Well in the sense that it ever has been expressed that a good author leaves the readers wanting more, you've got that one covered. Yet I recognize that it's not intended to be the case with this certain story being a vignette. So I'll just have to find some contentment in reading some (or all) of your other works I guess.
My one criticism involves the fact that I think too much. So how it was that Max decided to come into Logan's apartment by way of a window on a rainy night (instead fo the alternative as was expressed) escapes me. I'm my own victim here you see from having watched the Pilot recently and don't want to believe that she's using the same method as she did then.

Hey there! I finally found time to sit down and start to read all your new stuff. O.K., I know most have these have been up for a while, but they're new to me. Excellent imagery! I could picture that vignette with such clarity that it really struck me hard. I know I've said it before, but from someone who values the power of good description, I really think you have a wonderful knack for sketching out a scene and this is no exception. Terrific work.

I think that what makes this vignette so effective and memorable is that it's clear of cliches. I mean, you're dealing with rain, here, and it's easy to fall into that trap, but you DIDN'T! :)

I liked "Grouchy Smurf", "Palindrome", and "Indigo sky" the most.

Nice metaphors in here. "A hundred, a thousand men, growing smaller and more distant with each reflection...." I just love this!

Wonderful job, Jude.

I was just smiling at the comparison of Logan and grouchy smurf when your image of the pallindrome hit me-almost like walking into a plate glass window. I've always loved the water on glass imagery in season one, but you've given it a whole new twist I never dreamed of.
All I can do really is echo the feedback you've already got on this story-it's classic Jude for sure. The progress from Logan's isolation-to Max's unnoticed presence-to his pause before he says "You should have picked the lock" is wonderful (and what an inspired line at that point.) Finally the breach of isolation and the mutual reflection brings this piece to a deceptively simple resolution. (Think I've mentioned before how I love the deceptively simple surface of your writing, not to mentioned being sucked into the depths below.)
I'm rambling-but I think you get the point: I liked it!

Logan as grouchy smurf! tee hee hee
good fic!

You have a beautiful writing style; I really enjoyed this one - short, but oh-so-sweet. Picking up on the reflections was a very creative perspective, poetic, in a sense. Awesome piece!

*sigh* Jude fic on ff.net for my reading pleasure...what could be better? =D

Well I kinda already told you how I felt about it, and everyone else who's read it probably feels the same way I do. LOL. And I'm not sure how many different ways I can say how amazed I continue to be by your writing. The imagery in this is so evocative, so poignant, so vivid, it's just a pleasure to read -- left me with a lovely m/l feeling and left me wanting more.

Wonderful. You say so much with so few words. I especially loved the reflections imagery - first Logan reflected multiple times in the window and his glasses.and then Max seeing herself reflected in his glasses. To me the relfections of Logan symbolized the complexity of this character and the layers that were so evident in him. And Max discovered so much about herself through Logan's perception of her. You converyed all of that in just a few sentences.

Intersting how once he turned and saw Max the atmosphere of the romm seemed to lighten. Rahter than the gray gloomy rain I got the feeling of a cozy warm world seperate from the reality outside.

great job! i loved it.
