You're so so good. This is wonderful.....I can't believe how sharp and vivid and addictive it's become.
This is a fine, fine compliment and I'm so incredibly grateful.
Sad that Xander gets it and doesn't want to get it. I'm glad that point came across in this part. I really don't want a black/white Xander--either one that's oblivious to his own emotions, or so mired in them he can't function. I want a Xander who makes conscious choices to deal/not deal. Maybe a little dysfunctional with the not WANTING to deal, but still able to choose.
I greatly appreciate the detailed feedback, it helps me see the writing from a reader's perspective instead of always from my own. Thank you again. And I think I might have part 6 up later today, as the muse is on a roll.
