Thank you! It's nice to know what stood out. :D

When I started writing fic, I used to write overly explanatory paragraphs detailing (and often repeating) what the character did to get to where the story started until someone advised me to just trust the reader and it's something that has stuck with me since. Since I don't like intros so I figure getting to the action is the best way to go. I am glad it works! :D
