Date: 30 Dec 2003 08:48 am (UTC)well, that's a point, but i don't usually do it. now that you mention it, i'm not sure why not.

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.
