rawr. And I thought I had dropped out of the lotr fandom. I love this fic. It reads perfect. I love Miranda and her insouciant ways. I love Viggo who's even laconic. and Karl! And the hobbit posse. I love that too. There's a kind of rhythm to the fic that I like.

I rather suspected I had dropped out of the lotrips fandom too. But then this fic, which has been trying to get written since May 2003, decided to make another bid for attention, and I actually gave it some this time. Funny old world.

Thank you ever so for the feedback. Especially for saying you liked the rhythm, since I poked and prodded and tweaked and quite agonised over the movement of it, and was still uncertain, so it does me good to hear it. *g*

Oh no! I used the wrong 'who*'! Pretend it says 'whose'

Dude, next time, please draw the diagrams and I will give you my address, oh yes, because the idea just fills me with squee.

2. If it makes you happy, dear. *pets* *G*
3&4. 4 more than 3. I think I mentioned that this was the closest I've come to an "evil" Miranda. I have this sort of awe-filled regard for her.
5. They were entirely not intentional. Like, they were not in the plan. And then I wanted to bring in the gossip as an element, and Orli and Dom showed up, and the whole subplot just unravelled in front of me.
6. That's the way Orli gossips, at least. I like to think the make-up girls devoted hours of hissed giggling to the topic. *g ( ... )

Well, if you want me to draw diagrams to fb you, you should RITE MOR OMG write more fic.
5. I love that the subplot got away from you. I don't know why. On the one hand, that's kind of wierd because they're your characters, you know? And on the other hand that's kind of cool.
6. I meant to say, I loved 'option c' or whatever it is, that had the makeup girls stumped for ten minutes. Also, do you think the makeup girls were forever making jokes about penis size compared to feet?
8. My love of this paragraph knows no bounds.
9. Stella's a bit wanky, at the same time as being, like, the VB of Belgium. In my head, it's like drinking Fosters. If a Belgian ever saw him drinking it, they'd slap him upside the head and tell him to stop being a freak.
10. Well, not as much as Orli is.
11. Huzzah! Is it chocolate? I like chocolate cake?
12. I will think on it. Perhaps the sleep will have done me good.

But for now, breakfast.

I like this. I like writing that's kinda circular, that starts and spins back on itself for a feeling of completeness. This was a good thing to wake up to on a rainy hungover morning.

I'm not sure whether Miranda is cheeky, or a manipulative little cow, but I like her :).

kezza.

KEZZA! hi. (Going to Canada won't have time for LJ my left foot. *G*)

Wheee, delighted you liked it. I'm glad you like Mir, too. Though I wasn't sure about that either. *g* She just showed up like that, and there's a certain respect gotta be paid to a character that strong.

Dude, I have free broadband at the current place, although I'm moving on Sunday. Of course I'm lurking :).

This is so different and so complicated it's emotionally a bit hard for me to read. I have to let go of my Mirs and see yours. Poor Karl.

It was different and complicated, wasn't it? She was different from my usual Miranda as well. I'm not sure if she's truly a nasty selfish thing, or if it's just the break-up messing with her head. Either's possible. I just know she showed up, declaring that she was going to give Karl to Viggo as a thank you, and that was that. Brazen thing. *g*

But yes, poor Karl. Although he did get to play with Vig. That's how I sold it to the Muse. *G*

Thanks for the feedback, love. Sorry for being contrary and complicated.

"I feel like I shouldn't feel this in control. I think I'm probably not. In control, that is. I think I'm in that place where I'm beyond caring about rules and things. It's all fine that I don't even know what I should and shouldn't be feeling or doing or--" She grimaced, and took a breath. "I think I'm dangerous."

That is it exactly.

I really enjoyed this, and was quite happy to see you writing Mirry again.
