I like denial! And angst! *rolls all over it*

This is very, very well-handled. I like it a helluva lot.

I have Harry Potter bandaids Hee hee! *is five*

It feels very real and natural - not the instantaneous one-kiss-converts-from-straight-to-gay slash that's often written. They just act like guys, and that's so good.
I like the out of synch structure, too - it creates a lot of extra oh-noes-it's-going-to-turn-out-badly tension.

*licks fic* Realistic denial is so my crack, even if it's Afflection. Mmm.

*<3s you OMG*

Thank you, honey. I'm actually feeling all happy now this is finally posted. I'm all bouncy and full of ideas for the next episode. I'm not ready to start writing yet, as it needs a bit more thought, but I'm really looking forward to it. I have all these *terrible* puns in my head that the boys are saying to each other. I keep snickering and Scot keeps looking at me funny.

Although obviously I have an ego the size of a small moon, because I thought more people might have things to say about this ep.

*shrugs*

At least I can reply to everyone properly without feeling overwhelmed :)

You know, the more I write, the more I'm falling in love with non-chron. Did you see BSG last night--the Starbuck episode? Brilliant, brilliant writing!

*feels a fic coming on*

*clings* It's just that there aren't so many people who read Damon/Affleck, and when you then subtract those that can't be arsed to review, there's a small pool. It doesn't say anything about the writing quality! *patpats*

No BSG here - NZ! Out of synch with you, alas!

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3!

It doesn't say anything about the writing quality!

Oh, I know. Believe me, I've long since given up trying to work out what people leave feedback for. There seems no rhyme or reason to it. I've written stories I was *sure* were gonna get spammed with comments, and they got barely a handful. Others I expected to sink without a trace got two pages worth.

I just thought this one might get the type where people were chatty--not so much with praise, but just engaged. You know? (But then, I thought that about Elijah's Collection 3 as well. Ha. So, so wrong!)

And I was right about DD4, for once... I just thought it'd be seven or eight people, rather than four :)

Anyway my philosophy on comments is: it's always nice to get 'em, but don't worry if you don't. It's all about the joy of the writing.

No BSG here

That's such a shame. I thought you might have it in sync with us (so much is ;). When it gets there, have a look. I'm loving it.

*clings back like extra-tough Glad Wrap*

[jocondite]

*clings with industrial strength* I do love it.
And I kinda lured someone into reading Matt/Ben the other day. Linked them to your fic and recs. I believe she's planning to write some. <3

[cupidsbow]

I believe she's planning to write some.

Yay. Go you with the fandom pimping!

*tattoos love on you*

*so there! one-up that, ho*

/five

[jocondite]

It was accidental! *doffs pimp!hat*

*puts microchips encoded with love under your skin*

I surrender!

[cupidsbow]

*re-engineers your dna into l-o and v-e pairs*

I accept your surrender. My first command, as your new Overlord of Fangirlish Love, is to finish writing the Lotrips and Afflection stories you promised me.

*cracks whip*

<3

[jocondite]

Yes, alright, you won there. *pouts*

I obey your wishes, Overlord. [Overlady?] I'll probably post something tomorrow. This moment, it is St Patrick's and I'm a bit fuzzy! As I've probably made obvious, whoops. And I'm going out soon! But tomorrow, SOMETHING.

*<3s OMG*

[cupidsbow]

Have a good time, sweetheart.

*rubs hands in expectant Overlordly glee*

*hugs*
