The twins are dead?! NOOOOOOOO. The way you described Miranda's pain was just heartbreaking. I wanted to literally somehow climb into the story so that I could give her a hug...

And the way you write Lily and Doug...So spot on. Andy, too, of course. And prickly, snobbish Brit. LOL.

The setup of this fic is truly titillating. Can't wait to read more :)

D: D: D:

I'm sorry! It hurts me a lot, too. There's still a twist to that part of story, which will be revealed in chapter 3 or so, but I personally think that makes it even worse. D: Don't want to give anything away though, so you'll just have to read it then ^_^;

And the only way I could write this, was knowing that it's a Mirandy story, and that Andy would be there to hug Miranda... ^_^

I think part of the reason of why I keep everyone mostly in character, is that I just love them all so much, and I tend to write a plot around them and the way they already are. ^_^

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment! :D

I like the character development so far; just enough of the familiar to recognize our ‘Runway’ fabulous-four yet plenty of room to take them in any direction you choose.

Can’t wait to read more; your writing is a special treat to savor! Thank you!

[writtensword]

Thank you!

I'm really glad you enjoy my writing! I'm still a beginner so I'm trying out different things. ^_^ I'm happy to hear that people like it! :D

I like the phrase "the RUNWAY fabulous four". There's a comic-book-fan plot bunny staring at me from the corner of my office... o_O

I really like your writing style, and am so excited to see where you take us! ^^

This AU world is pretty awesome, especially because I don't know anything about choir, so it's like a peek into that world xD

Omg, the twins!! :( that is certainly a twist you don't see everyday.

I love how the characters are still so...them xD Very creative. Keep up the great work!

[writtensword]

Aw, thank you! ^_^

Well, I don't know much about choirs either... I mostly just look up stuff, so I'm sure I will still get one thing or another wrong. At least I know a bit about music, and music theory so that helps. ^_^

Yeah, the twins... it took me several weeks to have the guts to put this in, the idea came to me already when I read the prompt. Going through with it, is another story, though. I love the twins! :3

I'll have to write a more twin-centered story in the future, to make up for it...

Thank you for reading!! :D

A tragic brilliant beginning! As always, I look forward to reading more from you.

[writtensword]

Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it despite the drama! ^_^

I hope to have more soon! :)

WOW! Where have you been hiding? Your writing is wonderful. You definately have a gift for story telling. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this story takes us.
BRAVA!!

[writtensword]

Thank you!! x3

I'm glad to hear that! I really just want to share what goes on in my head, so I'm happy that it comes across when I put it into words! ^_^

It's kind of weird, I'm nearly thirty and I've never really thought about writing before. I've always tried to express myself through other art forms, but for some reason it feels as if writing goes much easier, and I have so many more possibilities, that for example with painting. I can spend a few hours fully describing a scene as I see it in my head, when it would take me weeks to put that in oils...

All the lovely feedback here made me think about taking a CW course and maybe start writing some original stuff. ^_^; I'll see... for now, I'm fully invested in Mirandy... :)
