HAVEN'T READ YET BUT.
Just stopping by to tell you that when I saw this on jent I went to say, "YAAAAY" outloud, except I totally cracked an embarrassing high, so it was more like, "YAAAAaaaaaAAaaY!"
Such was my excitement, READING NOW.

OKAY. It took me a long time to calm down enough to read this... and then even longer to comment ( ... )

oh....i just....oh.

this was so breath-takingly GORGEOUS and new. i confess i haven't read that book yet, but this definitely made me wanna bump it higher up on my to-read list haha.

I thought it was also an interesting contrast to how things are irl: it seems pi is stuck being the golden boy, whereas shige still doesn't get as much attention and is probably able to pursue more personal interests all the time

also all the pairings all over the place made me happy ^___^

YAAAY 8D

Thank you ♥

Huxley is great. I recommend him as much as I would Orwell (and I love his writing too).

I felt bad writing Ryo so depressed and still heartbroken over Pi leaving! I was hard too..

Thanks for reading : )

"A coward who chases nothing and can't even decide what I want."

you have no idea how much that line just.. .resonated with me. i'm pretty much in tears right now.

none of these pairs are a favorite, lol. so to me it fit when nothing really worked out. (it could be that i am too stuck in ryoshige mode to see anything else tho lol)

to me the most real part was when tegoshi was looking out for himself by leaving shige. it seemed so tegoshi like. and also, yamapi being a freeter lol

but now i want them all to go be N's, even massu (who would probably hate it but then change his mind)

When I started writing, I had already made a decision that none of the pairs would work out, so at the least, I didn't break your heart by breaking up a RyoShige pairing ;)

And for a while, I was thinking of making them all run out to become N's, but... in the context of this world, I didn't think it would be believable, and would have weakened the meaning of Pi doing it.

raviolikenshin September 24 2010, 04:45:27 UTC

hmmm, i understand why you feel hesitant to make them all n's, but because pi is the leader i assumed they would all follow in their own "special" way lol

also i thought i would be one of the few who wanted a continuation with them all as n's lol

sorry, but i did enjoy this so much that i wanted more ^^

This is fantastic.
I love this world you've created even as I hate it for it's stifling rules. I want them all to run off and become Ns or to band together in secret and plot to expose the government's lies or something.
I love it. I want to read more of this 'verse.

Thanks!

Exposing government lies sounds like.... something that would take a long time to write. But, that hasn't stopped me before.
