True! I did have moment of, man, she could've told *me* she liked it! but you know, thanking for the rec because still, it's very touching. I am therefore touched. yis.
ahahah. you'd have been very lucky if i had. i am evil in the not-fb-ing way. i just post comments in my journal and send them straight to my recs page. it's much easier that way--no searching out of e-mail addresses! i'm terribly lazy.
well, that's a point, but i don't usually do it. now that you mention it, i'm not sure why not.
i myself prefer e-mailed, but there's no real reason to unless you're planning to get horribly critical or something.
ahem.
i was much struck with the mood-air-atmosphere of the story. the deep discomfort--the sort of shifty sweatiness, everything grime and blah and distaste and ill-fitting. the brief bits of description of billy, like little sharp shafts of light. it's so easy to imagine dom glowering too. it was poignant aqnd angsty without leaving you sniffling and saying it's not fair, because the angst is situational and there's no actual unhappy ending or anything. nothing was overdone. it made it all very satisfying.
Whoa! Glad I poked (which I wasn't really doing cause I was just pointing out how I FB people-- email means too much effort but I usually take time to comment once in a while, cos that's easy).
Man, Imma hoard this close to my heart. Details! Thank you again! You deserve it, nono.
But if you have an even unexplained policy of not using the commenting function for FB, I didn't mean to disturb that construct, I swear! *hugs*
Oh and, I'm working on revisions, and will post the newwer version to my LJ - making a link to i from the slasha entry, of course. Just saying. :D
the newer revised version can be found here. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/anatsuno/263579.html?mode=reply) It didn't feel right to edit the comm post. :D
