Wait wait wait okay now that I've read this, time to post actual thoughts.

First, and I have to say it, you are forever brilliant and so talented and this fic is just AHHH my life. Now then, Maps liveblogs the fic 2011.

Mark's absolute crushing love for Eduardo is just, just... *melts* The car scene! Disney princesses! I LITERALLY SQUEALED OUT LOUD AT THE FDR REFERENCE. *blatant presidential fangirling* And all of the Brown digs! Gotta rep my school. They're so perfect. (Speaking of which, this popped up on the kinkmeme tonight and I haven't commented on it yet but it reminded me of your fic, and then your fic happened like 3 hours later and my heart burst because I had been waiting for the final installment, and yes I am your biggest stan of all time, okay, moving on.) DEB IS MY QUEEN. BESIDES YOU OF COURSE. The text conversation is exactly how my brother and I correspond (but not post coital?!?!?) so that was glory everywhere.
THAT CLUB SCENE. *fans self voraciously* And then the proposal--literally an immutable grin was stretched across my face (and still is!). DUSTIN AND CHRIS MY BROTP ALSKDLSKJF. And his mom, his mommmmm. A true adorable Jewish mother 'til the end. HOLY SHIT THE CONFRONTATION SCENE. My heart broke for him. I would watch CSPAN for Chris as well. SERIOUSLY, THE BROWN REFERENCES? YOU HAVE TO STOP UNLESS YOU WANT MY ETERNAL LOVE EVEN MORE THAN YOU ALREADY HAVE IT. And awww Wardo coming to terms with it all. My baby growing up. The interview was brilliant, especially the comment about how they came out and protective!Mark. (Suburban D.C. temples--want me to name a few thousand? Hahaha.)
THE WEDDING. I ALMOST CRIED.
And then the ending was just adorable.

OKAY PHEW, THAT IS A LOT OF ~~FEELINGS*~* so I'm sorry about all of that.
Long story short, thank you for the absolute glory/perfection/wonderment/etc. that has been this fic. You are such a talented and witty writer, and your characters (even though they're from a fandom, not OC's) seem so vibrant and original and I could've sworn I was watching the whole thing happen with real people right in front of me because you involved the reader and fleshed out your players so fantastically.

OKAY, ENOUGH. YOU ARE FOREVER A ROCKSTAR WRITER GODDESS. Thank you so much for this.

NO, MY QUEEN, THANK YOU.

I know right????? In PoliSci the other day we were talking about the efficacy of the radio and then my professor mentioned FDR and his fireside chats and I know he was responsible for Internment and trying to pack the Supreme Court but I'M STILL A FAN OF HIM SO HARD. THE FDR MEMORIAL IN DC IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES EVER, NGL.
And that prompt, I actually LOL'd for a good five minutes when I saw it.
What is more funny is the fact that you think I can write fic. I THINK YOU'RE TROLLIN' AS HARD AS JAMES FRANCO

And you're so welcome. Your writing continues to be fantastic and the best and shiny rainbows of glory. :] <3333

DEAR GOD IF MARK HAD PROPOSED TO EDUARDO THERE oh my god oh my god oh my god
it's probably a good thing you didn't do that, my heart would've stopped. by the way your knowledge of DC is impressive! :]

HAHA we'll see. this month is horrrrrible for me so anything that I would write and then promptly mangle would have to wait until like the end of march anyway. plus omghaaa I don't know if I have the courage/fortitude to move tsn to Brown, haha. it would just become "that time when Mark and Eduardo went to sexpowergod" hahahaha

AND SPEAKING OF TROLLING...
"Blogs also have the potential to spread false information. Because no one checks the accuracy of a posting, individuals-some call them trolls-can say outrageous things merely to get attention without penalty. In contrast, the traditional press has a well-established set of norms for vetting the accuracy of information; when false statements do get through, the journalists are likely to pay a heavy penalty. Trolls, on the other hand, often gain notoriety for lying."
