FIRST FOR THE WIN

PROPER COMMENT COMING.

[dragynflies]

“Idiots,” she echoes, and kisses him again. “I could kiss you forever.” At this his hand is between her thighs, cupping her through her jeans. “You’re right, that would be silly,” she says, and pulls her top over her head.

Favorite line, I think. The others were also good.

Man, the nerve of them really -- do you know what happens when alcohol is spilled and ignored? They are lucky they were not near any computer accessories as something might have been damaged like a mouse or something.

Or a Connie and Carla dvd case.

[dragynflies]

Yes, there are many hypothetical examples for things that could be damanged by ignored alcohol spillage.

You are such a good writer. I'm reading many of your works tonight and am constantly fascinated by how I lose myself in them. They are so wonderfully descriptive that I often lose track of everything around me and just picture the words on the page coming to life.

[houseketeer]

thank you so very much. that's the most beautiful compliment i've gotten in a long time.

[smquigel]

Well you really do deserve it. I'm grateful that there are writers willing to make their work available for all of us to read. A well written story can be the most wonderful distraction to a most heinous day. And yours are always so engaging that I can't help but enjoy myself and feel my spirits lifting when reading. So thank you for all your hard work and for continuing to feed my House/Cameron fantasy life.

[psyche_cuore]

Thank you.

I'm sorry I can't be more articulate than that at the moment, but after the last couple of days, being able to sit and have this to read was wonderful. :)

[houseketeer]

LOVED IT. Haven't read pr0n in a while, decided to read yours, and letmejustsay THANK GOODNESS I DID!!!! LOL! Loved it!!!!! w00t.

Also, two small comments...sorry if i'm being annoying/nit-picky.
First: "The thought of staying with him has passed though her mind, leaving her nauseous."
-"nauseous" should be "nauseated"--assuming that she feels like she's gonna vom, and not that she makes other people want to vom.
Second: "She arches of the bed, trying unsuccessfully to force him in deeper. “Stop teasing and fuck me,” she begs."
-"of" should be "off" i assume. just a typo ;)

Sorry if that's annoying, I just notice cause (don't laugh, or laugh just don't mock me too much) spelling/grammar mistakes break the flow for me and are thus kinda squicks...I know I'm a dork. ANYWAY, feel free to ignore :D EXCELLENT STORY!!!!! loveeeeee

[houseketeer]

love you.

I'll give you one out of two. Just because I love a good usage debate, from Merriam Webster

Main Entry: nau·seous
Function: adjective
1 : causing nausea or disgust : NAUSEATING
2 : affected with nausea or disgust
- nau·seous·ly adverb
- nau·seous·ness noun
usage Those who insist that nauseous can properly be used only in sense 1 and that in sense 2 it is an error for nauseated are mistaken. Current evidence shows these facts: nauseous is most frequently used to mean physically affected with nausea, usually after a linking verb such as feel or become; figurative use is quite a bit less frequent. Use of nauseous in sense 1 is much more often figurative than literal, and this use appears to be losing ground to nauseating. Nauseated is used more widely than nauseous in sense 2.

I know someone who has her own copy of a very long multi-part that she has edited for grammer and punctuation for her private re-reading pleasure. So I would never laugh.

[apophantic]

THAT IS AWESOME.
