this is a wonderful comment; thank you so much for taking the time to leave me such detailed feedback! the concrit form is just for people who want to remain anonymous :)

i'll go back and take care of those mistakes whoops! i'm sorry i didn't catch them earlier. aha, i'm really glad you caught the colour line, because i built this entire fic over that line. this was basically a lot of fun to write because i got to explore fic tropes as well as fandom ones, and it was a really good exercise for me to pay conscious attention to these things, like showing and not telling (though it was...well, really literal). you laughed at that line = my job, done!

i liked that you brought up literary fiction, because i don't like reading stories that are ambiguous. i like my plots straightforward, but not obvious, and i try to incorporate everything i like reading into what i write. this is probably where atonement comes in, because it's a brilliant book - a perfect example of prose and plot. you won't regret reading it haha. this is also where how i set my settings come in: i don't like reading about exact places. i like making it up in my mind, and i think because of this, i project it in my writing. it's different to human emotions, because with human emotions i need the reader to know exactly what i'm getting at but with settings, there's more leeway? i will take this into account though, because i know i definitely could work on my descriptive settings!

thank you again for this entire comment. i really appreciate it ♥

i'd love to discuss the novel with you if you'd like, once you're done reading it :) the movie adaptation is stellar as well; although i'd recommend watching it after reading!

ah yes, now that you've expanded on it, i understand what you're putting across: to add personality to the bare bones of descriptive settings. i'll be keeping this in mind for the next time i write.

but i can't promise i'll be able to write so much all the time
haha omg please don't feel obliged to do so! i'm happy enough whenever someone leaves a comment, no matter the length, and something like this is much more than i could ask for. these are the little extras \o/
