxious for the end of the story. =]

abuseI find Aidan to be an intreasting character and I enjoy the first person viewpoint. I'll check out chapter two when I get a chance and post more of an in depth review. Keep up the writing.
