Haaaa~ Finally caught up, after a long night, (and only somewhat shorter day) of reading. My eyeballs hurt, I have a growing headache, but my fangirlish spaceheart is so happy that it could burst right out of my being. X3
I hope you realize; You have yourself a brand-new stalker~ Nothing you can do for it now.
I'll join everyone else in waiting with baited breath for the next chapter(s). Especially with all of THIS going on~ How can I not be excited about 17?

Honestly? I just want to spout crazy, incoherent blahblahblah by rolling all over my keyboard, that's how much I'm loving this effing brilliant creation. But I don't want to break my keyboard, and I'm pretty sure you'd have a hard time trying to translate, "skduhgwiothWIDGUHwirwhgkskgtewhg!!!" So... I'll refrain.
I guess I'll have to bide my time by reading more of your Dan/Rory treasure trove~ (and probably stay up late drawing until my poor little fingers come off, too.)

I can't possibly convey how awesome I think this story is, without sounding redundant, hysterical, creepy... So I'll just settle with;
This is the absolute BEST fan fic I've read EVER. Not just saying to be nice. 'Tis ever so true~ *happy dance*

I seriously have noooo idea how to reply to a comment so big haha. So I guess: thank you, I'm seriously honored. This fic in particular has been a labor of love and I'm so glad it's still standing up - I'm writing it in such disjointed pieces that I worry - and that it was enough to inspire marathon reading sessions!

I will go back and reply to some of the stuff from your other comment there, but, I hope you stick around and explore some other peoples' writing on LJ too, it's a wild and crazy and super talented fandom, and I've never felt so at home. :)

Eheh... I do kind of type a lot. I wish I had half this drive when I'm actually trying to write something. lol
I have to admit (because I'm always hesitant about joining new fandoms, for some reason) that I'm really anxious to see more stuff like this. From you, and from others. Sometimes I feel entirely too picky about the fics I read, and think that I might be missing out on something awesome... But then again, I've read some things that make me feel pretty justified in being suspicious. XD;
Hum. Point being, I'll put aside my generalized fanfic bias, and take your advice to go a-hunting through LJ's Watchmen communities~ I'm becoming more and more convinced that I won't be disappointed. :)

P.S. Reading "Now, As Before"~ No. I haven't actually stopped reading after chapter 16. Just moved on to another story. XD
Sleep is probably not a thing that's going to happen tonight.

If you like big epics, I'd recommend i-am-your-spy's Ordinary World series and scarlet_carsons's 'Last Days of an Unreal City'. daylilymoon has an amazing Western/coyboys AU and a lot of other stuff as well, steals_thyme is amazing and is all over the gamut content-wise(some adult, some not), and brancher has some amazing stuff that's almost all porn but good god is it well written. radishface at daikontime does both art and fic but her fic is amazing, the China AU in particular is like, holy crap wow.

There are actually a LOT of AUs in this fandom that are amazing. Zombies are by far one of the least cracky, but they're all fantastic. XD

(The zombie AU, btw, goes ON AND ON. It is a sprawling monster. Have fun. XD)

Oooooh, thank you for making some recommendations! I was fully prepared to spend a couple hours digging, but your opinion on the matter will certainly spare me. I'll be sure to check all of these out. right now, I feel like my brain is at some insatiable point of no return, lol. I can't seem to watch the movie enough, or stop listening to the soundtrack, and I'm sure I'll steal the comic from my friend later this week. Of course,those things are kind of static after so many reads or watches...heh. I love good fics, like this one, because it offers MORE of the characters, but it's all something NEW. I won't sit here and think to myself, "Oh, it's this scene again. Bah. Why do I keep expecting something different to be here?"

Er... I'm sorry. I talk so much. D: I hope that's not coming off as utterly annoying.

Anyway! Thank you again for the recs~ I'm glad I have myself a lovely pile of things to read. X3

I knew I'd forget some(I'm a wee bit dr0nk tonight): sandoz_iscariot for some brilliant period work, and quietprofanity at quiprofanfics for one of the most depressing but brilliant anti-fixits ever written(The Gilded Cage).
