Holy damn! You blended all of those prompts into a seamless story like it was nothing. It would have taken me forever to do that, and it sure as hell wouldn't have turned out as awesome as this. Fantastic use of the prompts! Gah, my mind is still blown.

[xaritomene]

Wow, thank you! And man, I'm glad it felt seamless to you! I think I was way too close to it and sat there thinking "you idiot, this'll never work!" Thank you, hon.

Also, I'm sorry, I know you disabled comments for a reason, but I read your latest entry and I wanted to say how glad I am that you came through that so well and that all your hard work payed off. I'm only just getting to know you and I'm grateful for the chance.

*skulks off*

You're welcome! Reading is a pleasure (I wish I had more time for it).

No problem--I'm pretty grateful to be here today and meeting cool people like yourself. :)

;lqkjdf;lkadf;laksj YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS! ♥

It's just... so bleak, Alex without hope, but at the same time not really despairing or giving in.

AMAZING~~~

[xaritomene]

*cuddles* Aw, hon, you're way too good to me! :D Mmm, Alex has no hope left, but that's not the same as despair - I like that point! (Especially because I would never have managed to come up with it myself. *g*)

ILU.

EEP. This was not enough. I need more fic now, please.

Anyways, I loved how you merged these prompts into an entire mini story that was so desperate and dull, and then so perfect at the end.

*laughs* I'm afraid it's all there's likely to be, darlin'! I suck like that.

Thank you! It was intended to be - humdrum and boring, all the little, almost irritations of being held hostage like that. Poor Alex, I'm such a bastard to him...

Thanks for reading it, honey-bun! :D

[luna_shovegood]

I... Wow. It works so well.

Your ability to make it work is amazing.

It made me fear for Alex and smile. :D

I'm not sure what else to say, so, I'll sit here and stare at the fic. :)

[xaritomene]

*g* Thank you! I'm so glad it worked. I stared at it for so long I'd pretty much convinced myself they didn't work as a whole piece, you know?

Thank you so much for commenting! :D

You know, I'm a huge Alex Rider fan since the first book and AR fan fiction was kind of a nightmare for me because I don't want anyone to ruin the story.

But I've read a couple of yours and they are not that bad, but this was just awesome! I loved it so much!

We need to write a story together...

[xaritomene]

*g* Fanfic can be a bit of a pitfall, can't it? Like a movie adaptation of a favourite book (which in the case of Alex Rider was a horrible, horrible mistake...). I'm glad you enjoyed this fic of mine, thanks for commenting! ^_^ It's nice to see you in another fandom of mine!
