Ooo, I like it. Winry is just so much older and more cynical here, and you managed to touch on some of the reason without spelling it all out at once. I'm very intrigued, and very curious to know more. It pains me a little to see Winry so beaten down by life and love, but I'm also interested by this change in her. I'll be waiting for more (in between writing for Fire and Ice and Divergence and all that)!

By the way, you may want to disable f-lock on this post so that the links back to it work properly. ^_^

*dies!!!!* I was trying to avoid spamming the f-list of my non-anime-loving LJ friend! *agonizing* I put made a filter for the anime fans and anime/manga communities, and the entry is open to everyone on the filter. Why can't the people on the comms see it?! WHY?!

*faceslap*

Whew. Okay. Well, I've fixed it now so that's over and done with.

I hate ending sentences with prepositions. Blah.

Aaaanyway...on to that very nice concrit. ^__^

The song, "Konstantine," is so unbelievably depressing - and of course I'm a slave to angst. Unfortunately, Winry's the one who has to be depressed, not me. Poor girl. :P I remember as I was writing ch. 3, I looked back on ch. 1 and noticed the not-spelled-out thing, so I tried to keep that going.

Oh yes! I just remembered. About Fire and Ice - do you need any help? (*thinking about recent comm activity*) As you may know I am a flop with deadlines, but since it's summer now I would be glad to help (without too much fear of floppiness)!

Anyway, thanks again for the review! (Long post!)

[lyricnonsense]

Thanks for the offer! So far I've had "Fire and Ice" under control, but if something comes up (say, my house floods, which is possible given the freakish weather), I'll tap you to run some damage control.

I also now have prompts to write with. Yay!

Well, well, well ... does the (re)appearance of this chapter mean what I think it means? In which case, [throws hat into the air and cheers]!

[terracottabones]

Yes, well, it took me the entire school year to write what's coming. Heh. Fun school year. Still, now I have a lot to post!

*pounces*

THIS. Oh, yes, this. You already know how I feel about this story but I'll reiterate -

OooOOOOoOOOOoOoo.

*bright eyes*

There is more coming? Yes? /hopeful

[terracottabones]

Well...*blushes*...you got me. I've been a HORRIBLE person all year, and kept saying, "Oh, in three weeks...in a month...oh, it's almost done..." But I figure I should actually do something about that now.

(And, fortunately, having a whole year to write has given me quite a lot to post. Yay!)

P.S. Did you see what I did to my journal? *isproud* I spent a few hours fixing everything up cuz I knew I'd be sending comms over to read the story...and I had to have a pretty journal for the occasion.

[evil_little_dog]

Oh, I LOVE it. I was gonna comment on it earlier because it's just so very, very cool.

[terracottabones]

Haha. Me, fishing much? No way.

Anyway, thankyou. (Perhaps I'll stick to vegetables for a while. Fish = mercury.)

[kashicat]

So this is the beginning of a larger story? (Or series of stories?) I'm really looking forward to more, then!

[terracottabones]

Yep! Chapter 2 will follow next week, then chapter 3 after that. (I might get impatient and post sooner though.) More chapters will come after that. Glad you liked it!

[vicious_lullaby]

Oh, goodness. This is beautiful. Heart-wrenchingly so.

I adore this take on Winry -- it's so different, but it still somehow fits. And your writing itself is lovely. ♥

I hope you'll write more. ^_^;

[terracottabones]

Why thank you. ^__^
