I can't even find words for how happy I am that you found so much to connect to in this. x) As I was telling eltea, "Micah is like me if I was an emo boy with an awesome name." XD

I've had a lot of trouble figuring out what that "in" is supposed to mean -- if we're even supposed to know...? O_o

*hugs you forever* ^^

Yeah, it's weird how that is. And it's not a one-way street in any way. :/ And I think being love-full of someone is the big part, and the important part, and the really beautiful part. :)

Lines are overrated anyway.

I use it a lot but mean it rarely. It's very easy for me to say in a love-you way, and very difficult for me to say in an in-love-with-you way, I think. Because... maybe partly because it is so difficult to make that distinction, when it's supposedly such a drastic difference. I mean, is in-love supposed to be "just"-love with something else on top? Or is it a different kind of love entirely? And who the hell am I to make a declaration claiming to understand what I feel in the first place? XD

*glomps for good measure* ^^

Man, I think this is the best thing you've written to date. At least it's the best thing of yours I've read. I freaking loved this. It actually reminded me of my "Pape and Danforth" stuff, which I hope you don't mind. It's the atmosphere and dialogue. Your descriptions are far more eloquent. :)

And let me say that this: He loves Todd. Or he’s in love with him. Made me go \o/ big time. :) I know, I'm terrible for looking for slash all over the place, but the story felt like it was leading up to that sentence from just about when Todd got Micah a bag for his shoes. In other words, that was an expected and satisfying conclusion. Well done.

(On a totally different topic, what I don't love, I'm afraid, is how teeny-tiny the font is for leaving comments. It's really hard for me to read what I'm typing.)

[tierfal]

Oh, you are slaying me with kindness! XD It just makes me so, so crazily happy when the ones that have the most bits and pieces of me are well-received. :) (I should go check out "Pape and Danforth," shouldn't I?? ^^)

HA! ...er, I mean, slash is not everywhere. In fact, it's nowhere. Nowhere at all. Clearly. Um. :P These are not the Microsoft Word documents you're looking for. XD

(Damn, you too? D: jenwryn was mentioning that to me, but it looks fine on my computer, and I'm not sure how to fix it... I'll definitely poke around the options and see if I can figure anything out. Thanks for letting me know!)

You don't read my brigits_flame entries?

I didn't know that, and to be honest it makes me sad. I look forward to your contributions to the contest every round and I thought that I was able to share my fiction with you in return.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend! Sadly, I'm not a particularly active part of the comm -- I have something of a full-time life, and using my time to write for myself is really the only thing that keeps me together. The pieces for B_F have kind of become my way of unpacking the week at some ungodly hour Thursday night, but I honestly don't have time to give all the entries the attention they deserve. When I get a chance, I try to read a couple thoroughly and leave thoughtful comments, but it's just not something I can commit to doing every time. :(

[jamais_toujours]

Aww, I loved this. The relationship Micah has with Todd is so sweet and special. Good luck this week :).

[tierfal]

Thank you! :) That's exactly how I hoped it would come off! ^^

[taste_is_sweet]

Hey again.

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you weren't voted to move on, and also really, really surprised. In my humble opinion this was the best entry this week. I don't think I have the same tastes as most of the other brigets_flamers.

Good luck in March, if you're participating. :)

[tierfal]

Hi! :)

Aww, thank you. x) These things come and go -- sometimes I'm shocked at what gets through, and sometimes I'm quite unsurprised. XD Thanks very much, though, and I'm so glad you liked it. :)

Still deciding -- good luck to you!! ^^

Re: Editing

[tierfal]

Hi! :D And oh, my, thank you! ^^; I had a good time with this one. :)

I'm really glad you liked the integration of the backstory parts, since I wasn't quite sure how well I'd jammed those in there. XD

And oh, yes, I am a victim of my endless sentences! XD Excellent point; thank you. XD

Aww, shucks. x) I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
