This is NOT crap. This is fantastic. And it was meant for me, which I really appreciate! ♥ You should have these spontaneous outbursts of fic more often, if this is the result!!! :)
Glad you like it. I tend to agree now that it's not crap; that was just the insecurity of Posting Immediately After Writing speaking. ;-) It's still unfinished, though, and there are parts of it that don't quite work yet, and it hasn't really... jelled yet, on the whole. It does feel like something that will be finished soon...ish, though. And probably won't be my Best Work Ever, but then, not everything can be, right
( ... )
The bit I like best (and, knowing me, I'll have chosen the bit you loathe and never want to see again!) is this:
Your world,
and you just a piece of the puzzle.
I find it slightly brain-churning that Sam's there, desperately trying to piece everything together, but he's so much part of the conundrum that ultimately he doesn't stand a chance. It's a concept I've thought of exploring in fic, but so far the right framework hasn't come to me. Probably just as well for what remains of my sanity!
That's my favourite bit, too!hmpfNovember 20 2007, 01:50:47 UTC
It needs the bits before, too, though.
Yeah, poor Sam, caught in his own mental trap, so to speak. (There's a bit about self-built traps in this fic, too, but I'm not sure yet how well it actually fits in with Sam's character, really - that part was written mostly by my subconscious, methinks!) - Though this fic's really mostly about Annie. I'm usually rather of the mindset that 1973 is not real, which kind of makes the emotional state of the 1973 characters rather less important than Sam's, but if you entertain the idea that they're real, you really get struck by how frustrating it must be to try to have any kind of relationship (friendship, love, whatever) with a man who doesn't believe you're real.

Sorry. Rambling.
