wow. just wow. a little sad and a little hurtful and genderfucked and hopeful.

He buries his face in her damp, black hair. "You better be worth it," he whispers. He smells apples.

for some reason i really like that line. one of a lot of lines i like.

i wonder what happened to babystar though.

Oh, thanks! I'm really glad you like it. This is like.... the first original story I've ever finished on my own (without co-writer or extra help and stuff), so I was really nervous about it. :)

As for babystar-- yeah, I wonder as well. I'm tempted to either do a sequel or find some way to expand on this world somewhat.

lol well i'd be super psyched if you did!

and i've never actually finished an original story either. so i'm envious ;]

Supposed editorial neutrality aside, I thought your story was awesome. XD (Francesca Lia Block references! Meet cyberpunk! Meet genderfuck!)

I'd love to see a sequel. XD

[diamond_dazzler]

Thanks! I love making references to things-- usually music or media -- but... Who's Francesca Lia Block? XD And she does stuff like this?

Ahah. I'm still debating between a novella version or a sequel-sequel.

Are you still doing the genderbending theme? Cos, if you are... I got ideas ideas!

[lacewood]

Well, not exactly. XD Francesca Lia Block is a writer, and I thought you'd referenced her because she has a series of books where a character is LITERALLY called Secret Agent Lover Man. Also, BabyStar is totally a name I could see her coming up with. XD

We're definitely still doing the genderbending/crossdress theme, but it'll probably be next year, since we have the other themes for this year pretty settled. XD; (I have more ideas for crossdressing than I have for... all the other themes together orz I'm so sad)
