I love this, it is well written.
Your an amazing writer an i'm glad the comment swap took me to this story.
I like the way it skips around and how well it just meshes together.
>_>
Plus the smut was great and I'm glad you rated your story approprieatly, unlike some people.
This has nothing to do with the summary, but I was incredibly intrigued by the title
I really loved your use of rhythm and repetition in the beginning of the summary because I felt like it really drove in that insomniac feeling of desperate trying to fall asleep and the way that your mind naturally wanders. I also enjoyed the conciseness of this summary in those first three brief paragraphs. I felt like a got a good grasp on what the piece is going to be about without getting so much that it ruins it for me, which is exactly what I feel a good summary should do
I got the feeling that this centered around a co-dependent relationship that could be on the verge of unraveling, and I loved that by the summary, this seems like a very in-the-moment piece that takes place mostly in Ryan’s head, which is the sort of stuff I enjoy reading.
While I like how the Palahniuk quote ties in with the chapter title, I have to admit that coming across it after reading your own summary did throw me off a little. If that quote has to be included for the contest or whatever, I would suggest maybe placing it before your summary or in the A/N. Honestly, I feel like your summary is much stronger on its own without the quote, but I appreciate knowing the source of inspiration
