Well firstly, I am sooooo tired after a very long evening (which turned into night and now early morning) of reading all the goodness that i missed in this fic, but boy was it worth it
Now on to the important part... After a good 18 or so months away from this board due to distractions such as finishing school, going to uni, work, getting my heart broken etc (although getting to see Amber at a Buffy convention also was part of the distractions so not all bad
), one thing finally brought me back here... That huge magnetic pull back to this place was my curiosity for how this fic developed and what happened between our beloved
girls... Seeing the last chapter i read before i disappeared was chapter 7 or so, i really missed out on lots of important developments. (note: wow i am so tired i don't think i am making much sense, bare with me, lol)
ANNNNYWAY, my main point amongst all this babbling is that you are such an amazing writer (and creative, intelligent, wonderful person) that your writing left such an impression on me that it never left my heart or thoughts, no matter how much timed passed... That's gotta be somewhat motivating for you to keep going with the next chapter (I hope)
And in regards to the last chapter, holy crap!
I don't think you could have made that much more powerful if you tried, it was amazing and that's what i love to see, coz it really is magic!!!!
Oh, one more thing that i just remembered while typing. When i was reading back at old comments I had made on here and your feedback on them, you said that sometimes you forget that there is more to you then just updates on this board. With everyone begging for updates, including myself (which, btw, is your own fault for 1) being so damn good and getting us hooked 2) leaving us hanging at such a bad place to stop!) i worry that you might start thinking like that again. I just wanted to remind you that you really are more then that. Yeah, sure you create magic with your writing (and other creative outlets) and we long to share that magic with you, but above all, the person that you are is highly respectable. I was such a youngen when i first joined this board (not that I'm that much older now
) and I remember looking up to you so much and being almost intimidated (sometimes giddy) when i saw a post of yours
So in short, you are great, your writing is great and we all want an update
(but are willing to wait as well)
That's enough flattery for now, me thinks
I heart you and this lovely, epic tale!
Oh and you probably don't remember me (I wouldn't if I was you, lol) so just letting you know, I'm not a random crazy stalker... much!
