First, a gripe or a request. It's not really about the comments, except that it is about the comments. I don't really care if what I write gets commented or reviewed by tons of people, as the people who are commenting are quality peeps. So it isn't about the numbers. But if no one is reading Sounds on the ga_fanfic community, then I might as ( Read more... )

If you're really frustrated with the lack of comments, then don't post it.

As for the Der/Mer "I love yous" no, I haven't heard it again since S301 and the S3 finale. I don't think Meredith would have said it again, as does not strike me as the type to do that unless...well, it would have to be a special moment, and she already said it once and gotten dumped, so I would bet a whole lot she's not gonna say it again for a very long time. Derek's more free with his affections, but I think that particular phrase is held in reserve for emergency moments.

He actually said it in the trailer in "Desire" but it got lost, and then in the finale (when Mer blew it), but I'm pretty sure he hasn't said it.

And it's not so much the lack of comments, it's just a PITA if no one is reading. I'd do it for 1 comment, know what I mean? And since it was so long between the updates, I may have lost everyone here. (It happens.) All my favorite writers review me, so I really try not to take the lack of comments personally.

As far as the fallopian tubes thing, maybe they meant Cristina's right, Bailey's left. Derek has told Meredith he loves her a couple times. In the trailer, and in the finale. The way he says it, interspersed in conversation like that, sort of casual, but not, was enough to indicate, to me, that he says it a lot more than Meredith, who hasn't said it once since S2. Just... the way he said it made it seem not like the huge deal he made about it in S3E1. For it to not be a huge deal, he must be saying it. Right? Just my thoughts.

As far as reviewing Sounds, I do it on ffnet because that's my favorite medium for reading fic. I hate the site as an entity, but the format is the most logical, to me, and you don't have to go hunting for what you want. Would you prefer me to review over here? I'll do what you like the most :)

I just don't want to post over here if no one is reading. It clogs up people's friends pages and is a pain to put here. Keep reviewing at ff.net since that's where you read!

I figured out the I love you last night--trailer in Desire (where it got lost in the other messages) and finale (where Meredith bungled.) I'm thinking that's another place where they both could use an adjustment. (Derek's I love you's are often loaded--I love you, but can't breathe for you. I love you, but you have to let me in.) So many of their issues--almost all of them--they have mirror images of. And I don't want to get into how much I think Meredith is like Addison. . .(but she is.)

Ugh -- bite your tongue! Meredith is not like the Adder - ew.

I tried and tried to update Intern on that site and it wouldn't take it. I finally gave up. It is way easier to post on ff.net (even if it does get cranky occasionally) or on greys_backup. I adore your fic so please keep writing it and just let me know where you finally put it. I usually read on ff. It usually gives me story alerts and is the easiest to use.
