Well, I'm pretty sure I just irreparably damaged my eyes trying to read this on my crap monitor, but I don't care; I. Love. It. (But you already knew that.)

First of all, Jack's Angstypants voice rang perfectly clear in this, as I knew it would. Their conversation was perfect, and I loved the way you describe both of their thought processes throughout the story. There is SO MUCH potential here it's ridiculous, I cannot wait to see what you do with this. (And yay scoob2222 for squeaking you in! I'll vote for you, dammit.)

Here's to your general awesomeness, and of course, not chickening out. This story deserves a, ahem, happy ending.

...er, okay, so I just had to get up mid-comment and put my niece back to bed (gotta love it when she pops up wide awake after a mere 45 minutes of sleeping at 4 AM), so I completely forgot where I was going with this, but in closing, once again, I love it, can't wait for the rest, and happy crashing. :D

Eeek, I apologise for any retinal damage you may have suffered, and hereby offer to smuggle any meds you may need across the border.

Oh God, it's such a relief to hear that I managed not to screw up Angsty Jack's voice. That was my biggest worry, and even now, I'm not sure I did it right, but if other people dig it, who am I to argue?

You're going to vote for me? YOU. ROCK. SO. HARD. Of course, the vote will be mutual.

Just keep encouraging me like you are and I think I'll manage to get over my nervousness and, er, do the deed after all. :D

Once again, thanks. Couldn't have done it without you :)

You know you guys kill me when you write multi-chapter fics, right? I get all into it and I'm all exciting and then...BAM. I have to wait. Evil cruel people...

I'm ADORING this story. Glory's right about Jack angstypants coming through perfectly. I feel so much pain and awkwardness for both of them. You've really nailed them.

Can't wait to read more!

Heh, believe me, I'm as upset as you are that this thing turned out to be a multi-chapter story. It barely bears any resemblence to what I had envisioned, that's for sure.

Yay! I'm so glad Jack's ansty voice worked out. THat was my biggest worry. :)

Thanks for the kind words! I'll try to get part two started fairly soon. :)

I'm really, really, really enjoying this fic. It's so well written, plus you have now given me an image of shirtless, bronzed Jack which makes me all squishy! Hurry up with part two! ;p

Thanks for the kinds words! Heh, as for shirtless Jack, I'm happy to oblige. ;)
