OMG. You can't resist a ficathon can you? I'm glad you can't!

You did WAY more justice to Bonnie than TVD writers. I love your Bonnie and your Matt. I tend to forget about him, but his life sucks in a mayor way... and then to be dumped :(

Tyler surprised me here! It's too bad we never get to see a side like this to him in TVD.

because Matt had come over earlier, had stood with her beneath the spray as she sobbed, carefully protecting her face from the water as he worked the shampoo through her hair, He would.

all Elena can think about is how her father used to say Caroline reminded him of an old Hollywood movie star, like Grace Kelly. Me too! Accola has a rare classic beauty *not jalous at all*

One of the best thigns about this fic is that your Elena is fallible, which makes her more human and relateble to me. How can it even be that she hasn't fallen apart yet?

Also, the friendship between these guys is beautiful to read. I hope the Elena/Bonnie/Caroline relationship gets more attention this season.

I'm trying to read and respond to ALL your fics... but I'll need to sleep at some point LOL. Is it ok if I add some of your newest babies to my new rec post?

You can't resist a ficathon can you?

I tell myself every time that I'm only going to respond to, like, 3 prompts maximum and then it just runs away from me! Despite how much I write, I usually have a tough time getting started, hence why I love the prompts.

I really need Elena to have some sort of breakdown. I refuse to believe that anyone is that well-adjusted.

Rec away! I'm always happy to be recced!

Please don't stop though! Have you ever thought of prompttables? Like at drabble123? I think you would love that. You wouldn't have any more time to sleep, eat or anything else, but hey...

I don't think Elena is fine. I know the show portrays her as that. But look at the choices she's made untill now! She's dating a dead guy. She was going to let herself be killed in stead of fighting tooth and nail! I don't think having no response other than going for a walk is well adjusted. She's ignoring all her feelings, probably because all of the drama that has been going on. Something tells me that once she realises she's no longer the centre of the universe, things will slow down for her and she'll realise that she's lost everything.

Are you still immobilized with your leg?

[lit_chick08]

Yeah, I started looking around for prompt tables just to get me started. I've had a couple of fics going for awhile that just haven't gotten polished/posted, plus I'm finishing up my big_bang fic, so I'm hopin after that I'll be able to get everything where it needs to be.

No, my leg is finally recovered, but the grant which paid for my job wasn't renewed, so I'm currently job hunting/sitting around with a lot of time on my hands.

[brightstarmara]

:) Which bang are you rocking?

Not having jobsecurity sucks ass. But good that your leg is better!

[total_fangirl]

The het_bigbang. I had signed up for another, but the story was never going to hit the word limit in time.

I'm just in awe of anybody who can finish one story with a 10.000 minimum :)
