This left me a little speechless (in a wonderful way), one of the best-written, and best-reads I've found in fanfiction in a long time. And it's an incredibly rare occurrence that I break my usual LiveJournal silence, but I felt it wouldn't be fair, that it'd be wrong, if I didn't tell you how well done I thought this piece was. <3
This was just beautiful. Everything about it was just stunning and so perfect. Guh!! I've had to snoop through all your other BB fics on your journal because I love how you write them. Thank you for this!! What a wonderful treat <3
Oh, this went straight to the top of my list of favorite fics, and I don't even have a list like that. I'm bowled over.
OK, that concludes the inane portion of this comment
You create atmosphere by combining the tangible and intangible into beautiful descriptions right from the start: His hands touch concrete, fingers shaping around the ‘m’ in dream.
I love the simplicity yet accuracy with which you cut to the heart of things throughout your fic. One of my favorite examples of this is the part about Brennan's trust in people and in particular She trusted her parents, and Russ, and Sully, and Michael, and Will, too, (and he turned out to be a schizophrenic murderer, didn’t he) and this phrase sums it all up “But that’s the worst part - the fact that you know and it doesn’t change anything.”
Will there be another fic in four months? OK, I feel I'm about to slip back into the inane (sleep deprivation) so I'll stop here and go bookmark your tidal wave.
I was clearing my inbox and came across your reply.
LOL, I had just written a fic specifying what color Brennan's dress was :) I actually did it to tie two parts together, normally I concentrate on emotions and thoughts too.
I agree with that less is more when it comes to details, it's one of the things I like to explore when writing; how much you can leave out. My re-writing process, if I make any changes after the first draft, is virtually cutting text. I did and LJ entry on it, but I can't remember if it's f-locked or not. I once had a reviewer on ff.net complain that there were too few details, but I suspect it was a case of a lazy reader, I don't cater to those ;) Everyone else seemed to get it.
Hahaha no I mean when like three paragraphs of a fic contain descriptions of what people look like - that drives me mad. Obviously once in awhile descriptions are necessary - I do it once in this fic, I think - but only for a line or two. :P
My writing process is bizarre, actually. I don't usually come up with straight-out ideas for a story, I randomly think of lines. This fic? Spawned from just the title. I thought of the title first, and then started with #11. Those bits of dialogue blew up into this whole thing because rosie_not_rose said she wanted a fic where they got together. But I don't really do first drafts and second drafts - I basically edit as I go along. When I wrote the last sentence of this fic it was finished because I just obsessively edit every line as I write it. I'm just strange. hahahaha
