Yuletide Comments

The following are the comments that were made to the original Yuletide post in 2009:

From: Sarasusa Date: 05/20/2009 You've put in a lot of effort over the course of your writing, and it shows--the story now feels streamlined, and parts hit me that I don't remember from before--the fact that Tom addresses the fear (relishing violence) that Andrew worries most about in himself. The part about Laurie's letter feels stronger too; I don't know if that's because you worked more on it or simply because it shines forth in the finished piece.

Reading your story is nudging me to pick up The Charioteer again for real--been so long since I read it cover to cover. :-)

In sum, hooray! Well done, and thanks for inviting me to beta.

From: Rubynye Date: 05/19/2009 This is realistically painful and full of earned beauty. I spent a lot of it wanting to slap Andrew, but by the end I was cheering. Beautifully done.

From: KindKit Date: 05/18/2009 Thank you for this lovely look at Andrew reconciling his sexuality and his faith.

From: True River Date: 05/17/2009 I love this - to know at last Andrew's thoughts and his self-searching...

LOL - I like very much that Mrs Kearsey's establishment is once again being frequented!

The kiss too, is beautifully described.

From: queen_ypolita Date: 05/17/2009 Oh, this is brilliant!!
