New Fic: Still Here: G/R RPS: NC-17

Jan 18, 2006 18:06

Jesus, time flies :| When I went to find the link for the last RPS I wrote, I realized it was pretty much a *year* ago that I last wrote one. So I suppose this one was due :P ( Read more... )

Um... wow. I probably say the same thing about all your fics Ethan, but seriously, *wow*. That just... guh. I mean, I was *there*, I was right there feeling it. All of it. The need and the fear and the hesitation and the love. I'm all shaky now. And the end... *dies*

You blow my mind.

Aw, thank you so much for this :) I love getting this kind of feedback - I want readers to feel as in "in the moment" as the characters. And I love what you said here:

The need and the fear and the hesitation and the love.

Yeah, that's just what I wanted to get across - all those emotions mixed up together. Thanks for letting me know this one worked for you :)

Simple beautiful. The perfect balance of lust and love. Wow, I'm so glad I found this. Keep up the beautiful work.

Thanks so much for this... this kind of encouragement totally keeps me writing :)

You really had me at the whispered "yes". The guys "reading" each others' minds was a nice touch.

I thought it was sweet that Gale feel asleep afterwards, but not Randy.

The story had a very friends and lovers feel to it.

Thanks for posting!

Thanks so much, Deb :) I'm glad you got the "friends and lovers" feeling from it... one of the things I like about writing RPS is that I feel like that balance needs to be maintained between them. It's very different than writing Brian/Justin and offers a different challenge for sure.

And thanks for picking up all those details - I'm glad they worked for you :)

Ethan, you are my favorite QaF writer. and this is just further that you should take over the world.

xhaleslowly January 19 2006, 04:45:37 UTC

Aw, Rachel :X :X :X

Thanks so much for your *very* generous words... seriously, if you keep telling me this kind of stuff, you might just encourage me to keep writing QaF fics forever ;)
