I am glad Alanna and Thom are not the main people you write about. I think that if you were writing a book, this sene, even if you deleated it, would taint your perception of the characters and therefore taint the book.
just my opinon.

Wow. There's nothing I can say that Lea hasn't said, though. Especially what she said about "Maybe that's the reason it's so much more effective than most incest fics, because it expands upon the existing relationships, rather than trying to negate them with romance."
(I found this through the Dove.)

Wow. that was absolutely disgusting- and great! I had no idea I could actually enjoy something like that.

*floored* I love it. *hearts* That's all I can say at the moment.

Oh.
*speechless*
That is so incredibly beautiful.

That was awesome! Are you going to continue? Please 0_o

This story is so painful and heart-wrenching to read. It tugs on all the right strings -- grief and fear of isolation, compassion and pity, anger and intimacy and jealousy. The sheer complexity of Alanna and Thom's love is never explored in canon as it could be. As George comments at one point, Thom is like a version of Alanna, gone horribly wrong.
This tension of identity comes through in your fic. Even more powerful is the -- again, underexplored -- need that Alanna has for Thom, and the profound love they share. In a way, I think, the story explores the idea of sex as a vehicle of expressing non-romantic love. Maybe that's the reason it's so much more effective than most incest fics, because it expands upon the existing relationships, rather than trying to negate them with romance.
Either way, this is easily one of the most interesting and intriguing pieces I've seen from you, and that's saying something. You truly are a one of a kind author, to be able to pull off a story that's at once both emotionally jarring and intellectually fascinating. Frightened as you might be by having written this, I'd love to see more Alanna/Thom from you -- not necessarily incestuous.

God, you almost made me have a heart attack when I saw this in the SFF thread. I thought it would be disgusting and tasteless, but it is so evidentally not. Good job, not many can pull off twincest like you did. :)

that was very very very very VERY WELL DONE. wow. i'm w/ lq and candice and shattered for this one too. wow. *is also floored*

This is the prettiest, saddest fic I've read in a long, long time.

This is CityCam16 from the Dove... I must admit that while I find incest to be disturbing, you do a great job of writing Alanna/Thom.

very tastefully done, thats all i really need to say.
nice fic, it is not gross or anything, it was written with sensitivity and compassion.
keep it up

I... I'm with LQ/Quatre-sama and Candice. This was really and truly brilliant. Welcome to the SFF

That was the saddest, sweetest, most... bittersweet turn to an idea I've read yet. Brilliant. Had me morbidly fascinated, then entranced by the thought of having someone, your other half, you love so completely... irk. Must go now. I'm going to get all mushy!!
Loved it! A thousand thumbs up!

Oh. My. Friggin. God. I honestly just don't know what to say about this one, other than that it's SFF, and it's _you_, and it's here and... wow. I've just been floored. Completely and entirely and absolutely floored by what you've done with Alanna/Thom. It's so wrong, and yet I can't-- won't-- make myself look away.

(Perhaps notate it AxT, indicating action on the A/T front, since slashes get edited out of the summaries now.)

But yeah. I've been floored, and this requires live conversation. *logs into MSN* *presents with an Official SFF Banner*

Dude... I feel really, really terrible for not rambling, but, well, I've just been floored. And frightened that Alanna/Thom failed to sqiuck me, and amazed by how well you handled the complete desperation that has to be inherent to the pairing else it _does_ become squickworthy, and all sorts of other things. And I'm floored. I mentioned that, didn't I?
