I like.

The ending feels... sudden? Much more first chapter, than a full story. I very much want to be able to turn over a page and carry on reading.

What was cinnamon slang for?!

[foreverdirt]

Yay! Glad you like, and very glad it makes you want to be able to carry on reading. I know what you mean about it being sudden, though - it's a bit unfair on the reader.

What was cinnamon slang for?!

Heh, heh, heh.

[vampire_kitten]

Heh, heh, heh.

Evil.

But... I'm going to be wondering about that all day now *looks all pleading and appealing*

[foreverdirt]

Mmm, bleeding and appe- Sorry, I mean, mmmm, pleading and appealing Amy...

It means sheep-shagger, because of an urban legend about a chef.

[tronella]

I like it :)

[foreverdirt]

Yay! Thank you!

[bravecows]

What? That's it? I object! This is me, running around and objecting!

*objects loudly*

I like Steve an' Jack an' Ytar's name and I want to know what happens next and what happened before and. LOTS OF THINGS. Write more! Please please please.

[foreverdirt]

If it helps, I know what happens next and before. (Also, yay! for your wanting to know what happened before - I'm very fond of how they get to where they are now.)

Thank you so much for the encouragement! And I will write more, honest.

very much like part of a book you want to read the rest of. but very neat! well done

[foreverdirt]

*grins* Very glad you want to read the rest of it. Thank you!

[ephemera_tales]

very very cool - gorgious and concrete and just enough world to make the characters make sense, and more please *cute eyes* - well - more, eventually? It's a great scene, and it is complete unto itself, but it makes me want the longer version becuase I want *more*...

I really like the group relationships and the very matter-of-factness about their daily lives - I get the feeling that while they're involved in Important Political Stuff, they also have to do laundry and buy loo roll, and that's a good thing, in my book.

"I ordered you some coffee. I thought I'd drink it for you."

"Bastard," says Steve, but happily.

I really like what you show us of their relationship - want more. meep.

[foreverdirt]

Ee! *bounces!* I'm so glad they came across as real people with loo-roll-buying habits and such - they are in my head, but I was worried I wouldn't be able to get that across well enough.

It makes me squee that you want to read more. Hopefully there will be soon, as this challenge really kickstarted my writerly juices. *grins* Thank you!
