    I don't really have much to add here... I mostly just feel compelled to do an 'inb4 featured' comment.

    I'll have to give the first chapter another look later, when I've got the time to read it... well, properly, I guess. For now I'll just stick with the standard "I like the story, keep doing what you're doing" thing. Oh, and just pretend that I threw in some generic MOAR picture.

    Good work, etc... and this reminds me that I still need to drag myself around to reading the second half of Anthropology. :ajbemused:

    Alright!  I'm glad to be seeing more of your work Jason, you were inactive for a while and I was getting worried that Anthropology had been your one hit wonder.  

    So far, this fic is pretty damn good!  I like how Bon-Bon is ripped from her comfort zone, and into Lyra's!  I've also noticed that you have added a lot more detail in your descriptions of settings and actions than in your previous fics.  I hope you can keep this one alive and fed, and a word of advice, don't set chapter dates.  Don't rush yourself in getting the chapters out, take your time, and give love to the chapters you do complete.  

    Try to use some more complex sentence structures, and show us the emotions of the characters when they're talking.  I noticed a lit in your

    past fics, that a lot of the time, the it would be:

    "That would be great!" Lyra said.  

    Try doing this: "That would be great!"  Lyra said, her posture relaxing with relief.  

    One example from the story is when Lyra says she heard something:

    Lyra's ears perked up. "Wait. Did you hear that?" She glanced behind her into Bon-Bon's room.

    "Hear what?" Bon-Bon said.

    "Listen."

    This could be changed by adding details like:

    Lyra's ears perked up, and her head cocked slightly.  "Wait.  Did you hear that?"  She glanced behind her into Bon-Bon's room.

    "Hear what?" Bon-Bon asked, her annoyance towards her tennant showing.

    Lyra put a hoof to her lips. "Listen."  She whispered, her head lowering slightly in an effort to hear the unknown sound.

    It really fleshes the characters out more, and gives us a clear picture of what the they're doing.  I hope this fic turns out as good and as well recieved as Anthropology, I know you got a like and a fave from me!

    Nah, it feels more like the old poltergeist movie, because so far nothing overtly aggressive has happened, just mischievous.

    Getting a poltergeist feel just like most everyone here. All that's needed now are chairs stacked on the table and it'll be complete. Only THEN would I want to see their house implore on itself! But I'm getting ahead of myself. It's good to have you writing again Jason. Anthropology was and still is one of my favorite fics. Looking forward to what's in store for this one.

    On the subject of the story.

    very good.Some nice jump scares present,can't help but feel it would be more impactful as a video,but I'm not going to complain.

    It's been a while since something has been able to instill a good fear of the paranormal in me.I will report on my paranormal visions and other such paranoia as the story continues.

    Lovely to see another story from you and I'm anxious to see more of it. I do wish your Lyra was just a tad more weirded out though and maybe Bon-Bon was the excited one about ghosts just to do a reverse of the normal Lyra/Bon kind of relationship and manias but still looks like this'll be fun.
