Radieux is a terrible proof-reader! oAo scenotaphs July 25 2010, 01:55:18 UTC

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad to see that it's had the desired effect, because that was the exact impression I was hoping to convey.

For those lines: GOOD GRIEF. I can't believe I missed that out. This is testament to the fact that I really shouldn't be writing things in the middle of the night, and that I ought to work on proof-reading skills, haha. Thanks for pointing that out to me!

Thank you for your comments! Rest assured, I'll be haunting this comm for a long time to come.

I really like this. Especially because it's about the Organization and that might make me a little biased, but it's really good. And this:

...and pretending to listen to what Xehanort has to say.

How very Braig (I think) And very Xigbar. Also, I love your last few lines. It's so...appropriate. And I have much love for your title. Great job!

Thank you for your comment! (: And, oh boy, do I know all about Organisation bias. They're pretty much the only characters I feel I can pull off reasonably properly, which, in retrospect, is actually a rather sad realisation.

Braig is a wonderful character; the potential to incorporate him in some form or another is so great, because it's easy to imagine him snarking back at practically anyone and managing to completely diffuse the gravity of the situation.

Haha, I was hoping the title worked with the theme and, in particular, the end of the drabble. Once again, much thanks for reading and commenting!

I had to keep a dictionary.com tab open next to this drabble, because some words had me confuzzled.

Not a bad thing! Since this is written about a bunch of scientific people, the language definitely fit (and hey! expanded vocabulary for me! woot!)

I always think takes on the various organization members are interesting, this one particularly so. Great job! (and welcome to the comm ♥(

Eee! I'm sorry about that! I'm afraid I have the tendency to write in a horribly long-winded manner, which is not at all fitting for drabbles ><

But on the plus side, yay for extended vocab indeed x)

The Organisation is a...I'm not sure how to explain. But I feel that there is so much about them that is up to interpretation, and as a result, I love working with that, and trying to line up the pieces and make them 'fit', so to speak. Thanks for the review! Loving this comm so far~ (:
