I like this first chapter and I'd like to see what is going on with Christian. It's been awhile but maybe you'll go back to working on this if you have time.

I have only gotten to read one chapter but I am already in love. It hurts my soul that all the other chapters are down..I came too late.

So our young fellow, with the impossible slashfic name of Christian Simone (which I've been reading as Christopher Simons, to increase plausibility) is not only a seriously dysphoric cutter, but also bulimic, drug-addicted and self-loathing? As the Chief might say to Agent 86, I find all this rather hard to believe.

As well, the romance looks like it's shaping up to be seriously contrived, so the only thing that saves this story for me is the excellent writing. A little more time spent on the plot would have pushed this story over the top.

Good Christ, just reading this hurts. You do an excellent job of putting the reader in the mind of this feller, and your slam-bang writing style gives this perhaps run-of-the-mill angst story a new life.

I beg you, don't make this kid's BF his saviour, the typical route. Someone like him is bound to get into a self-destructive relationship with some guy just as messed-up as him, just with more animal magnetism.

that story is really intense. there's just so much emotion in it. I love your writingstyle :)

Even if you don't like this story, I do!

I found it last night and couldn't stop reading. Your writing style, even back then, is good! And hell when Christian cut too deep and tried to ring Anna, oh, that was awfully sad :'(

And by the way, I hadn't realised that you had written 'Stray Cats Don't Sneak Showers' until you mentioned it!

Anyway, hope you update soon! :)

Jesus... thes are just so cute.. and I reallz hope that they get together :)

Plewase dont drop it just like this, at least write soe kind of an end or something

"No one has touched me like that before, and it scared me that he'd done it so offhandedly."

Oh, I don't know, it seemed pretty hands-on to me...

:)

But seriously. I think this isn't bad. I haven't read your other works yet so I have no comparison, but it's not dreck. It's readable and interesting. I say, if you have grown too much to be able to continue it easily, leave it behind. Maybe wrap it up in one last chapter. Because dragging out a story you've lost the feeling for will be trouble for you and trouble for us.

Also, I am actually following up on your suggestion for 'That Body of Work'. In the past, when people have suggested things to me, (and it hasn't been that often), my response has been "Yes, that's nice dear." Because I only have so much time and I have high standards. But anyhow I'm actually following it up.

Aww please don't drop it :( I want Pepper and Chris to loveeeeeeeeeeeee and smex it up. I love your style and this chapter was great!

Still here, still reading and thanks for the update! I really like this story, and I don't think you should feel that way about it, because it's really, really good. though I do understand since I'm a writer too, and if you lost your inspiration, it can be hard to pick it up again, especially if you got another idea for a new story.

But please, finish this story! It really deserves it. Don't drop it without an end and a complete-sign, this site has already too mny good stories without endings. I hope you will get a lot of reviews for this chapter, because I know reviews can keep your spirit up!

Anyway. I never thought of that Christian could be mad at Pepper because of what he done, but I really love the fact that he was. It makes this so realistic, that he didn't just enjoyed and though it was all good. But I'm happy he talked about it with Pepper in the end. I think they can be a sweet couple :)

I still wonder if Christian will relapse in his issues, part of me hopes so because I love the angst it would give to the story and it would fit too, that it maybe isn't so easy to just make it all good again.

I'm eagerly waiting for the next update!

If it's any consolation, I love your writing style.

It wasn't one of your best chapters, but it was so damn cute. 3 I loved it :) Next chappie ASAP.

This story is absolutely beautiful. I loved the end of this chapter, I do hope you update soon!

*Stares at computer screen in shock* Holy crap. That. Was. Fantastic. Your writing skills just prevail through any type of literature, don't they? Love it! Pepper, you smart cookie. I wouldn't have thought of that, honestly. Great job, and great chapter.

With love, TAW.

I almost cried reading this chapter. Pepper...damn. There are problems, and then there are 'problems'. My heart goes out to those teens in Sweden, it's a terrible thing when our society gets that messed up. Thanks again, this story has really got to me.

With love, TAW.
