I don't think the reader would totally understand the exact meaning of your prose but only because I believe that as with all works, the writer is the only omniscient god who knows and comprehends every little thing.

Anyway, hey Daphne. Sorry it took so long to review. I've been busy. Thank you for emailing me a copy though, it does make a girl feel special. Haha.

So... Right. On to the review. The shifting of perspectives tended to be confusing, but I understood most of them. Not all, but then again, I've made my point. I liked how Kathryn wasn't sentimental here, and even if she were, it wasn't to the point of nausea. She remained in character: cruel and malicious, laughing at the others. See? You're getting the hang of this! Your acute sense of perception is very admirable.

I liked this as well:

He made me wonder, wonder. All I wanted was to be beautiful. Dauntingly so, darkness carried in my bones and allure broken and sewn in my skin.

I am nothing if not yours.

One day you may ask me, tell me what you know? And I can quietly laugh at you, in the way that I do; respond that I know nothing, and brush away the dusting of secrets that adorn my mind.

I know of the words that you put in that journal of yours, found out most the previous autumn, beginning of senior year. I didn’t care for a while, I knew you would see through my lies.

It really does make me wonder what'll come out if you decided to write a long fic. Hmm.

I think I need to reread both of these chapters. I just figured out it's from Annette's point of view. Or at least part of it is... I can't really be sure. It's beautiful writing either way. Even if I'm not sure who is talking in it.

Anyway, I have to go to class now. I wish this review was longer and made more sense but it's a little early in the morning. Scratch the little.

I think I need to check out some of your D/HR stuff. It's been a while since I've read a really good Harry Potter fic. (that is what you usually write, isn't it?)

Okay, yes, have to go to class. Can't wait to see more from you (and your fic you're going to co-author with y-x! That's still happening, isn't it?

Hey! y-x told me to be waiting for your story! You have a very... different writing style than I'm used to. Which isn't to say it's bad. A little confusing... interesting definitely. Just... different. A very good different. I'm wondering what's going to happen in the next installment.

"Last night I dreamt I was an addict, and this morning I knew that I was."

Extremely well written and the -perfect- ending line for this.

Wow, so dedicated to me huh? I think I might blush, oh stop it. Haha.

I feel honored that I got kind of the sneak peek to this before everybody else, and well, I guess I already told you what I thought about it.

But it doesn't hurt to repeat it I suppose. So, here goes: Completely different style of writing. That's how it'll stand out among everything else in this forum. It's a marriage of poetry and prose. Not everybody can do that. So yeah. Be proud! Be hella proud, Daphne. Have I mentioned how glad I am that there's a new writer here, and more glad that it's you? If not, then I am. You should leave DHr behind and go to CI. They have thousands of fics over there anyway. ;-P I told my friend Katie about you and how I was looking forward to you putting this out. I think you'll get a review from her soon, seeing as how I told her how good of a writer you were. I also think it's because of the fact that she's starting to get sick of me being the only one updating. ;-) CI needs some new blood.

Oh well. Till the next chapter I suppose.
