Bitter sweet and sort of melodic as it circles around and around in my mind. You've created something beautiful.

Sachita, thank you very much!) I tried to leave my email, but this site dont show it later. Thanks again and good luck in the works!

Lyle: Hey :) You didn't leave me an e-mail address to write back to, so I have to do it this way: Of course you can translate the story and post it in Russian. I feel very honoured that you like the story that much! Best wishes :)

Damn, it's very cool. I would like to translate this fanfic and post it on the Russian site. I do this?

This is a very sweet and well-written story. Great job writing it from Mason's perspective, but with poignancy as well.

Hello!

My name is Elin, and it has been quite a while since I read fanfiction, but a rewatch of some Dead like me today brought me back in. I gotta say, I love your work. You have the three qualities that I look for when reading a fic. For convineince sake I will now list them.

1. The ever so important, you geniually "get" tha characters. The dialouge feels right, the dynamic between them is right, the relationships between your characters feels organically built on what is already in the show. You just tweek the perspective a little, which is the whole point of fanfiction to me, to get that slightly altered point of view, while keeping the feeling of the canon.

2. You really have something to say. You have a story to tell, you expand the world of the show by making a characer richer (and that it happens to be my favourite is always a plus). That is, unfortuatly, not a guarantee. Sadly a lot of writers only write for their prefered pairing, or add plotlines and events to reach their own goals and desires with the story, rather than staying true to the tone of the show. Wich is fine for them, but not that interesting for me. I also really appreciate that you go easy on the romance, which is always really hard to pull of and hardly ever worth it.

3. Language. Now, I'm from Sweden, so english isn't my first language either, but from what I can tell you havn't only grasped the art of writing in a laguage that isn't your own, you tend to do it quite beautifully.

Keep up the good work, and I would be absolutely delighted to see another Dead like me, Mason-centric story!

(If I could maybe place a suggestion/request, something that centers around the actual act of the reap? I always found him very sympathetic in those instances.)

Finally, thanks for restoring my faith in fandoms, at least for now! I really appreciated your stories.

PS. Thanks for reading, now if you ever wish to replay the email I actually use is . Just thought I'd let you know :)

I love this. But then, Mason was always my favorite character on the show.

The last line reminds me of how I always would think how had he not died, Mason would have been in his mid-60s at the start of the show. I actually used to think about that lol.

I was really meant to be going to bed, but I just finished watching this series and I wanted me some fic and well... here we are.

This is nicely done. You have a nice grasp on Mason's personality and the theories on his childhood and sister are also very nice. I love the mention of things like how he regrets not asking if she was happy. That and the way he reacts to the thing with the guy George was with and their little conversation at the end and the little comments about George talking to herself... yeah. The little memories of London and the thoughts that Mason actually feels very old... it just seems very fitting to me. For all of his cheer and childishness, this seems to fit very well, particularly when tied to the clown episode.

My apologies, I'm rambling. I guess I'd just like to say I felt this caught a nice side of Mason, the thoughts on his past were nicely done and that last line has a nice effect to it. Great job!

Nice one. Great take on Mason's past. In retrospect, he did seem to be repressing a lot; perhaps the antics and inaneness were just a facade.

Way to go on making an unromantic fic involving George and Mason! Hope you write more. :)

D'awww, I liked this story. Although it didn't end with the typical singing and dancing; everyone's happy, it has its charms. v
