Unsettled, you have no idea. When I see I've got a comment from you on a fic I always leave off reading until I can settle down with a good, strong cup of coffee and really savor it. God damn, your feedback is sublime. The points you make and the things you focus on and...gah, it just makes my day.
As for the 'our bed' question. Oooh! I missed the ambiguity of the speaker there (I could do with a beta really). Now...I think I want to change my mind on who I intended to be talking, haha. *shifty eyes* It was Coward actually. I sort of like the idea of Blackwood saying it now, but yeah, part of Coward's frenetic fragmentation (as you delightfully put it).
Love hearing favorite lines. Did not expect that one actually! Though you know I believe it's impossible for writers to really know what's a good line in what they're writing. (Actually, I have this sneaking suspicion that any line I think is really good would probably not be one of the stronger ones. For writers in general as well I mean. If you're really happy with a line it might come across as just overwrought in the actual prose, too satisfied with itself, just a little bit too pat. Hmmm.)
Greeks! Heehee! Oh dear, I had this whole other thing thing with the garden of the Garden of the Hesperides and Ladon but it was just getting ridiculously self indulgent. I love how the Victorians were so obsessed with antiquity though.
And you know why you write. Because you're a writer, duh, and you couldn't stop yourself if you wanted to Because we would hunt you down and tie you to your computer if you considered stopping. Don't even try and be self deprecating, bro, you've got mad skills :D
