I haven't resd fic in ages so this was a lovely opportunity to read some. Also it's short enough to not make me feel super guilty for reading stuff when I should be programming ;)
Anyway this is a lovely story. Few words but lots of content. I just love the way you play with words but in a completely non-pretentious way. My favorite is this sentence: Strength when she looked in the mirror and her mother looked back, restraint when she would have given anything for a little pill, a little blood, to signal the end of this intolerable limbo.
Just lovely!
Good god it's been so long that I don't even seem to know how to comment on fics anymore o_O so sorry if this is a bit vague. It's an impressive short story anyway and makes me wish I could still write!
(Also omg, I find it oddly eerie yet really flattering that you guys are both using that same Aeryn icon by me :P I'll just join the b&w fest, but with another icon!)
Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I appreciate it, and thought your feedback was quite specific (and very kind ;) I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
I'm sorry to hear you're not writing anymore - I quite liked the pieces I have read. But maybe it's just a dry spell, while all your creative genius is focused on your gorgeous graphics ;)
Oh thanks livejournal for sending a notification of this comment... oh wait. -.-
Anyway luckily I happened to see it now :) I'm glad if my fb was sufficient, I just don't know, I feel so out of touch with the whole fic scene. And I'm glad you liked the ones you read from me, but I do think I'm way better at icons than at fics. I love coming up with plots, but it isn't easy to put them into words, especially in English, everything that might have been cool about the original gets lost and there's no point really :/ But maybe you're right, maybe it will start inspiring me one day again. I hope so! :)

They've been terrible lately, haven't they? I get some notifications, and other comments I only see when I visit my inbox.

ANY feedback is sufficient. Truly, just a "I liked this" or "good story" makes my day. Any further level of detail is fantastic, and makes me smile forever =D But just knowing people are reading it and enjoying it is enough, and very much appreciated.
I do think your greatest creative strength (that I've seen) is in icons - you're a genius! - but I still thought your stories were good, and there can never been too many Farscape fanfics ;) So if you're ever moved to write anything else, I'll be waiting to read it :)
With the translation problem, maybe try a new story, and write it in English? You're so fluent in comments, it might be worth a try. No need to post and share if you're not comfortable with it, but it could be a good way to practice.
