Re: Hello!

Ladies and gentlemen!
*turns to whatever audience is reading this*
THIS *points above* is what I call a COMMENT.

*big big bear hug*

I LOVE your review. Thank you for taking the time and effort writing it (you don't sound not-native english the least) ^^
I appreciate such reviews because it gives me a picture of what people like and dislike.

(And you didn't see me climbing a rock hill in the glaring Sun of 39°C on Rhodos yet.)

I know what you're saying. I have thought about it too, but thing is, I wanted to give some background to the whole arc. Another thing is, this is a Shinpachi/Sanosuke 30kisses challenge. I have to get a theme, a kiss and a prompt into one chapter. Also, for the SSL arc of this challenge I have reserved myself 15 shots. The other 15 will be anime (and post-anime) setting. Seeing what everything I want to put into the SSL arc, the possibility that the chapters will be short is drastically low. I promise I will try. I am annoyed with myself for not being able to cut it short and I understand that it can be tiresome for the reader. Actually I don't even have a problem with writing short chapters. But somehow, I have a problem with it in this arc. Because something deep inside of me wants to write long chapters, wants to make this challenge worth.
I know it's stupid, but I would regret it if I wrote a short chapter on this arc.
I promise I will try to cut it the shortest I can with both of us being satisfied.

It's a shame, but since this is a challenge on one specific pair, I can't focus on Okita and Saito too much, but they will get their parts.
As for what caused Okita's troubles...Since you wrote such a nice review, I'm giving ayou a hint: I take my ideas and inspirations in the anime and historical background. ^_~
I've been thinking about focusing on just one topic too, but then I would have to leave out many interesting things I have planned (because, you know, limit: 15) and yeah. *sigh*
I understand what you're saying, though. I am bothered myself by it.

Thaaaanks~ ♥
I aim to please. I strive to make them all in character and portray their relationship the most interesting way...and yeah, I would totally trade with Shinkawa-chan (technically, I COULD, since she's my fictional character...
Sano: You and your reviewers are always welcomed to watch. I don't mind *grin*. Though, I can't speak for Shinpachi.
Me: Thanks. I think he might enjoy the voyeurism ~_^
Sano: *smirk* You give me some ideas...
Me: Perv.
Sano: Natural redhead.)

Ignore that, please. Just my twisted little world breaking out of me.

Ahahaha...that passage was a random inspiration I got during a train ride. I was cute so I left it there, even though it was one of the unnecessary parts and could have erased it. But I liked it way too much to do that. And seeing that you are the second person who tells me that they liked it, I see it was the right thing to do ^^

Thank you very much, I'm going to need it. ^^

I will do my best and thanks again for this wonderfull review. ♥
