Simply amazing. I can't see a single bit of this piece I'd wish to criticize. The level of understanding you convey of the characters and the analogy you present really epitomises all that's needed for a great Lit fic.

Amazingly written, perfectly organized...there isn't one thing that I don't love about this piece.
I've always been amazed at the depth of some the Lit fics on this site; all the imagery and the subtle metaphors that make Lit what it is. And you've added another winner to that list, perhaps one of the best I've ever read.
Bravo :)

:D impressive

I loved this.
The descriptive language paints picturess
Sounds cliche ahah but its one of the best ones on here...

That was so beautiful. There are plenty of fanfics out there that are poorly written, or don't have a firm grip on the characters themselves, but this was incredible. The imagery in the writing is equisite, and you completely nailed Jess (being a Jess lover, this is something I appreciate). Bravo! I loved it. :]

Very stylish and evocative prose. Great capture of what is going on in Jess's mind.

this was fantastic! i loved the flash backs and the end was perfect. I loved the last line! Looking forward to reading more of your futre fics, hopefully literati.

excellent. there are many stories in here where jess' main characterization is writing in margin; however, noone used the metaphor of his pages and his margin in regards to relationship to rory, yet. I think, your sentences: "There was nobody to fill up the margins of his pages. That is, not until her". are unique, original expression of his personality and their story. great work.

I'm speechless.That was amazing and sad and happy and beautiful.I don't know what else to say other then "Congratulations."

Sheer beauty and perfection!!

great job

I thought that was really lovely. After reading, I went back and read a few of your previous stories. While good, I think this one shows some growth and improved writing (I hope you take that as a compliment, as it's meant as a sincere one). Good use of flashbacks and/or dream sequences (I wasn't positive which), carefully descriptive but not overwraught details, and a good sense of timing. Nice job.

In the first(2nd in all techinicalities)paragraph you just *nailed* the essence of jess. And it all make just picture perfect sense, the way he stumbled across books.

Well done
