maybe it's called aching

r, original fiction, 8125 words, for fated_addiction as a rescue operation from the third challenge at inrevelations

[I had a lot of fun writing this -- although I definitely took some new risks and things -- and I guess my hope is that you enjoy it, too?]

Love, love, love this.

There are parts of the plot that I find problematic/troubling, but your voice in this is so strong and so powerful. This is the best thing you've written that you've posted here.

If you want more specific comments, let me know! Would type them out but am le tired.

Thanks so much for reading! I would definitely love specific comments -- I want to work on revising it and I think there are big problems with the ending scenes, to say the least. Not to mention my general lack of research on drag queens. Thanks for being willing to take the time, and being (as always!) so helpful and encouraging.

I guess typos are what you get when you diss the greats of Russian literature? (Also when it's somebody I still haven't managed to read?)
