Very well written! A tad shorter than I had hoped, and the BE happened way too quickly. I would have liked to see more about reactions from others, more on her problems hiding them and how they felt in her hands as they grew (etc etc). A good story none-the-less, with a flavor of old-school BE with today's much better writing styles.

What an incredibly sweet story. Though I have to agree with Benji, a little more detail would have been nice, but it was very enjoyable.

A great change from the typical "genre" story. And, as the author's introduction states, it's romantic. The author has a good ear for the sentimental and the youthfulness of the protagonists is well-drawn. More detail on the BE itself would make this story a classic, but as it is, it's still very good. Excellent work, a fine addition to any library.

What a delightful tale. Very well done. Gentle, but enjoyable, and just as promised. Please do write some more.

Despite it's flaws, I liked this one so much that I gave the story a fairly strenuous read over.

I have a few general notes for here and a more detailed critique, if you want it, saved off on my hard disk, but no address to send it to. I've sent you a Private Mail on the BE Archive forum with contact information if you'd like some more input.

General notes:

You abuse "and" horribly. You can’t have sentences, except for dialogue, that go "clause and clause and clause", nor should you make lists of "item and item and item".

In the clause and clause case, you should limit yourself to two clauses per sentence or you risk losing less able readers. When you join two independent clauses (the clause has a subject and a verb, so it can exist as a sentence on its own) you need to slap down a comma before the joining "and". "Clause, and clause, and clause" is legal, but not recommended.

For the lists, proper formatting goes "item, item, item, and item"

Conjunctions like "and" should be used to start a sentence only when it’s needed by the story—that is to say, very rarely.

Virtually all of your dialogue has the same form: "Speech," said Speaker. "Speech." This makes for some fairly dull reading despite whatever charge there is in the dialogue. While said will be used most often, inverting to "Speaker said" helps when you can’t find a better fitting word than "said".

An excellent story even with the few gramatical errors and lack of varity (like Bill Pratt pointed out). The pace of the romance was nice, although it's difficult to judge on the pace of the BE due to the lack of discription. Which brings me onto my next point bra sizes, how big is a D cup? or an H cup? I've found the stories that use discriptions, "her boobs were as big as basketballs" are generally more enjoyable due to the fact that the reader can visualise the size of the mameries better.

Please write more.

Please give the authors feedback, I can not emphasize enough how important it is to them.
