This is the kind of review that keeps me going...
My SAM stories have been racking up a decent amount of hits on AO3. The first one, "Dancing And Singing and Farting," will crack 400 in the next day or so. Not a lot for most fanfic, but I'm very pleased. There have been a few (very few) reviews, so it was a tremendous pleasure last night when someone reviewed each fic separately, and left this on the last one:
I plowed through all of the After Verse series in one sitting and I am not ashamed, hee. I just wanted to let you know how much I loved the whole series!! I just saw the movie for the first time today, and it blew me away. The roller coaster of emotions it takes you through are /intense/ but the movie was still funny and brilliant all throughout. And after I read your work, it made the movie even better for me, in some weird sense. It's amazing; it almost feels like this could be an extension of the movie, because it was so well-written and well-thought out. The way you wrote scenes and details throughout all of them, from the way Hank swam after Manny until his whole body hurt, to Manny singing Nine Inch Nails to Hank to calm him down while helping him get off. All of it was amazing, and your hard work and effort in making everything faithful to the movie's form shone through in each of the stories. It's a little sad that there doesn't seem to be a lot of fanfic for this ship out there, but I'm sure all of us shippers are glad you're here! This series was such a pleasure to read. 11/10 would read again and again forever.
Anyway, sorry for rambling! I just thought you deserved to know that this series is awesome and I bloody loved all of them. And when you write something new for the ship, know that one person is really grateful and appreciative of your work! Woot woot! *cheers you on*
