 whereowhere-is-my-rabbit 2007-03-05 . chapter 2OK, must admit, somewhat confused about ending. Which doesn't actually mean that it's vague because I'm actually quite dense and need things spelled out for me. But hey, that's what the author reply thingies are for, huh? I hardly have anything more to say about the exquisite characterisation that is Rikku and Gippal. I love how you did hteir marriage because they seem to have outlived the 'extreme passion' stage of their relationship and settled into the 'keeping it alive' stage, if you get what I mean. Which of course just adds to the realism.
One small note though, I thought that Rikku burst into tears a bit TOO quickly. It would have been better if you'd built it up a bit more, lead as through Rikku's realisation of what might be going on. Her anger was awesomely done though, especially "and I wish I’d pushed him off the balcony instead of onto the floor". Classic!
And stop deriding yourself! This was in no manner, shape or form 'crap' or plotless. You're an amazingly talented writer, a blind person could see that. don't lose faith in yourself and your abilities =D |
