o3o I am so happy this thing has happened. I love to read all of the things you write because they are yours and it is as close to a cuddle as I can get from all the way down here.

I also happen to very much like this! Since you said about frothing over reveals, I thought there had been plenty enough lovely making-and-building that I was not at all offended by the most explicit part of the bloom, since I had just spent several lovely days acquainting myself to the outer petals.

I have also imagined Ro with bright bubblegum accessories, but that's the sort of ridiculous mood I've been in.

I treasure you for your attentions here, yiii~

I've been thinking about it and yesssss, reading each other's words is like sharing a ~braincuddle~ which is...... a thing I have missed. OH I HAVE MISSED IT. This awakening, while bittersweet, is good; I actually kind of feel like I've unleashed the beast, the nattering storyteller in me that has been months-dormant is suddenly clicking her teef together for attention! \o/

Yyyyyeah I'm just seeing cartazonos now and 'bubblegum accessories' pretty much solidifies my burning desire to petition for the presence of a super-hot candy-studded librarian?? Whose ability to read body language and other unspoken miscellany makes her almost impossible to deceive?? And because she does so love to know, she is endlessly prying into everything?? Hhhhurg, I haven't thought this through correctly (ie. at all) and for some reason the idea of pursuing lj rp again is INCREDIBLY INTIMIDATING, but I go where the supernatural lesbians gather. No other life is known to me.

-feeds this beast.- I have been wanting to let my own to drool on everything, but... so many papers. My papers are already too fanciful and informal for the likings of some of my professors without bringing in any tentacled creatures. Although. Maybe I should just go ahead and give that a go, I'm already so resentful of one or two of them that I alternate between insulting them to their faces and insulting them in my papers. Sob

I don't know where to begin heaping love on this. The obvious and easy starting point is the prose, but while it's clearly deserving, I don't want to make the premise feel left out, or the worldbuilding, or the characters. I LOVE YOU ALL YOU ARE GLORIOUS.

I got actual goosebumps right around "please harvest me," though my insides were already happily shivering by the description of the forest. When I figured out what exactly he was I had to stop and go back and reread everything before it because it was all deliciously recontextualized and YES. YES. A+, GOLD STAR, I EXPECT THIS WILL GIVE ME WONDERFUL NIGHTMARES TONIGHT.

Either that, or dreams that are just wonderful, because I want to travel like Mirror travels, because amazing. ♥

Oh! I just remembered this original fic I meant to write titled "Mirror" about someone who gets up one day and walks away and never comes back. I only ever wrote the first few lines, and I don't remmeber where I was planning to go with it, but now I wonder if I didn't stop because somewhere I realized

Thank you for. Every word. You have ever written to me. :') These ones included, egjodkgj! This is the first 'complete' thing I've written in a while and.... I fought with every sentence, hahaha. I enjoyed writing it, and I very much enjoy the result, but the whole dealio was haunted by shades of catharsis. It had to happen, whether I felt inspired or not. I am soooo happy that it came together as a cohesive.... thing! And, better yet, that it served to divert and please you!

sdkjfsk, I LOVE YOUR EDITING EAGLE-EYE. That line should be can go anywhere at all, in line with Mirror's sense of being.... not really trapped but limited to a very specific space.

I am convinced that we are braintwins. We draw words and ideas from the same well, and I feel MOST FORTUNATE to have the privilege of lurking around your corner of the woods, leaving and finding little gifts of stories hidden in the branches of trees~~~♥

[empath_eia]

And here I thought it was your corner of the woods! And what a lovely image. ♥

Anyhoo, now I want to write too. I have so many WIPs lying around that I actually like but haven't felt like looking at in like a year. You're inspiring~

I think that on normal days I forget how amazing the world can be. And then you'll write something, and I'll read it, and I'll not only remember that the world really is quite amazing, I'll realize that it's even better than that. Words cannot describe how much I love every single beating word of this. Concept, language, characters... This is the kind of thing you read over and over again, and fall in love with every time, deeper than before.

I am very pleased to say that this sentiment is a two-way street, AND OH MAN THERE IS NO SPEED LIMIT. When I was trying to wrap this story up, you posted Dynamism and it gave me a boost I hadn't realized I'd needed. When I see evocative writing, I want to answer it in kind. This last summer I've been somewhat starved of that. Now that I'm able to poke around on LJ more frequently, I can feel the great storytelling beast stiiiiirring.

Thank you, o champion mine, for providing such wonderful, wonderful feedback, and also for offering your own excellent work to all-comers. I accept it as a treat and a challenge! >3
