Oo, Adds!
I shall be looking in again in a couple days. I have all sorts of last-minute college applications that are due in less than 9 hours, and so I'm rather occupied by that.

Oh, good luck with that. My sister's in the same situation. Where are you applying?

MIT, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, Stanford for now. I'll apply to some back-up schools a little later on.

Wow. All the Ivies, huh? Nice.

You should come chill with me if you end up in Boston.

Yeah, big schools. MIT's top choice, as I want to go into engineering, but my SAT scores are a few points below the average MIT freshman's.
And alright, if I do end up there, I will.
You happen to have NSM?

Yeah. My nickname used to be Smeezette, if that helps you out.

I really need to change it...
Well, good luck with all the school stuff. =) I apologize, there won't be adds for a while. Everything is so hectic right now, tons of work, midterms coming up, basketball...my life is kind of a mess. So yeah. Probably nothing coming for a while.

Heh. I'm feeling the same way. I haven't added for over a month. I'm still writing some hardcopy when I get the chance at school, but can't get anything typed.

Poor guy, he gets no luck.

XD.
Topic? Who needs stuff on topic, eh?

Anyway, finally got around to reading the previous page. Beautifully written. Either I'd forgotten your writing in the interim, or this is the best I've seen in this story. The imagery was nearly perfect, and in both scenes your two characters were incredibly easy to empathize with.
However, I felt that the part about Lucas examining his hands was a little cliche, maybe. It's something that I believe I see over and over again. I wouldn't get rid of it, since it's minor and not really part of the plot, but just be aware of little bits like that.
Also, it was a little hard to follow when you switched from Lucas's present situation to when he was trying to recall how he got wounded. Maybe a paragraph break, or something.

Again, well done.

Spectacular story. It riveted me. I read this directly after I read TDT2, so that's something like 130 pages of reading.
But damn, do I ever love it!
"He passed Gaven polishing his dented helmet; the old soldier waved and grinned, but Lucas just continued on."
I think this should be Gavin. It was awhile ago, though. When they were preparing for the battle, methinks.
Anyway, your works stupefy me. I left the title of a work I've just begun on TDT2, so if you'd like to check it out/review it, that would be awesome. =o
Only nine story posts so far, though.
Anyway, best wishes.
Wint
