That was really disturbing. And good.

I put too much thought into that. My brain needs some chocolate and hugs now.

I'm really glad that the panic-attacking resonated for you, it's the kind of thing I was going for.

Please feel free to link to it, that's fine with me! :)

God, so painful and disturbing, hard to read, just as it should be with Gina. But lyrically so, with these moments that seem to open things up wide--not beautiful, maybe, but real, if that makes sense? I like the fragmented feel to this but the fact that it's also got a logic to it, at least to her train of associations.

That last section... wow.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I hate to be like "I'm glad it was painful" but you know what I mean. I appreciate the comment on the fragments, because I'm always worried when I write like this - if it's disjointed-but-logical enough.

I can tell you spent a lot of time thinking about Gina's point of view. I really like the places you went with her. Beautiful and painful. Thanks for the good writing.

Wow. Just, wow. I've admired your work for a while (pre-lj account :D), but damn your so brilliant!

This was so gut-wrenchingly awesome. Gina is a character I've always wished we could have seen more from after the whole 'Escape from Pegasus' and this was perfect!

Fierce!! :D
