I think if you don't mind I might have to friend you, though I'm gonna point out that I don't expect you to friend me back, I'm just sayin' 'cause I know I like to know who's watching my journal.

Anyway, so for the second time tonight I need to gush about one of your stories. There's a real ease to slipping into your writing and universes that you don't always find. I think maybe it's something to do with the balance between narrative, introspection and dialogue. Whatever it is it works and seems to get me hooked quick enough.

This one's really interesting. There's a lot in here I really like from Jared's relationship with his parents - that bit about his mum being a teacher and knowing what teenage boys are like is perfect for so many of the teachers I know - to Jensen's friends. I'm a sucker for protective friends.

But I love shy Jensen in this and how carefully you've written and dipicted him. I still am to some extent when I meet new people outside of a work situation, but when I was younger, back in my teens, I was terribly shy and the whole being deathly afraid of saying something dumb, being judged to be lacking or weird or stupid and the wareing clothes that hid me is something I can really relate to.

Jared's reactions to him are great too. I had a silly adoration for the missunderstanding with Lenore. That particular story arc never fails to make me squee.

Anyway, again thanks for a great read and I'll look forward to more whenever the muse decides to co-operate. I know how pesky they can be sometimes.
