Fic: How to Love a Madman

Feb 12, 2008 04:02

I'm doing that 'posting somewhat prematurely' thing again, because I'm still waiting for icudoc to give his final okay on my use of medical vocabularly in this (and also, I'm still marginally unhappy with some details of the poem section), but I'm frustrated with uni stuff right now and finishing a fic and *getting it out there* seemed like a good cure ( Read more... )

WOW. This is amazing, and I'm really flattered that you wrote it for me. What a magnificent present!

You made me cry... and I love you so much. ♥

I'm so glad you like it! :-) hmpf February 12 2008, 14:26:00 UTC

Sorry I made you cry, that wasn't really the intention of this piece! (I'm not sure what this piece says about me - I mean, I wrote it with the intention to cheer you up, yet it still came out angsty... Then again... we like the angst, don't we? ;-))

This is brilliant, deeply moving - and well worth the wait for you to polish and post it. I hope I eventually see some more of your writing!

Thank you! hmpf February 12 2008, 14:27:36 UTC

I really hope I'll be able to finish at least one more LoM fic this year. I'm deeply in love with all of my bunnies in the fandom at the moment - but also kind of stuck on most of them... arrgh.

This is wonderful. Beautiful and as neuralclone said, very moving. It really was worth the wait, and I look forward to seeing it appear in the community! : )

Thanks! hmpf February 12 2008, 14:30:16 UTC

As for the wait... heh. This was the second-fastest bit of writing I've done since 2002... three months is nothing! ;-)

Re: Thanks! scotschik February 12 2008, 16:46:24 UTC

The waiting comment was more to do with the fact that most LoM fic appears without knowing the person was writing it, so when you would mention this piece and its near-completion, I would once again glee at being able to read it soon (especially as I loved 'starving on the jump down' so very much!)...
Having said that, I am also a very slow writer, so hoorah for 'fast' fics! ; )

You already know I love it. ;)

You weren't kidding about turning nocturnal! hmpf February 13 2008, 03:37:36 UTC

(Or are you already adapting to the Korean time zone? ;-))

Re: You weren't kidding about turning nocturnal! beccatoria February 13 2008, 19:23:30 UTC

Well, that was late even by my standards, but yes, I am just becoming nocturnal. Not really sure why. I think it's in rebellion against...something. I think it makes me feel like I'm hiding out in my treehouse and refusing to come in for dinner.

Petty acts of rebellion can be very soothing in terms of reasserting some sort of control? Especially when your entire current life plan consists of moving to the other side of the world largely because...it's the other side of the world? And when you're living out of boxes and trying to keep your husband sane because he keeps having flashbacks to living with his parents?

It's...interesting. ;) I mean, I'll be okay, but I think that staying up until 4am isn't really a problem in the scheme of things. And yeah; I see from your date stamp that you agree. :p
