Well I figure if you're gonna take the time to write such gems for us the least I can do is tell you what I like about them. :)
I dunno, I notice that I tend to give more detailed feeback on shorter stories and ficlets than I do on longer fics. I think it's because in a ficlet, the details are all right there in front of you. And since they're so short all the little things you love about the story is fresh in your mind when you go to comment. With longer stories, of course there are certain parts or details that I particularly love, but by the time I get to the end of the story they've faded somewhat and I'm mostly just left with my overall impression of the story so I tend to give much more simple feedback. Which sucks, I know, because our authors put a lot of time and effort into writing those stories and they deserve awesome feedback. I fail. I have a whole big back log of stories that I've added to my mems that I want to give ridiculous, gushing feedback on, but I just never seem to get around to it. /o\ EPIC FAIL.
So I'm glad I got to give you a little more detailed feedback b/c I really, really enjoyed these little ficlets.
PS. Brendon fanboying Ray and trying to give him chocolate, much to Ray's dismay, is one of my favorite little happy places ever. I would love to see your Brendon on the MCR bus. I would lay down money. Because Bob's not there to lay the smack down and so the rest of the boys are just completely flabergasted and have no idea what do with a Brendon. I can see Gee's and Mikey's faces in my head right now. And it is hilarious. Such a happy place in my brain right now.
