Ah yes it's actually Public lol.

CRITIQUE AWAY

[kotomine]

Nice final touches. Makes it more comprehensible. Yay.

1) I love the style. Unique, except that at first I was a bit disoriented because I didn't know who said what (Himawari and Watanuki I could tell apart, though - it means you got their voices down, congrats! 8D). And I have a random question, was this inspired in one way or another by Proof by Contradiction? XDDD

2)I loved seeing the characters/their relationship's from other points of view. (Uhhh on that note, not sure if this is the right place to do this, but reccing Cold Cases, which is also told from an outsider's point of view 8D)

3) Also love how it was arranged, really one thing leading to another! My favorite was the segue from "What about Doumeki Shizuka and Watanuki Kimihiro" to Watanuki's "What do you mean you want to ask if there's something going on with me and THAT--" And the denial in all caps. XD

4) These lines really say a lot! Really good characterization. :P
Hell, his friends are strange and noisy, but you don’t know them at all, either.
Doumeki-san shouted at him once, and that was when my classmates took

PS. I DON'T EVEN SHIP THEM, BUT THEY HAVE SOME OF THE MOST HEART-WRENCHING/"AWWW" FIC MOMENTS EVER. Or maybe I just happen to find the good ones under your guidance. Keep reccing XD, I had fun consuming them (haven't gone through everything yet, though - and I left the smutty ones alone, except maybe for With and House of Hundred Regrets). I am also encouraging you to write more of this pairing. :P I love them as a gen/platonic pair (with Himawari for balance - magical things come in threes!XD), but I am always open to the hurt and sweetness that comes with them as a couple. :)

This comment of yours made me really happy <3<3<3 I'm glad that my recs are actually GOOD recs. I'm still pretty much in love with Doumeki and Watanuki at this point, even if all my friends from the fandom are moving on to Oofuri Furikabutte, but I'm really frustrated at CLAMP right now and it's not helping. :(

*hugs you tightly* Thank you so much~! I knew I can count on you~

Come out of the closet, sweetie :3

... I lol'd, and then I couldn't stop. Awesooome.

I loved the perspective switches, and I loved the different looks at the relationship and what was important about what happened.

[sordidlilthing]

Thank you very much! I'm glad that I got the effect I wanted. xD

[nebulia]

I lol'd.

Awesome.

The one thing I would have wanted to see would have been an interview from Doumeki (though it probably would have been like all of five words), since there was one from Watanuki as well.

The one I loved the most was the guy in kyudo. Seriously. It was awesome.

And Himawari's was great too.

And I lol'd the most when Watanuki first mentioned Yuuko--because it was so obvious he was off in his little world--and then he tried to explain hitsuzen and for some reason I just cracked up.

[sordidlilthing]

Well if you notice, Maki Kumo IS investigating about Doumeki Shizuka...in secret. xD (I bet she's too shy to talk to Doumeki in person, too.)

Thank you very much! ♥

The kyudo guy. Guuh. You don't want to know how many revisions his part had. :3

[nebulia]

This is true...and you're right, Doumeki's kinda intimidating. XD

[scelerisin]

i am in love. so, so much love. X3

[sordidlilthing]

Thank you so much!
