Oh dear. My first ever fanfic, The Problem With Love.

Alright. This is it. After ages of reading fanfictions and writing ones in my head, I've decided to bite the bullet and actually write one down. This idea was inspired by Brandywine's Arsonist Challenge. I'll admit it, I've been creeping some of your fanfictions, guys. I can't help it, you're all amazing writers. I must confess, though, that I only

What's with the fear factor? You're among friends! That being said, it's always an overwhelming feeling to take a risk of any kind, but I, for one, am very glad that you made the leap.

My god. I think I may have just peed myself a little! (Haha, not really, I promise.) I've read enough fan fictions to realize how respected you and your opinions are and how in depth and just generally excellent your comments always are, and I feel honoured that you read, replied to and enjoyed my writing! Thank you so much

I especially agree that Ryan did all the work in making their friendship happen. Without his insane amounts of patience with Seth, it never would have happened. Thanks again for reading!

Thanks for giving me so much to think about- and ramble about until you were bored to tears instead of peeing!

And Seth would have gone for the one-sided "pay attention to me, me, me" sort of friendship, but without someone like Ryan, that would have lasted about a day- or an afternoon...
