I just finished reading Christmas Rose (and appear to be the first one to comment on it)...<beckett>Oh Boy...</beckett>
I'm seriously impressed with the writing quality here - very good stuff... However, it occurs to me that you (Gryphon) are at least a literary Masochist - given all the hell you put your characters through (and with the emotion I picked up as a reader, I can only imagine their power as the author...). Don't get me wrong - it really adds depth to the characters and avoids the "Life's Perfect" syndrome so many other fics I've read (fan and otherwise). But damn!
I very much look forward to the next installment (hopefully very soon, since IIRC you said it was pretty much done in a previous thread), and the rest of the story as it's posted.
The volume of EPU work just keeps growing, and so does the quality. Bring it on! :)
