----------=BigCloset Retro Classic!=----------
Complete

Deirdre is trying really hard to deal with a lot of things that are all overwhelming: transition, starting College, a surly brother, parents who don't get it yet and a suicide event that haunts her. She is trying to pick up the broken pieces of her life and put them back together in some sort of order, but it isn't easy.

One of the most compelling stories I've ever read.

Thank you. A lot of heart

Thank you.

A lot of heart and soul went into this. This was my first real attempt at a novel and even tough it is a novella I learned a whole lot because of it. I am glad people get to enjoy all the traumatic fun all over again.

My only disappointment...

...with this story is that it's already in my "favorites", so I can't put it in there again (at least, not without some silly hunt-and-clickage of little meaning and much time-wasting). ^__^

So, really, not any disappointment at all! We wrote a bit back and forth about this one, Heather. I'm glad to see it pulled up for the "classic-ing" Sephy's doing. You deserve it! ^__^

I was really excited to see

I was really excited to see it pulled as well as I put a lot of work into the story. The responses I got from it's first run were awesome and I wouldn't mind more on this run, as I get a lot out of them.
