It would be helpful to mention more clearly that it's a High School AU. Some people like them, some don't, so it's nice to say so ahead of time.

Omg... this was so sweet! and adorable and wonderful and every positive word I could think of but my brain is not working because this was amazing and... yes...

Ah, but wait… the story of Elijah and Orlando is to be continued in ‘Crushed’s sequel, ‘Loved.’

yay! That made me insanely happy... because the story was coming to an end and I was all like... but the story, and the end, and what happens... and *pout*... but you fixed it all with one little sentence! LOL

Really, this story was unbelievably sweet... with just enough angst to make the good parts shine so brilliantly that my heart was racing and I melted, just a bit... you toyed with my emotions a bit, taking the two a bit deeper into their relationship and then pulling back slightly until it finally clicked and the sun shone and the birds chirped and there were rainbows in the air... beautiful :D (if someone had done something even half as sweet/shocking/lovely/etc at my school... I think I would die LOL)

Thanks for this... it really was spectacular :)

aww... OMG I think that was the best feedback I have ever gotten!! *grins* You make me SOOO happy! *grins* You make me want to write! So yes! I think I shall go work on the sequel! Yes! Do you happen to know any beta who'd want to work on it? I've been trying to find a good beta for 'Loved' and for a differnet (new) HS AU...

LOL! awww *blush* thanks! many many thanks for fic and being happy and yay!

Do you happen to know any beta who'd want to work on it?

I don't, sorry. I'm not really acquainted with very many people on LJ yet. I know my fair share but as to knowing anyone well enough to recommend them? Unfortunately, no.

But I do have a question. I've always wondered, what exactly does a beta do? (or what exactly do you expect from a beta?) Just edit for spelling mistakes and things that got overlooked/don't make perfect sense, plot holes, etc? I thought about trying it a few times but wasn't exactly sure :P

Anyway, thanks again! and keep up the beautiful writing (I promise I'll keep commenting!) *g* ♥

Well... for me a beta needs to do the spelling/grammer check and then thing with missing plot holes... but beyond that I'd like a beta who understands where my plot is going and such... and a beta who I can chat with and talk to about the story...

I could give it a go if you wanted... I'm pretty much always around at some point every day (although now that I've said that, I'll be hella busy for like 3 weeks LOL omg I hope not!) but I could try a few chapters and we could see how it goes...

If you want, otherwise I can spread the word and see if I can get you someone a little more... *ahem* experienced? :P
