I've wasted enough time not updating, and for that I deserve every brick, so without further ramblings, here it is, an update. Enjoy throwing tomatoes at me Title: Retribution Eighteen
( Read more... )
ARRRRRR! Silly Livejournal! That wasn't meant to be anonymous, lol! So once again, properly:
My dear,
I wasn't here for the majority of these 7 years, but since you welcomed me as a guest to your journal it has been an absolute JOY, a PRIVILEGE and an HONOUR to come here and read the fruits of your unique talent.
Before this trilogy I was more of a Asami/Fei "invisioner" (still am, can't lie *g*). But I have EQUALLY fallen in love with this world you created out of the original, with this Mikhai/Fei chronicles, with every little detail you thought of (like the Cartier bit, the brand of cigarettes, the opera in the forbidden city...). I read all this and I could SEE them do all this, living in this fascinating world spanning halfway across the globe. Money, power, beauty, danger, passion, love. What an intricate, fascinating mix you created of all these ingredients.
I read a revew a while ago where someone said that this trilogy had become a part of their lives. I share this sentiment. I have loved coming here and I will CONTINUE to do so after the final chapter is all written, posted and digested. I will revisit many times.
But for now and before you are soon to be swamped by your admirers once chapter 19 is here... I would like to say: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heard. For allowing me to be your guest, for sharing your wonderful and unique talent and creativity, for building this world and allowing us to dive nose first into it, for making as get lost in it, for making us BELIEVE in it, making us believe in this love story.
I am sure that if the woman who originally brought most of these characters into creation had the chance to read and see with her own eyes what you have created here through the course of 7 years, she would be amazed at how much beauty has grown from her original ever since. She would be proud of you.
I know I am. I know we are.
So thank you for giving us something absolutely stunning and beautiful, something that always left us waiting for more, something that gripped our attention, tore at our heartstrings, enchanted us and enriched our lives.
We don't know each other. We have never met.
But I will always keep you and your beautiful story close to my heart. It is so special to me.
(I do it all the time, the anonymous thing. Who has time to login when you have something to say? ^_^)
I don't think anyone has been here for the majority of 7 years, I rarely see the early readers now, and there were so many in those days. I lost a big chunk of Fei fans after the ending of NT including some of my best friends on LJ who jumped ship and then another huge loss after FnR. But no matter how long you've joined us to fangirl over this pairing, you play a big part in pushing me to this point where I can finally finish their story. And as much as you may have enjoyed reading, I have enjoyed writing and exchanging comments tremendously.
I always say every Fei fan is an AxF, me included. I still kinda am in some ways which is why I keep coming to them trying to kill each other. I'll never be convinced that they would last as a couple, but they do make an unforgivably hot pairing nonetheless! MxF is more sweet and adorable, and YxF is sadly beautiful. What can I say, Fei is worth writing in any combination. He has made his mark on every man in the history of VF where he appears, Asami, Aki, Yan, Yoh, Mikhail, you name it. It's such a pleasure to be able to write him and such a sad thing to see him dropped from the main story.
As for this being a part of your life, I should tell you that this is the very first fanfic and big piece of proper writing I have ever written. I have written parts of stories before but could never finish them. The thought of writing for a living had never crossed my mind. And now I'm writing a book, an original, for the first time, and whether or not it gets published, the inspiration I get from comments like yours has given me another goal in life. It's a big deal and could never thank my readers enough for telling me I HAVE a story to tell! And that is priceless to me, even more so than being to sell anything. (What professional novelists get such a grand review every chapter? That's something money can't buy)!
Thank you again for your very touching comment. I will keep it with me always!
