:D that was a great little piece! :D i loved it!

poor everyone else understanding what river was trying to make jayne say though! bet it gave them all a nasty shock! :D

good choice on the Lord Byron! you a poetry lover? i am addicted to the written prose, even been known to write a stanza or too :]

love to see more rayne from you! *waits under your bed for more*

[an_ardent_rain]

Thanks so much for the comment! :) Yes, it is fairly cute - heh heh.

I loved the idea of River tricking Jayne into giving her a compliment, so this just... sort of came from that. Heh. Oh, yes I love poetry! Sonnets are my favorite form (I even wrote two Rayne ones! Heh heh.) and I love Frost, Keats, and Dickinson. Tons of others, too, but those are probably my favorites. Hee.

There shall definitely be more Rayne! Hee. I have a super busy school schedule, so writing fan-fiction is my release. Heh. I post everything here, though, and usually if I remember they get to rayne_shippers, too.

Anyway, thanks so much again! I always appreciate the feedback! :D

yay for sonnets! i so wanna read your rayne sonnets now!

i am a huge Keats girl myself, ooo, and Elizabeth Barret Browning. i love her :]

yay for rayne! you don't always get to cross-post? may i watch then?

are you writing for the upcoming kid!fic event?

[an_ardent_rain]

Hee. Well sonnets are fantastical - tee hee. I have mine on my fan-fiction account - it was for the July Challenge.

Ooh, I like Elizabeth Barret Browning, too! Muchly the awesome.

No, I usually try to cross-post, but sometimes I forget and sometimes it's not good enough or I know I'm not gonna update the story for a really long time. Feel free to watch! It would make me happy. :D Tee hee hee.

Oh, definitely definitely writing kid!fic. I have one fairy-tale idea and then a fun pregnant-River fic. Tee hee hee.

Loved this. i really like how you right Jayne, you get his flustered voice just right. and i like how graceful you make River. lovely fic. can't wait to read more. <3

[an_ardent_rain]

Thank you so much for the comment. Yay for flustered!Jayne. He's fun to mess with - hee hee.

Grace is always something that worms its way into my characterization of River, so I'm very glad this story idea lent itself to that idea so well. Hee. Glad you liked it! And there shall always be more Rayne. :)

Thanks again!

Very nice work. I love that poem but never thought to apply it to a fandom. It does describe River well.

[an_ardent_rain]

Thank you so much! I actually wasn't as happy with how this turned out, so it's nice to know it worked any way. Hee - I get a lot of my inspiration for stories from book, movies, poems and things, so it just... hit me that this particular poem might work. And yes, I like how it works for River.

Thanks so much for the comment! I really appreciate it. :)
