There is so much so-so (not to mention downright awful) alt Uber online, that you forget how really fine it can be if the writer has the gift: clean, shapely dialogue, emotional warmth, well-honed compositional skills. Looking forward to more of the same! - paedagogue - Oct-23-2007    Very well written story. Highly, highly recommend this gem.

This is really really one of the best stories, published or not, that I've ever read in my life. It's too bad it's left unfished. I just hope that everything is well with Micah6. Even if you left me hanging so pretty bad, I have to say you're a really great, deeply thoughtful and funny writer. All the best to you Micah6. - Luie - Jul-20-2015    This so needs to be finished PLEASE CAN WE HAVE IT FINISHED .Hate when I read a story that is not finished teach me to look before I read .x - SD - Aug-12-2015    Please please please finish this it is one of the best stories i have ever read and i want more!!! - Anonymous - Jun-20-2016
