Don't hold anything back!

Honestly, your writing is BEAUTIFUL and I love your style very very much ♥

You don't write things out in details but instead, you leave it up to the reader's imagination. It's very interesting as it totally gives us a broader perspective to look from. If everything's a given, it's like, "I didn't like this THAT much cause xxx happened." But in your stories, you don't write out what happens :X Though this can be frustrating (cause I want to know what the author thinks sometimes!) >.< But then again, you probably wanted us to think (or something?) XD

I'm trying to find a 'bad' story you've written but there's nothing really! ^_^ I love reading your stories and it helps improve my English by A LOT! You're a great writer and I hope you keep on writing! ^_^

/is this getting too long? :x

Ahh, thank you! ♥ ;; It's really sweet of you.

As for the thing about writing out in details... possibly could you give me an example of this? I think I know what you mean, but I'm just wondering about more specific examples and what not.

And I'd like to thank you for reading. ♥ :333 It makes me happy, knowing people are enjoying what I write!

I think the 2 most obvious ones would be 'Trapped' and 'Tonight, Not Again'? Oh! Well, most of the things you write are short and are in parts right? So they aren't exactly detailed with a plot! But those are good too =) Makes me want to read more ^_^

[goodbyelover]

I see what you mean! I shall keep that in mind.

Thanks for the feedback. ♥

Well, it's not like you won't know who I am, but here to say that you've improved so much in the past year or two! This is completely unfair, okay, jsyk.

The only thing that does strike me as needing improvement is working on the flow and cadence of your words. It's probably arguable that it's just a stylistic issue, and obviously there are people who love your style; I bring it up because sometimes feel like I have to do a bit of work, mentally, to keep up with your writing. Especially during exposition and transition scenes, your sentences tend to sound a bit awkward/unbalanced, so that it's harder to get into the flow of reading.

(Though, I've come to the conclusion that a lot of what I have to say in regards to your writing stems from the fact that you're more into storytelling, whereas I like to wordsmith, if that makes any sense? XD)

[goodbyelover]

Hey, you. :P ♥

I must say this is the absolute hardest thing to overcome as of yet. It's something I try and keep in mind, but it's just not something I have a knack for. But to be sure, it's something I'll continue to work on because I can has mastery of storytelling AND wordsmithing, yo. n_nV #obnoxious

But thanks. ♥ Knowing that you're forever pointing out the flaws really does help me improve, you know? :D

whoops random creeper driveby comment here!

i just want to say that your improvement has been phenomenal over the past...two years (i think? time passes so quickly these days!) i don't have anything more concrete to offer you, except to give you two thumbs up :)b

[goodbyelover]

Ack! ♥ Thank you so much. It makes me... well, super happy to know that my efforts to improve had been noticeable! (It's such an upward climb, sometimes it just feels like I'm going nowhere.)

Thanks! ♥

Amazing and beautiful work! I'm not reading much fic at all right now but I'm hoping I can catch up on you're last couple of stories sometime soon~
Honestly, one of my faves ♥
Keep up the great work :33

[goodbyelover]

Aw ♥ Thank you so much! It's really nice to know that you enjoy reading what I write. (And I hope you still do when you read my more recent stuff. x:) ♥

I'm afraid I can't say anything much. Brain working slowly today or something... Anyway, I just want you to know that I like your fics a lot! ♥ My all-time favorite is this (http://pocky-addiction.livejournal.com/40630.html#cutid1). Even though the atmosphere is dark and it feels awful to read Fujigaya suffering, I think it's the best fic of yours that I've read!

I browsed through some of the tags of my favorite boys in your journal and found many fics that I've read and liked~ Sadly, you don't seem to write a lot about my favorites, but at least those rare fics are awesome and I enjoy reading them. ♥

Oh, the link code didn't work the same way than in LJ? /:

[goodbyelover]

Haha, I guess so. A lot of the base code came from LJ though, right?

Anyway!

Thank you. ♥ I'm really glad that you like the Striketeam as it's something that just sort of ran away with itself and became... what it is now. Haha, I had fun and I'm really glad that it's gotten such positive response. 8D (I have actually begun to admit that I like it too, oh my 8X)

Ahhh, just curious (if you happen to come back and see this) but which favorites? I know I totally end up writing my comfort boys/pairs a lot (KitaFuji/Fujigaya, Takabu/Takaki) but it's always good to branch out and perfect, y/y?
