After the last chapter I had no idea how you were going to carry on with this. But Sam's waking up in 2006? Oh noes. What will happen then?

Love Mrs Hunt (again). The interaction with her neighbour was just what we've come to expect from her.

[dakfinv]

Thank you!

If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise... ;)

Buahaha, it is true what I said - I love you. ♥

Ooh, I hope he does wake up in the future. How will you resolve the situation in 1973 though? It just gets worse... Especially as he has now regressed to four years old. Will he still think he's four when he wakes up in Hyde? That would be a bundle of laughs. Are you planning to end your torturing of him soon? I think you should just continue with it forever because then there will always be dramatic LoM fic for us to read. And because I doubt I'm going to get over my 'let us torture Sam! yay!' phase for a while yet. How can I when it's this good?

[dakfinv]

Aw thanks!!

I'm glad you have so many questions. I should answer them all, in time of course. I don't think I'll ever be over my yay Sam torture! phase. Even when I write a comedic bit I have to thump him. Sigh.

OMFG, this is... I... what? I am incoherent. I've been off the net for 3 days and it's obviously affected my LOM-strangeness tolerance levels. I think I'd better go and read the recent bits again.

You have an impressive imagination, and in some truly horrible way, this is all plausible. Well done!

[dakfinv]

Thank you! Sometimes my imagination does get the better of me, which usually means more bad things for Sam. I really should pick on someone else.

I... I'm close to tears! Do you know how rare this is for me with fanfiction? I cry all the time over books and movies, but with fanfiction, it needs to be a pretty spectacularly written character death. Yet now, you have me close to tears over something that isn't even physical injury! And I love it! I love 4 year old Sam in the loony bin. I love Gene coming to visit and having such a hard time. I loved the return of the missus because I love your missus! And I hope Gene brings the drawing home, and the missus finds it and wonders what the hell is going on!

Then I'm very happy if I brought you close to tears. Which is a very odd sound statement that I also feel I should apologize for. I'm glad you loved it! But I don't know if even the sad Wilson of doom can get me change my current course of action...

[culf]

I was loving my own emotional reaction, so don't feel sorry at all! If your current course of action involves more four year old Sam, and the Missus seeing him, I don't want to change it! I love this development!

You know I'm hoping he does wake up soon, because 1973/4 has become damned impossible for him (all YOUR fault! arrrggghh!!!). There is no way I can see that he can keep on there, after all this. Waking up to hellish torment for the rest of his life in 2006 might be a bit of a relief at this point...

Gene is just tragic, here, trying to hold everything together. In that sense, even when Sam wakes up, will he be able to live with himself? Oh hell, it's Sam Tyler: likely, not. :)

I'm very leery of WIPS but this one has drawn me in despite myself.

[dakfinv]

Well I'm very glad you've been drawn into my WIP. I promise I will see it through to the end, which finally appears to be coming somewhat soon-ish.

Thank you so much!
