This was brilliant, baby girl. Losing a child is one of the hardest things that can happen to a woman. This makes sense though, in terms of who loretta has become. It makes sense on a really base level - in how she copes and in hope she treats Brendon. Their relationship. And the writing was beautiful, as ever.
Thank you.

And you're done? You're done!!! *celebrates with you*. I'm going through a hellish week of my own, but hit me up anyhow. I don't mind. Tonight even :)

ThankyouThankyouThankyou.

Loretta's actually been an awesome character to explore, which is really surprising given that she was originally just gonna be this sorta one-off character.

And yay! *celebrates back* I've been writing bits and pieces, so I'm gonna try and polish them a bit tonight and try and send them to you tomorrow morning. That sound alright? I'll try not to ambush you too bad if you're super busy.

Sounds awesome, actually. Tonight is good for me if it's good for you, I think. Just give me a time frame (and make sure to specify if its my time or your time :P).

Ahah, Brendon brushing his teeth? I dunno, can anyone make that entertaining? Maybe if something else happened, or maybe if the toothbrushes rose up and attacked. I don't know. ^^

You are too, too lovely, and I am sincerely overjoyed that you liked it.

*lovelovelovesback*

ps - sure! add away! I'm not on too much at the moment though sadly.

Gah. You just. God. Amazing. Lost for words over here. This is an incredibly delicate subject, and you handled it beautifully (like everything else). And yeah, I was kind of stalking your journal after I saw you'd commented on mine. But not in, like, the creepy-old-man way, since I'm not, you know, old. Or a man, for that matter.

See? This is what you do to me. I'm rambling on and on like an idiot.

It is an incredibly delicate subject, and maybe that's why it caused me so much angst. I was worried about it. I don't know.

And heheheh, you're not a creepy-old-man at all. *loves*

Thank you so much!

Okay, I swear I'm not stalking you, I was just going to re-read something, and when I saw this I went all: "Oooh, shiny!" and curiosity got the best of me. But I'm really glad I saw it, whether it be the result of stalking or luck.

This was... brilliant. I love Loretta, because she's just, guh, Loretta. Up until now I took her cynicism for being the outcome of the business she's working in, and like, being the "spin doctor" for someone in an industry where everything is scene-setting. But this.. this background-story makes it so much deeper, and real; that her cynicism was actually created form something brutal, painful and tragic and not just the media and all the deceitfulness, I s'pose. It's deeper than just what you see.
It also makes the strong bond between Loretta and Brendon make (more) sense. I really, really, really like their relationship.
You wrote this so well, but that's not anything new.

Oh and - Congratulations on finishing. :D

Hey, don't diss the stalking! Stalking is not only fabulous, but exceptionally flattering.

I think I've said above, but Loretta has proven an extremely awesome character to explore. I'm a really firm believer in nurture over nature, so I kinda like to think that almost every aspect of a person's character is shaped by something. That's where this stemmed from, I guess. (I really, really, really like Brendon and Loretta's relationship as well).

Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed.

^^ (I'm glad I finished as well. As of today, I am officially on school holidays. Two weeks off! Two weeks that shall be spent sleeping!)

!!!

AND TALKING TO ME! You can't have two weeks off and not have at least twelve billion conversations with me! :(

dawn_afterglow March 29 2007, 15:47:10 UTC

I miss you.

Sometimes, sometimes I forget that Loretta isn't real.

flash_indie March 30 2007, 07:14:08 UTC

Miss you toooo.

(Sometimes I forget too.)
