 ZaXo Ken'Ichi 2009-08-07 . chapter 1Wow... What to say. This is REALLY good. It keeps you hooked the whole time, and evolves at the perfect pace. It's a little predictable (once John arrives), but what romance isn't, lol. The moment you start reading you know that even if you are sure of what will happen in the end, the journey there is what keeps you attracted to the story the WHOLE way. The blog entries are a good way to see exactly what the characters are thinking, and are a good "theme" that makes the story unique and creative. They are spaced very nicely throughout the story, and give you a perfect little breather from the action. Overall, if you could rate stories, I'd give it a ten out of ten. These are the type of stories I love to read, and I wish I could write. Great job.
By the way, I checked out your profile and noticed that you don't have anything else in the Romance category :( You are really very good at it, and I would definitely read anything else you write in this category (my favorite section, besides Anime/Manga on Fanfic), no matter how long it is :) Anyway, I've said enough. Again, this was flawless. |
 MartinIsMyGoldfish 2009-08-05 . chapter 1This story was beautiful. You write with such skill and subtlety - I love how even the seemingly insignificant details, like the trash on the lawn, become important to the development of the story and your characters. You struck the right balance of loneliness and desperation with a sense of hope and happiness toward the end. Congratulations on writing something truly beautiful. |
