Fantastic bad first date story. Love the twist at the end.

You guys, I'm in literal awe. I've tried this sort of "yes and" kind of writing with a partner before, but this... this is amazing! Uncomfortable, funny, HORRIFIC, and all with a momentum that...

I adore this. (that opening paragraph tells [and tells and tells] me everything about that character, it's fantastic. The ending is glorious and the audacity to punchline it with that music...)

Basically: holy shit this is fan-fucking-tastic!

Thank you Fitz. It was so much fun to make this terrible thing come alive.

I can tell it was blast. In most other's hands your character's voice would be wholly indulgent--but in yours it's masterfully done. Same for Sandalore. I had so much fun reading/listening

Man, getting dissolved on a first date is rrrooouuuggghhh. That's usually like a third date thing for me. This was fun and wild and slightly insane! Loved every second of it!

You're not wrong! My body is a constant source of stress for me. I guess it wouldn't be so bad to exist without it.

This is amazing. So so funny. The music, the narration- highly entertaining. Also educational- corpus cavernosum- now I know, as does my Google history.

I snort-laughed so many times. Insensitive, I know, but self control is not an upgrade I’ve paid for yet. This was so intensely uncomfortable and weird and wonderful. You two are so amazing 🤩

We were definitely going for snorts. Its the new currency.

We couldn’t ask for much more than the snort laugh.

I laughed, I cried, I wondered why this doesn't have more engagement, I became enraged, I assumed calm, I ate benzos, soon I must sleep.
