I like it.

Is the fact that you wrote in present tense? You did a good job of that, if that's what you're worried about.

[elleian]

Thank you :)

It's partly the fact that I wrote in the present, and partly that I've used much less description of action than I normally do. I'm not used to my writing beings so... sparse, I guess. I'm glad that you think I did it well!

[anansay]

"less description"... that was going to be my next assumption in the "writing different" thing.

Some stories don't require much description... Sometimes it actually gets in the way of the actual story. You did this well--you didn't skip over anything that was needed.

*thumbs up*

Thank you for the confidence booster ;) I agree, less can be more and I've read some brilliant fics that feature very little description. I think I'm just not used to reading my own writing with so little extra words! :)

[elleian]

*blush* Aww, thank you! ♥

It's partly because I wrote it in present tense when all my writing is normally done in the past tense, and partly because it was much less descriptive than my norm.

Thank you for such a lovely comment! :)

I'll have to check those out. I have to admit that I find myself doing that at times with fanart that I've seen; I never visualise any actual people such as Tom Felton or Boyd Holbrook.

I'm glad that you liked it! :)

This was lovely. It reminded me a little of Olivia Lupin's style of writing, which I adore. You packed a lot of feeling in it, without needing the description. I'd love to see more of this style, although I've enjoyed everything of yours that I've read, so maybe it's not the style so much as the talent of the writer.

Had to add that I also looked at lillithium's artwork before reading this, and they did go nicely together. The setting was completely different, but the emotion behind them complemented each other, and I was seeing her Harry and Draco as I read.

*huge blush* Do you know how flattered I am?! :) I'm glad that you liked this! Sometimes I get the feeling that my writing can be a bit clunky and over laboured, so I'm still getting used to this style. I felt that I left a lot unsaid in this piece, whereas I normally end up describing everything from each slight movement the character makes to a ton of background info. I think I will try a few more pieces in this style, although I don't think I could work a longer fic using it.

I just had a quick browse over at lillithium's journal and I can totally see her renditions of Harry and Draco when I reread the fic.

Thank you for such a nice comment! :)
