Really excellent. I'm going to give you me concrit now. If you don't want to read, that's fine. But I have to write it because your work is so very fine. The song quotes throughout do not add to this already superb story. Rather, they detract from it, pulling the reader away from your excellent prose. It might be appropriate to place a small quote from the song at the top of the story, but I don't think you even need that. My suggestion: edit out the song quotes. You don't need them. The story stands on its own.
Nope, I'm all for concrit. And I really kind of agree with you. I've been debating removing the song myself for much the same reasons. As I said, it was my first Spuffy fic, and the song was what inspired me to write it, so I felt the need to include it. Plus, I'd seen other authors do it, so I thought that's how it was done. But now, whenever I read other stories that do the same thing, I generally just skip right over the lyrics, thus negating their purpose anyway. Thank you for reading and enjoying, and for your suggestion!
