It was the same on the first challenge. I learned though that the explanation was actually really simple:

- people didn't finished with their own fics yet
- people didn't wanted to be influenced by the KUs from the challenge that were already posted --> so they didn't read them

:)

After the end of the challenge some of the authors went back to their fellow colleagues fics and left comments then :)

thank you for writing this (ノ ◍•ᴗ•◍)ノ ♥

i've probably read this about 3 times and went through the spoken (which, may I add, looks simple and nice but carries so much meaning and I just love it) and felt the weight of the unspoken in here and still i've yet to come up with a proper comment, so... thank you so much ♥

I read this on the day you posted. Did one read from top to bottom. As I started to figure out with time with me and your fics: I had troubles understanding what was happening in the fic. I blame my Schweizer skills in English mainly for that.

So next day I repeated the process of reading. It was morning, I chose a calming song => everything worked out perfectly. I was already past the layer of making yourself familiar with an English text and this time I was able to concentrate on the meaning.

The authorial voice is very mature and present. It's clinic and cold and I'm completely in love with the deep layers it deals with. I mean, there are 1000 ways of saying, let's say "I eat ice cream" or "I'm thoughtful", but the way you chose your words to express it shows high intelect, reflecting that the author DID think when he wrote.

Kai IS the last to arrive. And this whole fic reflects so brillaintly the idea of The thing about being the last to arrive is that you always miss the first part of the joke. This phrase in the long run ( ... )

(...) He pauses with his hand still in front of him, getting the feeling that he'd just intruded on something. Uruha makes him feel like that, sometimes.

Um...this is one of my secret-crushes-dynamics between the two of them. There are A LOT of times when I strongly feel how awkward Kai feels beside Uruha. When he's with reita he's completely not like that. So to me this moment in your fic was pretty special because it resonated so hard with my own views on them 2.

"I'm sorry about Ruki. He likes knowing things other people don't."

It takes Kai aback, because that was probably last in the choice of words he was expecting. Kai wonders if Uruha feels like they owe Kai something. Not an apology. A thank you, maybe.

"It's fine," he says. He doesn't know who he's assuring.

while he's walking out he thinks of the bumpy mornings where he stumbles past Uruha's bunk and catches him off guard, staring at Reita's bed. Maybe he'd known ( ... )
