By Lady Addiction

Thanks to all the reviewers who commented and thanks especially to suvius who was so informative and helpful regarding MS. As always, I couldn’t have written this without the help and support of harumi, who patiently helps me with ideas and all my angsts regarding this story, and the Lord, who constantly ( Read more... )

OMG!!!!
i know i'm not suppose to do that here ... but...but... you updated :))

The setup you done for this fic is rather good... i loved how Hikaru is going to met "Sai" and finally "Akira" the storyline is really best described in this phase... "All roads leads to Rome". Will be waiting for the next chapter :)

Glad you liked it!

A very interesting set-up you have going here. I'm curious how this will evolve, especially what it means for Hikaru's relationships with other characters.

I'm hoping I'll be able to keep it interesting! This fic has become either my leviathan or the millstone around my neck. ^_^;;

You want me to post here or there? Oh well. Either way I'm posting here.

You can't stop me anyway. ^_^

Most of my comments regarding your chapters you've read already. However, I think my favorite part was the way you built up to Hikaru's meeting with Sai, how to the people on the outside, this was a terrifying moment. Mitsuko's reaction was very poignant. I loved the choice of words in that part.

Again, you know how I feel about this fic, so I will only repeat that I love what you're doing with this story, and encourage you to come to me for any questions. ^_^

Go Lady! Go!

I'll try to keep going but it seems like everywhere I turn there's issues regarding this fic...

I love the changes you made to the chapter. It keeps getting better every time I read it! Keep up the great work!

Thanks! Your help is so much appreciated! There's one idea you mentioned that I really liked but I won't talk about it here as it'll be a spoiler for others! =p

And on with the enumeration of noteworthy parts. Because I've used up my store of transitions for the day, working on my own fic.

1. Use of Hiroshi's POV. I just love how you use the lesser-known characters as narrators. It gives them more dimension - and what's remarkable is that you're able to characterize them believably, even when they have so little air time in the canon. The first few paragraphs are exceptional. By highlighting the differences between Masao and Hiroshi's reactions, you give Hiroshi a greater role in Hikaru's recovery.
2. Hiroshi reading weekly manga. It sounds just like what a caring grandfather would do for his favorite grandson. And you even made him a fixture in the children's ward!
3. Using Hikaru's condition as the reason for him to start learning Go. Well... I like this scenario better than what happened in the canon, in any case. It sounds nobler... something that could act as Hikaru's lifeline.
4. "I believe he will pull through", rather. :P ( ... )
