YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY first and foremost I should tell you that you just got about +100 cool points because anyone who correctly uses baseball innuendos gets so many points from me, hehehehe. ♥ And secondly, yaaaaay this was so much fun to read, I had such a good time! I was making happy faces at the screen the whole time, just gleeful at the amount of detail you worked into this, because it was just wonderful. Especially when Jin was feeling those rippling culture-shocks that really rocked him, because I know my ESL students always say that it takes a few months for that feeling to really hit and sink it. I really loved the way you worked things like into this, and used them to paint a more realistic and wonderful scene for us. ♥ Much, much love, because this was an amazing way to spend the morning! Thanks so much for sharing and damn, you are prolific to get this much written for big bang!

Eeee, yay, I get cool points~ Lol, excuse me while I take a moment to just flail over that, because...I've been looking for a good place to say this, but ever since reading Extended Recess (All of it. Multiple times, as I'm sure most people who read it end up doing. <3) and that dub-con fic (lol), I feel no shame in refreshing your fic journal multiple times per day hoping there'll be updates. So...yeah, cool points from you just make me go sijljgsfjl <33 ( ... )

Ahahaha, really? ♥ I don't know why people seem to love Extended Recess so much. I swear, it's just dumb. I mean I love it, but that's cause it's mine, lol, but thank you so much! ♥ I'm so happy that you like it!

No, the details felt wonderful! I could definitely tell that you pulled so much from your experience, which is good! Because that makes the reader know that the feelings and things are genuine, which makes you feel closer to the story as you are reading it! So I really, really liked that. ♥ And gaaaaaaah I'm so happy to hear you signed up for k_x! It's going to be so amazing, I'm excited. :3

I'm very happy to have put a smile on your face, and also I'm very JEALOUS that you were writing this in such cool places!!! <--- jealousy heehee ♥

Psh~ You call it dumb, and yet it's awesome dumb that had me giggling my head off for hours. Srsly, seeing Jin's Facebook profile on the ER website had me cracking up and possessed me to tweet, "OMG JIN'S FRIENDS WITH DAVE FROM AUTOZONE ON FACEBOOK, LOLOLOL, DYING FOREVER. <3 #extendedrecess" No, I didn't go back in my tweet history to find that. 8D;

Ah, yay. 8D That's exactly what I was going for. Lol, actually, because I started writing this within a few weeks of getting to Japan, at first there was a huge disconnect between what I was writing about and what I'd experienced, so later, after going out and seeing more, I'd come back to what I'd written and just cringe, thinking, "Oh my god, no, everything about that is just wrong! Gaaah, *changechangechange*" ...In fact, there's still (at least) one huge, glaring error in there that I only realized a few days before I was scheduled to post, and the thought of fighting with LJ's formatting/character limits to make changes to multiple parts of the fic with so little time was just ( ... )

This fic is incredible. I've read it at least three times already and I just cannot express in words how much it made me feel, how lovely it was. Everything from the way their relationship developed to the nitty gritty little details of their actions, words, I seriously - I just, this fic is like the epitome of Akame to me, in AU verse. Jin the American stranger who actually does belong, is rooted in Japan in a way, and Kame the baseball player. :( There is so much about this universe that hits home with me, like people they totally could have been but didn't become in our universe.

I'm awfully incoherent today, I'm sorry :( this is a wonderful, gorgeous piece of work. So, so much love and many props for it. ♥♥♥

*sputter* Wow~ Your comment just floored me. .___.; I'm so glad you liked it so much, and...really, three times?! xD I thought I'd be lucky if people managed to get through it once considering how insanely long it is. ^^;

And...this fic is like the epitome of Akame to me, in AU verse. What. What. Oh my god. I...I don't even know what to say to that. I feel like I've read so many amazing realistic AU fics and I'm so critical of my own writing that I can't possibly believe you. But...if that's how you feel, then...klsdgjglsk thank you so much. I'll take your words to heart and use the self-confidence they give me towards my next project. x3 Because...being surrounded by so many amazing writers in this fandom, confidence isn't always something I have a lot of, as I'm sure my beta could tell you. xD;

So...guh. Just...thank you for reading it and taking the time to share such kind words. They put the biggest smile on my face, I can't even tell you~ x3

Yup~ x3 Because I'm a sap and I can't bring myself to write serious break-up fics or sad endings. D:

Thanks so much for reading and commenting~ <3
