I've only read the first twenty so far, because I know that if I read them all at once I might just die because of it. XD (In a good way, obviously!)

Anyways, you know how much I always adore your style of writing and god knows that you understand this couple far better than I ever could. It just so feels like them, and I love reading it. Thanks for providing me with my regular Haruka/Michiru fix, ilu so much. ♥

Haha sorry it's so long! and it's a sentence challenge. Maybe next time I'll take a fifty-words challenge just for you?

hee, ilu too.

The commission of people with short attention spans from all over the world approves of that idea.

Haha it wouldn't be a very good drabble though, I'm pretty sure it would end up that some of the prompts are longer than my responses. Writing Fanfiction: Now more like word association games?

This is amazing. I feel tempted to make a comment to each prompt, but... God, there's FIFTY of them and they're all so amazing that it would take too long and too many words and I'd be so emptied of coherence afterwards that I'd never write again and neither of us want that, so...

I loved, loved, loved how you presented Haruka's and Michiru's relationship. Amazingly true to character, but also with so many subtleties that we're never given in canon that... it seems more canon than canon. That's really something.

Plus, you had little light moments mixed with the most horrible, but awesomely written emo-angst scenarios that... overall this had the feel of an entire novel rather than fifty little sentences. Good job.

And can I say that I especially loved the one where Michiru describes Haruka dancing (can't remember the prompt number, sorry) and 42 and 48. They were just... spot-on perfection. The rest as well, but these three. Wow. Just wow.

...

thank you so much for this. You know how much your approval means to me. And I'd love to hear your thoughts on all fifty prompts, but I agree that perhaps it is not the most realistic. Aw, well. I'll assume you really like them, okay? Aren't I humble? :P

I'm glad that got across - there were a few pieces where I was digging for the beneath-the-surface of canon, and I am glad you can see it. Also, I think I now qualify as writing almost as much angst as you, haha. I do try, though, to make clear that it's not angst for the sake of angst but just because it's damn tragic - not that emo, from Haruka in particular, isn't just really damn pretty.

I really like 42 as well. I'm not 100% happy with it because in my mind the image is so so vivid and - i can show you if you want, I had a looong discussion with another friend about one particular word, and it's still not exactly right - but overall, I like the feeling it creates, so i'm really glad you like it too.

Thanks. <33

This is really very very beautiful. There's always something about the way you write, and in particular, the way these are written that just really fits so well with this pair.

To be honest, my favorite fanfics and my favorite writings are the ones that make me feel less like I'm reading something someone has written, and more like I've opened a window that allows me a brief glimpse into characters lives. And you manage that amazingly well. I can really see them in this.
Which is why this is going to be bookmarked and added to my 'favorite fics' collection. I wish I had the skill to illustrate these scenes with images as well as you do with words.

in addition to that.... I think I would do just about anything to see Haruka and Michiru play whack-a-mole in full on watercolour, complete with random rose petals and "oolululu" music xD

Awww. Thank you so much! Feel free to illustrate these, I'm sure it'll be really brilliant. I think the thing with one-sentence fics is that you can't really establish a completely new scenario in one single sentence, so it's very neat that you thought it was more of a glimpse-in-the-life of. Yay!

I don't know how this whole whack-a-mole idea came about, but now that I've written it I must admit I too have trouble getting it out of my head. Heh. I want to draw this.
