It might actually be a while before you see an update again. That's largely because I've decided to finish the last two chapters in one sitting. I know this one was a bit of a cliffhanger, but fourteen is going to be worse. And since I am notoriously bad at updating, I figured I'd give my readers a break by finishing this off in one fell swoop.

So even if it's a bit of a wait (and I'll try and write as fast as I can) just remember that you're going to be getting the last two chapters in quick succession. Woot woot woot.

Glad the gelphie smooching tickles you. (It tickles me as well.) =D Thanks as always for reading, babe!

*mwah*

Bed time now, I'll just go and check a few of my sites that update regularly before leaving my computer... great, now I'm going to be wondering all night what happens next, might as well read it now then...

Well damn, and just when I though I could not get more hooked on this thing I do. I'll give you a proper response tomorrow.

Good night

- Your sleep deprived and completely hooked on your story reader,
Iris

HAAAAA! Dood. Your incoherence is utterly charming. ♥

Bed thyself and thanks for reading! You have a good night as well.

[duskirises]

Now that don't have to fight to keep my eyes open here's what I wanted to say last night.

"Who do you think the charming brute is liable to shoot first?"

"Probably Fiyero," said Avaric, grinning. "He does have the look of a raping foreigner."

"If I go down, I'm taking you with me, you sick son-of-a-bitch," he replied.

This bit made me laugh, particularly the last line.

I love how her father dealt with Morrible, spat insults to her face and made it so she can't do much about it.

"So," he said in a lower voice, "which of these smirking bastards here has been making eyes at my daughter?"

Elphaba couldn't keep a straight face. "Oh, I'd say just about all of them…"

I was trying to be quite because the rest of my family had already gone to bed but you kept on making me laugh.

"It might improve our chances to become castratos with the Barrissian Opera," Tibbett offered.Once again making me laugh

[vampire_cookies]

I always always always enjoy writing scenes that feature Avaric, Tibbett, or Crope. They are an endless source of hilarity for me, so I have to share my love with everyone else. Woo hoo!

I love how her father dealt with Morrible, spat insults to her face and made it so she can't do much about it.

I liked the idea of Glinda's dad being an ill-tempered bastard that was just a wee bit uncouth. =D I wasn't terribly happy with the scenes with her father, so I'm glad that you enjoyed them.

Glinda says she doesn't remember anything, but I'm not so sure. If she still blames herself for 'taking Elphaba against her will' then she probably would not want to admit it.

That seems to be the popular theory, and I shan't contradict you. But if this were the case, why would she suddenly up and decide to smooch Elphaba, or invite her into her bed? Hmmmmm.

Glinda was well on her way to getting there with the dreams she was having.

Hee hee. I love when you comment. *twirls mustache*

Are her arms not tied down?HAAAAAAAAAAAA! Dammit all! I

I have been following this story from the beginning & have become quite attached to your version of these characters

[vampire_cookies]

*taps chin thoughtfully*

You're definitely getting ahead of me, o' great anonymous one. I won't say that your theory is 100% correct, but I'm more than happy to tell you that you're definitely on the right path. =)

I too believe in happy endings, but happiness is very subjective. Was that a vague enough answer for you? Hee hee. I am forced to get more and more vague with you kids.

[anonymous]

I think your story is remarkable. It's clever, amusing, beautifully written & the dialogue is just....WOW.

That being said I almost want to stop reading it for fear of an unpleasant (to me anyway) ending. My heart has begun to shatter after this last chapter.

If your story was a book or something I could read quickly I wouldn't care as much- but I've been on this ride with you for almost a year & REALLY don't want a tragic ending.

[vampire_cookies]

Aw, dood. You're killing me here! I'm already under a ton of pressure to wrap this neatly up, and then you go and throw your heart at me, begging me not to break it. *sigh*

You are so incredibly sweet. Believe me when I tell you that I'm going to try and give my readers a perfect ending to this story. It might not be the ending you'd hoped for, but that's what makes it exciting-- right?

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I've started this pile of crazy. That is quite a ride indeed. I'm amazed so many of you are still with me! But if you've managed to stick it out thus far, do you think you'd be willing to hang in there just a little bit longer?

*adopts most pleading expression*

[runawaytrain31]

Bludgeon the woman while she slept in her monstrous bed?

This is my favorite part.

(Well, not really.)

(But kind of.)

[vampire_cookies]

Babe, you are way too easy to please.

[aelisa]

First and foremost, I would like to say that I likes a stunning portrait of Glinda’s former, more amiable self. Aelisa might get one for her bedroom ^.^ A nekked one, perhaps… Maybe featuring a green hand doing filthy things to pale one. Hmm.

I LOVE CROPE AND TIBBETT. I've never really seen a writer in this fandom tackle them, and definitely not get them spot on, but you do. Mwah. This line: "Nice to see that a spirited disposition runs in the family," - literally made of awesome, much like: “We weren't simultaneously threatened by her father with forcible castration for nothing!” - just... <3

[aelisa]

p.p.p.s - I'm still not accepting that there's only two chapters left. Nope.

[vampire_cookies]

Oh, how I love to read your comments. They make me smile so stupidly. I'm smiling pretty stupidly right now, but that's partly because I'm hepped up on painkillers. Just got back from a week of vacationing and wugh... many unhappy times for teh Cookie body. I'm actually typing this with one eye open at present because I SEVERELY JACKED IT UP.

*takes a bow*

Honestly though, the pain is so much more bearable when I have such awesome crack to come home to. =) ♥

I likes a stunning portrait of Glinda’s former, more amiable self. Aelisa might get one for her bedroom.

Dirty tart. Of course you can have one. But Glinda insists on being fully clothed. She isn't a prostitute Meez Aelisa. *tsks

[aelisa]

HAAH! Unhappy times for teh Cookie body = happy times for teh Cookie? I hope so, anyhoo, even if you are deliciously mean to us poor readers ;] I'm glad my comment helps ease the pain, Miss. That is part of the reason I'm replying now... but it's mostly becauseIwantsyuourbabies *hides
