    There is so much emotion in this, really all I can say is what an amazing piece. Also, wow, way to rip my heart out.

    This was lovely. I enjoyed that it wasn't another "dear ___, i love you." or "dear ____, fuck you." I think you accurately captured the embarrassment that sexual assault creates. I am also very glad this didn't have a happy ending. Life isn't about happy endings and they are fun to read in books but there are far too many in existence. This was a great piece that dealt with "survivors guilt" and the butterfly effect. I am just loving this piece completely. I wish I could recommened this ten times over.

    This story has literally been popping up on my friend's pages and My Mibba thingies for the past few days, like "blah blah recommended Dear Conrad" and I was like "Ima be weird and not read it." I'm glad I stopped being a stubborn idiot and decided to read it.

    This was so upsetting and sad. I had no idea what it would be about and it took me by surprise. I was really upset when it came to the end because you just poured emotion into this piece and I was drowning in it. You're such a talented writer, seriously i'm so jealous and the feelings you put in your writing and portray through your words.. Breathtaking, you inspire me.

    I think I've lost my ability to feel anything.

    This was so breathtakingly beautiful and amazingly sad. I was listening to the song while I read it and it match up so perfectly. You need to stop making me feel things with your writing, omg. It was so realistic, which made it so much better and so much more emotional.

    It was just so real and amazing and bah. I can't handle it, your writing is too gorgeous and amazing and your descriptions are flawless and the emotions are incredible and yeah. I love this. I just. I can't. In Love Crazy

    This is so fucking sad. It is a great story, but so sad. Conrad is an amazing person for helping her out. Your writing is absolutely fantastic which only made the story that much more sad. Ugh, this story is so great.

    Alright. Well there you go. Added to the list of a million reasons why you're amazing. This was fantastically well written, an intriguing plot line, and oddly sweet. You've got such a talent, love.

    Oh my god this is amazingly fabulous. I bet she feels so shitty and guilty, I can FEEL it in the writing, especially the very end. And I love how this is like how life actually works, where good doesn't always prevail, you know? Shitty things like this happen and they're so heartbreaking and you wrote it so well and ugh Conrad he sounds so perfect. It really is a damn shame that the good die young.

    This is absolutely breathtaking. Just...the way you describe everything, wow. You've added in such painstaking detail and I can actually see the entire scene playing out in my head. You've more than definitely got a way with words and this piece shows that. The story idea itself is absolutely heart-wrenching, I was absolutely heartbroken when I read about what happened to Conrad. You've managed to highlight an issue that a lot of people skim over: nice people don't always end up being congratulated for their work, sometimes they end up worse-off for it. It's a fact of life and you've illustrated it oh-so-beautifully here.

    Absolutely amazing. Really.

    Can I just thank you for writing this? I know that sounds weird, but I was relieved to read something so simple but well-written at the same time.

    And it reminded me of a friend who passed away a few months ago. Conrad reminded me of him. It was touching to read something and almost...I don't know, have him back again.

    This was lovely. <3

    Wow. The summary intrigued me. It made me want to read this and made me wonder what would happen. So, of course I read it.

    The story was amazing. Long enough to describe everything well, but short enough so that the reader won't lose interest. I absolutely love your writing style and just the idea of this story. Amazing job!
