I stumbled upon this accidentally, so I'm not familiar with the fandom at all, but I just wanted to say that you write beautifully.

Dude!

This was awesome. Seriously. Your work is just like...blows my mind how awesome this is.

In your prologue, someone compared you to Steinbeck. I've never had to read him, and if he writes like this, I'm in for a treat. Imma go to the store and buy a book of his tomorrow! :D Any suggestions?

If there's anything I love more than a story that brings audiences into the world with engaging and enthralling descriptions, its a realistic dialog, complete with phonetic misspellings and everything.

You. Rock.

T-thank you so much!! >//////////<

Steinbeck is the man. If I were you, I'd go for The Grapes of Wrath, since it was kind of what inspired this fic. If not that, then Cannery Row is a bit shorter but paaacked with amazing characters. Any Steinbeck is great, really, you can't go wrong XD /fangirl rant

Aww, I'm so glad you liked that! I do work hard to make it authentic XD

*hugs you madly* Thank you so much <3

Wow, oh wow! Your descriptions are some of the best I've ever read! They may be quite lengthy, but they're very captivating all the same. A nice balance, I must say!
