This fic is the kind of good that leaves me with a lump in my throat and no words. Thanks so much for writing this. ;_;

You're welcome! Thanks for commenting! (I've writtlen too many depressing fics lately... I kinda want to go back and work on my less depressing fills, but that would be pretty weird after officially abandoning them, wouldn't it?)

[tj_dragonblade]

Well, 'angst meme' does kind of lend itself to depressing. ^_^;

I'd wondered if those other two long-term fics were yours - for what it's worth, I was really enjoying them. I'd love to see them finished, whether or not you keep posting them on the old meme. I really like your style and appreciate your grasp of character. ^_~ d

Thanks! I guess my fills are pretty easy to identify. If it's overly long, rambly and features Kakashi and Gai, it was probably written by me.

Anyway, I regret abondoning those fills now, but I really didn't want to go back to the meme - because it just depresses me now (not that I actually stayed away for longer than 20 minutes). Still, I've sworn to myself that the Angst meme will be the last one in which I'll participate.

So I haven't decided what I'll do with them yet. It'd be a bit of a shame to just leave them like this, though, since they're both more than 10 000 words long.

I'd say it's the grasp of character and engaging voice and (yes) focus on Gai and Kakashi that pings a fill as yours, but hey.  ^_^

I hear you - the meme comm seems kind of smaller/less active than it used to and it's...I don't know.  The kind of thing that usually works better with more people participating, y'know?  But it's somehow...it's like crack?  I keep telling myself I need to lay off it for a couple months, focus on my non-meme fics that aren't getting written, but somehow I keep going back month after month and picking up more prompts, some of which get written within the month and some of which just add to the WIP-pile.

In any case, if you do quit the meme, I hope you keep writing and sharing with the GaiKaka comm, because I really enjoy your work and I know I'm not the only one.  It would be a shame to leave what you've done unfinished when there's so much to it already, yes.  If the inspiration is dead, though, there's not a whole lot you can do.  But I'm selfishly hoping that your mention of wanting to work on them

Ugh, the meme's just kind of dead these days. I mean, I've written four fills for this round already and I know that, if I did leave a prompt, it probably wouldn't get filled. But it wouldn't bother me that much ( I primarily go there for inspiration and writing, not to get fic), if I hadn't had a falling out with the other mods. Although calling it a falling out is giving it too much credit. They just didn't talk to me at all. How depressing is that? I spent days on the archive and then they just cut me out of every decision. Then I stepped down and their reaction to that was literally nothing. To this day I haven't heard from them

[tj_dragonblade]

Yeah, it's definitely more about inspiration and impetus to write than 'getting fic'; most of the prompts I leave are the type that don't get picked up.  But it's really too bad about the other mods kind of disregarding you like that; I'm sure it rankles a lot.

In any case, though, I'm glad to see the jealousy fill back in production and being linked on the comm.  Saw the note about new chapter added, also, so I'm definitely going to stop by to catch up on it.  ^_^

Thanks for giving it a chance! I hope it won't disappoint.
