I especially like that as Dana starts to heal, her use of language gets more sophisticated.
I am so glad you got that. I was a little worried that people would think, "Gee, you kind of dropped the ball there with the Dana-voice towards the end." I have difficulty judging how people will read things like that.
Thanks for the feedback lady. I'm glad you liked it. It was a strangely gratifying story to write; I've never written anything like that within fandom before. I mean, I've written Drusilla, but Dana's voice is really not like Drusilla's at all, so it's not like a "hey, crazy person talk . . ." Yeah, I know. It's strange, but Dana -- especially at the end, when she's more lucid -- actually feels almost more like Lexi from "ALS." Because they both speak mostly in short sentences, and they have knowledge beyond normal perspective knowledge, and their cognitive development is not, really, at an adult level for whatever reason . . . so it was a really weird story to write.

AND I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW IT ENDS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA *VIBRATES*
