"I really like the way you write. If this were printed, I'd highlight my favorite sentences because you describe specific actions well.This is my first Life with Derek fanfic.
Granted, I haven't read your entire fic through. I skimmed a few chapters - starting with the last one - because this was updated years ago and I wanted to know how/where it stopped (whether it be a cliffhanger or not) before I invested myself in it. Although angsty, which I'm not a big fan of because depressing fics really break my heart, I definitely want to give this a read, starting back from the beginning, just because the characters seem so in-character and this story is well-written. I can imagine the characters saying their lines (maybe because I am hearing their voices in my head as I read the dialogue after coming from watching Life with Derek episodes).
It is regrettable that this fanfic is no longer getting updated (as if it were dropped). I really dislike it! But lucky for you, your writing drew me in to where I'll give it a read - and stick it in my favorites - nevertheless.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed what I have read so far and I do hope you complete this story. If not, well, I can deal with the last chapter because it isn't much of a cliffhanger (which I thank you for).[1]"
"Wow,this in my opinion is the best story I ever read on fanfiction. I'm not kidding, this story is just amazing. I adore the idea, it very relastic and you have the characters down perfectly. I'm not really a fan of Dasey, but I'm really enjoying them in this story. The emotion is so real, I was crying hysterically in a couple of your chapters.[2]"
