Thank you so much! I was (er, still am) pretty apprehensive about that whole section because, yeah, I don't write sex because I can't write sex and to even address it relatively abstractly makes me feel really awkward -- so I'm glad something about it worked?

i hate not having actual meaningful, articulate, insightful comments to make because i feel like whenever i read a really astounding, excellent piece of fiction everything i want to say turns into a bunch of sddsfkf. and if i were reading my comments as the actual writer in question, i'd be like what the hell do i even say to that. but. it's 9am and i have been up all night/morning so i have the excuse that i am incoherent and braindead anyway. or something. anyway, i like second person narrative a lot, it's rarely used these days, and you are basically the writer that i wish i was and i have no words for this other than i keep starting to want to maybe write again, and then i get scared away because i read things like this and know i will never be anywhere near that level. and that WAS meant as a compliment. i just need sleep. and this comment is a rambling mess.

Your comments always leave me kind of speechless so I'm just going to say thank you again, first of all, but that's by no means all I want to say in response. I really hope I don't speak for just myself when I say that visceral reactions like yours are the ones that bring the authors to their knees -- so, you know, seriously: thank you. It means more than you might think.

That being said, please write. Please don't be scared, please don't say things like "never be anywhere near that level", please please please. I believe that we've all been there, taken our neurotic hiatuses and had our writers' blocks, and I still look at other people's writing and think, "damn, I wish I could do that." Which, you know, maybe I never would be able to do that, but maybe other people won't be able to do what I can either, you know? So yeah. Sorry -- here: a rambling mess in return.

This is, um, wow. Just sort of. Amazing. ♥

Seriously, I'm not sure quite what to think. Your POV is just so beautiful written and gorgeous and ropes everyone in and, gah, it's hard to absorb it all. I love your writing style, though. The way you write it incredible.

I agree with the person who said that you might want to use more paragraph breaks. It did make me rush through a little bit, and I want to be able to take it all in. :)

[conditionelle]

Thank you so much! And in the future I will definitely keep the paragraph spacing thing in mind -- sorry about that.
