I really enjoy reading this and I can't really find any weak spots for you to work on. ^^; The only quibble I found, well, lanerose already pointed it out. This fic is very well-written.

I appreciate your opinion on this. And I completely agree Kevin never having played in the Open was far-fetched but my silly mind couldn't come up with an alternative. Luckily, I have people like you and lanerose to point these things out to me which I am grateful for.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I'll keep working on making things believable, hehe. :)

Well here's what I thought ramenlass June 22 2007, 00:59:22 UTC

I thought it had a nice flow to it, the opening was unique and the ending was very fitting fot Ryoma's character. All and all I thought it was brilliant.

Thanks for pointing those things out! I actually don't like the ending myself but if you do, who am I to argue? :D And I'm really glad you mentioned the flow; it's difficult for me to keep things moving smoothly and I have to work really hard at it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the fic! I appreciate you sharing your opinion on it. :)

Loved it. Will comment more extensively tomorrow, when I'm not so shamelessly hungover.

How to you expect to survive to the finals?”
should be "How do you expect to survive the finals?", by the way.

Ack, stupid mistake! Thank you and your sharp eyes for catching that!!

I'm back, bearing something that might look like coherence. (It isn't.)

asldkfjgfjsdfgj I AM SO PROUD OF MY DAUGHTER. Really, this was just so awesome, KC - it flows so naturally and the dialogue OMG the dialogue killed me. I don't know how you write such great dialogue. And your Atobe got through as so very IC, I am still in awe. You keep saying that you like my writing style better than yours but OMG that is so not fair, because this is so good, and now I don't know if I should feel angry or flattered that you say something like that about me. Honestly, apart from that one spelling mistake I pointed out in my earlier comment, this was just perfect. You've said before how you tend to go towards drama and this proves it, and it's just so well-written. Just, it's awesome.

“Can you please put me down?” he grumbled. “This is the last time I’ll be walking off the court as a professional and I’d prefer to do it with my own two feet.” I love, love, love, love this line. Seriously. This is so much like Ryoma and it makes his feelings come ( ... )

Haha, I hope you at least had fun to warrant the hangover. ;)

Your praise is totally stroking my ego though I'm regretful I don't think I deserve half of it. I'm still (yes, still) debating whether I like this fic or not, though it usually leans towards not just because I don't think I conveyed what I wanted to. But I'm glad at least the characters weren't too off their personalities. And I'm no expert at dialog but I hope it was interesting enough for people to keep reading.

Anyway, Mom, you're supposed to praise your daughter and give me lots of encouragement even when you think it sucks. :P

I had to throw Sanada in there just because he's ... well, Sanada. :D

L is awesome, isn't he? I love DN.

Yeah, our responses keep getting longer and longer! :D

That was an amazing story, and you captured the entire plot outside of the relationship very well. Though the story was not focused on the relationship between Tezuka and Ryoma, you managed to thread their relationship and their respective influences on one another really well in a beautiful, driving, and moving plot. I would just look out for some of the phrasing that might be awkward. It is a problem that I often face myself. (^^)

Thank you so much for such lovely words. I'm pleased that you enjoyed it since I loved the idea (but not necessarily the way I wrote it).

As for those awkward phrases, I do have more trouble with that than I probably should. I've read and edited this story at least 10 times (no, I'm not joking, I'm that OCD about checking fics before posting them) and I still always miss one thing or again. If you have anything specific in mind, do let me know. I miss a lot of mistakes and I should really put an effort into finding a beta who doesn't mind being bothered. :D

Again, thank you for letting me know what you thought!
