Thanks so much for the very kind words, Nym :) I always feel so encouraged and humbled by your feedback.
I've been meaning to message you - I should have the opportunity to read your B5 musings next week and am very much looking forward to them. I'm up to episode 11 myself, and while I'm not loving it yet, I'm more positive about it at this stage than I was about shows like DS9, Fringe, and even Farscape, so that bodes well :)
I look forward to sharing some B5 impressions with you! Season 1 can be appreciated only in retrospect, because it contains so many seeds of the future. By pure chance, when it aired here for the first time, the network choose to skip it entirely, so I started watching when it was already in the thick of events. So I understand how you might not be thrilled about it, but I can promise you that if you keep up... the faith :-) it will be a rewarding journey. See on the rewatch, then!
I haven't resd fic in ages so this was a lovely opportunity to read some. Also it's short enough to not make me feel super guilty for reading stuff when I should be programming ;)
Anyway this is a lovely story. Few words but lots of content. I just love the way you play with words but in a completely non-pretentious way. My favorite is this sentence: Strength when she looked in the mirror and her mother looked back, restraint when she would have given anything for a little pill, a little blood, to signal the end of this intolerable limbo.
Just lovely!
Good god it's been so long that I don't even seem to know how to comment on fics anymore o_O so sorry if this is a bit vague. It's an impressive short story anyway and makes me wish I could still write!
(Also omg, I find it oddly eerie yet really flattering that you guys are both using that same Aeryn icon by me :P I'll just join the b&w fest, but with another icon!)
Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I appreciate it, and thought your feedback was quite specific (and very kind ;) I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
I'm sorry to hear you're not writing anymore - I quite liked the pieces I have read. But maybe it's just a dry spell, while all your creative genius is focused on your gorgeous graphics ;)
Oh thanks livejournal for sending a notification of this comment... oh wait. -.-
Anyway luckily I happened to see it now :) I'm glad if my fb was sufficient, I just don't know, I feel so out of touch with the whole fic scene. And I'm glad you liked the ones you read from me, but I do think I'm way better at icons than at fics. I love coming up with plots, but it isn't easy to put them into words, especially in English, everything that might have been cool about the original gets lost and there's no point really :/ But maybe you're right, maybe it will start inspiring me one day again. I hope so! :)
Third time reading it and every time I find a new turn of phrase or nuance that I missed the first couple of times that makes me love it even more. It may be short but it is a true gem! Good to see it here on LJ too! :)

Lovely, lovely story: you have a unique way of turning words into feelings and crafting multi-layered images...
And a *hell yeah!* to v_dog for encouraging you ;-)
