Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Instant classic as far as I'm concerned. I appriceate your adherence to realism (as much as possible that is), and how you keep the characters within "their lane." By this I mean, I believe their actions and how they interact with one another. She is nervous at first, but becomes more comfortable (slightly with time) in her handling. He points out how its uncomfortable at times etc.
I'm with Little Romance, hoping that something more comes of their relationship as the story presses on, but would also understand how that wouldn't fit the characters.
Also, thanks for a gentle story, it's my favorite, in general, and seems to be an outlier within the community. I hope you explore the topic more in the future and share with us!
One further question, are you also "iBelore" on deviant art? Would be interested in picking your brain on the collaging you do (I like the style and want to get into it myself).
Author's Response: Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy to hear you liked my story.
Yes, keeping their personalities consistent throughout the chapters was my biggest concern, but I hope I managed to do just that. And realism too, as you pointed out. I enjoy stories that are, more or less, believable and I strived for mine to be such.
More gentle stories to come, it's the genre I feel the most comfortable at.
And finally, yes, that would be me. I'm not sure how I could help you, but I could offer some advice. Do note, my collaging skills aren't that spectacular, so if you wanted to learn something more than upper basics, you will probably have to refer to specialized guides. : ) Either way, if you need help with that, ask away.
