Oh, lor', I was reading this last night at some godforsaken hour and pre much scrolled past your illustration all "hokay here's an Ed"

then I reread today and it's like holy mother of detail here @_@

LAN FAN

\o/ Thank you! That cityscape ended up taking me ages. XD

I love Ran Fan! (And still spell her name the way fandom spelled it in 2009, forgive me)

LOL, I still can't figure out the spelling of the Rockbells and Elrics' hometown >_>

Oh, I know! Resembool? Rizenbul? I've even seen Reisenburg. Who knows?

Nothing will better the Viz translators writing Xerxes as Selkcess, though. Crack a book, guys.

For some reason your fic makes me more literally vocal than most writers'. Like, even when I find stories funny, I seldom laugh out loud; I'm a very internal reader. But something about the pace of your prose catches me right up, so I whimpered a little sympathy noise when Roy was thinking about loving Ed, and actually hissed, "Yes!" when Ran Fan revealed herself.

I cannot wait to see what you do with Selim, omg. Moooorre! *bangs spoon*

Awww, thank you! I go through phases with my prose, and sometimes find it hard to balance manoeuvring through a complex plot and turning a good sentence. So that's nice to hear! \o/

Ch. 4 is done, but I'm halfway through illustrating it.
