OUCH! What you did there, it's amazing. Little snippets that all bring the angst and tell part of a bigger angstier story--it's fantastic!

My favorite thing is that you can't tell which one remains.

Thank you. *blushes* And I tried really, really hard to make it not-clear who was gone and who was left behind. I'm glad that it worked. I was thinking about adding to each section...but we'll see...

Oh, HA. Wicked and brilliant - they never what hit them, did they??? I bet you made them wail and tear their hair (oh wait, that would probably be angsty, huh?). Or maybe, you know, swoon on a fainting couch somewhere with an embroidered handkerchief and an overly sweetened cup of tea.

These are fabulous, and soooooooo clever the way they weave together for the larger story but are strong enough to stand painfully on their own. :D

I like you. I like you shiny, pretty, evilly angsty brain. *beams*

Don't forget the smelling salts. Nasty stuff. And thanks! This little project turned out much better than I'd hoped (or expected). And I'm full of angst. Yay angst!

GO Team Angst!!!

Oh wow, good stuff! Very angsty and nicely constructed. And I love that choice not to reveal anything about who died, or how, or why. It could even have been Dief! (Which yes, kills me, but you act in the service of angst and for that you are forgiven!) Great job on this! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the challenge!

Thank you kindly! It means a lot coming from a writer I admire.

And I love that choice not to reveal anything about who died, or how, or why.

I chose to do that because the how and why are irrelevant to the one who is left behind. And that's part of what I was trying to show.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the challenge!

No pressure or anything, eh? I got drive-by romanced this morning, which kinda inspires me to go add some more snippets...

GO Team Angst

This is spectacular, really inspired and painful! I love the way that each piece creates more questions than it does answers. And your responses are, if that's even possible, even more poignant. Leftover hope under the couch, god.

Let's see. I hit green-grrl with Superhero Slash Angst, ignazwisdom with Data Loss Angst, catwalksalone with ER Angst (but she caught me, damn it), etben with Summer Camp Angst, and jadelennox with Google Privacy Concerns Angst.

Thanks. I liked the way some of them came out too (hope under the couch is one of my favorites). And like I told nos4a2no9, it means so much more coming from writers I admire...

I was going to pick out the angst that I liked best (of the ones you hit Team Romance with) but then I realized I liked them all, with the superhero and the ER ones hurting the most. Like shards of broken glass. Or something.

And I got busted by aingeal8c, so don't feel too bad. In return, Team Romance sent me a little present...So in addition to being romanced, I also got unmasked. Damn Team Romance, and their little dog too!

Ow, that's... owww. *revels in the angsty angstiness of your... um, angst*

Am very depressed, now. Well done!

Ha. Teach those romantic types to try and play hard ball, eh? You've chewed them up and spit them out in tiny bits of pink, sparkly confetti. That falls in the mud. And then is sad. Yes.

Thank you kindly. And *hug* for the depression. I understand, 'cause I kept crying while trying to write them. My keyboard got a little waterlogged and will probably need to be replaced after this challenge.

But no sacrifice is too great for Team Angst. GO Team!
