A Quarter After One - Comments

  • I would quote all my favorite lines from this, but it would make my already more-than-likely-going-to-be-long-ass-comment into a short story, so, I think I'll settle for this:

    There were so many parts that made me laugh out loud, and several that actually made me awh, lol. I can't even just say that I love it, because it surpasses love, and I might just click subscribe to it even though it won't be continued, hahah.

    I think you undermine your abilities with writing the romantic "fluff" in stories. I know it's probably as awkward for you to write as it is for me to write, but you hit everything home perfectly. Nothing was overdone, nothing was cliche; it was beautiful. Even the romance was executed perfectly. You definitely don't have to be graphically descriptive for the right emotions to come across, which is something I notice in all your writing. Usually they way you depict a "sex scene" reflects the characters and situations themselves; like in Fix/Second Hand they brink the edge of hardcore smut and violence and it fits with the characters' situations and conflicts, in Beast/Scream/Tonight all the romance and smut has overtones of the emotions surging between the characters, and in this one-shot, too much description would have caused the piece to lose its worth. You, obviously, wrote the romance flawlessly. I was listening to the song on repeat while reading and when the phone lines got busy because they were calling each other at the same time, I was hoping that that wouldn't be the end of it. Thankfully it wasn't and I was giddy when they ran into each other.

    What amazed me most of all, was how much you got my personality down to an art form, lol. Like Sev said, this pretty much screamed me. It's funny because I found myself getting pissed off at my imaginary agent the more she talked and the situation that set off the break up would actually probably piss me off, especially if I were already under stress and feeling shitty about myself. I'm smiling like an idiot just typing this comment, and I was at certain parts of the story, too. So, consider this a great success.

    In short, I fell in love with this. It was beautiful, flawless, wonderful, superb, etc, etc; I could go on and on, lol.

  • "I was an artist and entitled to some quirky behavior. My antisocial behavior would probably be written off as some fascinating ennui." and "Everyone loves a tortured artist." Loved those lines. Very true and oh, so fitting. XD

    I liked it. It certainly screamed Scratch to me. The sarcastic but witty and quirky remarks that make you want to laugh but you know you shouldn't because she'll punch you. lol.
