Of course, shyness plays another factor. I do recall that when I posted some
C&C to you that I felt like I was trying to tell William Shakespeare how to
write plays.
Okay... that's the first time I've been compared to William Shakespeare.
I really should start charging for my fics now. :) Or get an audience
with the queen. :)
I try to make it a general rule that if I read a story and enjoyed it that I
write a letter to the author letting them know that their work was read and
appreciated, and also I offer some critique if I feel it's nessesary. It's
the only way to let the guy know that people actually DO read their work...
and golly gee, I find that usually they end up churning new chapters quicker
that way too!
Don't count on me going any faster that I am... :) But good C&C on the
FFML drafts does help speed up the editing of the final version and give
me time to write more first drafts.
As for C&C, I was halfway through doing some C&C for your latest chapter of
CMD when Win98 (bless you, Bill Gates) decided to take a cute little crash
on me. After I rebooted, everything I had written was lost. Out of
frustration (or perhaps laziness) I pretty much put it off, however I found
that, aside from a few rare typos and an issue I wanted to bring up in
regards to the Sanma/Ukyo scenes, the chapter was pretty solid.
See... this is why I hate Windows and Gates: They lessen the amount of
C&C I get.
That's why I use a Mac, it never crashes. ;)

Kasumi found her father cradling her mother in his arms. He
had run out of tears to shed long ago, but the expression on his face
told the story.
After several minutes of silence, Soun asked with a scratchy
voice, "Kasumi dear. Will you please say goodbye to your mother?"
"Of course, Father," Kasumi said. She stood up, took one of her
mother's hands in hers, and said a soft, "Goodbye, Mother. I'll keep
my promise."
