This is probably the most self-conscious I've ever been about a fic. I originally wrote this in response to the April Contest at

I have to tell you babe; this is the best thing I have read in months! It was well worth the wait. I thought at the beginning that you would go over board with your artistic desciptions- of well, everything. You didn't though; and it was a beatiful, beautiful thing.

Whoo! Such wonderful compliments, bb. Thank you.

I'm glad you didn't think I went overboard with the flowery language, because I was afraid at times that I might have (particularly with section 6, which I still feel like I need to tone down :S).

You know this fic was written in part because of you too. All that rambling about Spencer had to be turned into fic. You left me no choice >.<

This was gorgeous. And circular! ahaha

First off, the way that you stylized this is simply excellent. It's smooth, which I would imagine is hard to accomplish with this type of time-altering fic.
The powerful way that you captured their friendship in a fic that isn't that long is very impressive. Every emotion, action, and thought is perfectly described.
The end is wonderful too, it wraps things up just perfectly, and not only because of the circularity hehe

Bravo m'dear. BRAVO.

Haha. Circular, yes! Actually it was never intended to be so circular. Originally, I'd planned to leave it after section 5, but it felt so unfinished and open-ended that I knew I had to add a final bit of closure.

I'm glad you thought I captured their friendship well. It was a balancing act because they do have such a long history together and probably have a certain easy dynamic after all these years, but it's recently been upset and things aren't precisely normal. They're a little unsure of each other still. I don't know if any of that came across the way I wanted to, but I guess it doesn't matter so long as you liked it >.<

Thank you, babe. You're support means a lot to me.

One of the best pieces of fanfic I've ever read. I'm not just trying to flatter; believe it or not, I actually went and checked my saved fanfics file to see if this statement was really accurate, and yes, it is.

Gosh. Colour me flattered. One of the best pieces of fanfic you've ever read? That's a lofty compliment that left me rather speechless for a long time. And I still can't think of much to say in response other than thank you so much. This wasn't the simplest thing I've ever written and it means a lot to me that my hard work is enjoyed so much by so many.

Perfect. <3

-offers to pay your next dry cleaning bill because she's heard 'fangirl' is pretty tough to get out with conventional stain remover-
