I like how in this chapter you used letters as scene transitions.

I'm impressed with the amount of effort it must have taken for you to plan out, juggle and balance writing about all these relationships, since there are quite a few. Sometimes some of the pairings seem a bit abrupt, or vague, and not very much explored, characterization-wise.

At the same time, I'm not even halway through, so I'm not sure if other pairings do get to expand. I'm a bit sharp-eyed when it comes to characterization, generally, so I'm just being nitpicky.

Thanks for writing. <3

EWFS was drawn out on graph paper, sort of, with a calendar and things; it's incredibly tightly structured. Some of the pairings definitely have a quick and lusty start, and then a rocky road later. They all have arcs, but not all the arcs peak at the same time. I tried to plan it like waves so there was always something peaking and something still rising.

Thank you for this interesting comment! I'm really excited that you're reading and enjoying the story!

I'm slowly working my way through this again and I was going to save up all my commenting for the end, but, well... I'm just gonna fangirl you a little.

I'm not usually interested in fics about the 'the young ones', partly because I find they're not often treated with the seriousness and maturity (lol me talking about maturity) that is usually present in fic about the older generation (or at least that used to be the case, to be fair I haven't given this generation much of a chance in a long time). This, though, is just so very good... I have always thought so

I've always been so flattered and excited that you read this story because there really is a difference between the "kids" and the "grown-ups" in both tone and subject matter.

It's awesome when people pick up on little things, like Padma's weird reserve or Seamus's movie-madness, especially since those are the kinds of things I always like about the stories I love.

And you know I give everyone their happy endings; that's my thing, yo.

THANK YOU!! YAY!
