This is really quite amazing. I'm not usually a fan of first person narrative, but this was spot on. Well-written and well described, and perfect tone of voice for all of the characters. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you very much! I prefer third person to first person too, if I can help it, but I often find in stories where there's a lot of introspection and not much action that it becomes easier to write in first. It's whatever goes with the tone, I suppose, and I'm really happy you enjoyed this story.

You're welcome. I agree with what you said though, but I suck at first person narrative! Either way, fantastic piece, a very great read.

Wow, that's a quick reply! Now I feel bad for taking three days to get round to this. While we're here, can I just compliment you on your username? I adore Black Canary (and Ollie, the loudmouthed fool. Oh, now I'm thinking, him and Hawkeye would get on horribly well... *makes note*).

I'm actually sitting at my laptop right now. XD And my gmail alerts me when I've got a new reply to a comment. LOL. :) I'm good like that. But don't worry about taking a while to respond, I realize not everyone has the time to sit around all the time. :D

I'm glad you like my username! I also adore Black Canary and Ollie. And yeah, I can see them being friends. -also makes a note-.

It's also not often I find people who like comics and M*A*S*H... so I think I ought to friend you! :D

[skew_whiff]

Ah, I turned off alerts because I got fed up of clearing out my inbox, and that makes me a tad forgetful.

Thanks for the friending! I should warn you, I don't actually talk about comics and M*A*S*H that much on my journal - but then again, that's partially because most of my f-list don't have those interests, so obviously something should be done to rectify that. And looking at your journal, I just saw that you wrote Owen Mercer/Len Snart, which is possibly my favourite so-wrong-it's-right pairing, so I'm totally friending you back.

[dinahqueen]

Haha... I honestly am surprised that people like that pairing, I thought I was being insane. :) And yes, definitely rectify that, M*A*S*H and comics are awesome.

Also, I died reading the entry of "Jay Garrick's Hat" in your interests section-- but I totally agree. :D

[skew_whiff]

Thing is, M*A*S*H fandom is tiny, and comics... I don't even know where to start! Both with finding comms and getting my head round canon enough to feel comfy writing fics. I keep meaning to read jsa_allstars more, mind you, I like that comm.

I can't believe I'm the only person on LJ with 'Jay Garrick's Hat' listed as an interest. I love that damn hat, in all its incredible impracticality.

[dinahqueen]

True, the M*A*S*H fandom is relatively small... and comics can be hard to fathom. Especially current canon which is just... argh! JSA recs, I can give you though. Geoff Johns' run on Justice Society of America vol 3.

Actually, if you don't care much about current DC canon, I can give you a ton of recommendations. ^_^

And yeah, that's a grievous affront, no one else having it listed. It's surely a thing of absolute awesome. :D
