Falco, how can you say what you say about my drivel when you write such-GOD...I AM UNWORTHY

More a knife wound than a smile. Why can't I come up with stuff like that? This is gorgeous. GORGEOUS. Please tell me you're going to teach high school history. In fact, come teach with me. Between the two of us, we'll have the grittiest, most interesting Junior classes in the country.

Falco and Hilary--taking America's Educational Outposts by force one by one.

i finished 10 words, hooray.
now for the reward.
ok, reward may not have been the correct term, per se. this is utterly depressing. i was recc'ing your stuff last night to a chat full of people and someone was like "what's her writing like?" and the only thing i could think of was "gritty." i suppose "raw" would have worked, too. same thing, almost.
but yeah this just makes me feel bad about myself. (strangely.) i do like kill. love kill. and god i'm so glad he doesn't have anyone to look after. that would kind of be a bummer (not to mention a wee bit cliche, and maybe annoying to write) if he had a little sister or brother, etc, to keep an eye on. it's not really in his character.. he may have friends and alliances, but he looks after himself, and he's good at it, and he doesn't need to bother with anything/one else.
it's good, i like it, write more plz now.
and don't forget to detail extensively with many adjectives when he falls in love (or doesn't, but you know) ahem hem hem.
hem.

I must say that I'm incredibly excited to see that you're starting the prequel to INY. And for it to be revolving around Kill, plus Jack and Spot? I love you.

Your language is just as amazing as it was in INY, but I didn't expect anything less. Awesome job.

"but also beginnings."
indeed.
honestly i don't have many words right now because it's too depressing. BUT i think it's a very good setup. and i'm glad you already have the next chapter, cause that means you'll post it soon and us lovely readers can go right back into Kill's strong arms. mm. bebe, why did you ever leave?
i'd like to see your New York go up against Helprin's New York, god what a mess that would make.
