Gosh I am loving this so much. Santana's issues and Brittany being awesome and Puck and Quinn and MIKE and I just don't know what to say beyond that.

Anyway, I just really look forward to your updates. FYI.

Dude, I totally have had part 1 of Wise Words open in a new tab since like the beginning of time, because Bad Things remains one of my favorite things in fandom ever. I just need to find the chance to dive in. :{

The point is, I'm pretty stoked you like this. Thanks so much! :)

[lynnearlington]

Haha, thanks. I'm glad you liked Bad Things - hope you like Wise Words as well. :D

I totally love this story though - you've got me hooked. I've been starved for good Brittany/Santana lately. They are my OTP forever.

[zerodetorres]

I have to admit I was initially a little apprehensive about starting Wise Words, and only because I loved Santana's voice so damn much in Bad Things and didn't know how I would adjust to hearing Quinn in my head for that 'verse. But someone who has been reading it told me that it was awesome and that I have nothing to worry about, so SORRY. SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED YOU AND YOUR WRITING MORE. I hope to embark on Wise Words real soon, and I'll leave you love notes along the way. ;D

Brittany/Santana is totally my OTP too. Though now that you mention it, and at the risk of sounding like a total creepster, I noticed that you signed up to do femslash big bang for Rachel/Quinn and not Brittany/Santana. Is that going to be part of Wise Words or do you have a completely separate story in the works?

[lynnearlington]

I was actually skeptical about writing wise words because I just feel way more comfortable writing from Santana's perspective than anyone else's. Plus, I always have thought of the whole 'verse in Bad Things as Santana's. So telling the story through Quinn is really strange. I don't think it's completely terrible though, haha. SO YEAH, I hope it doesn't disappoint

[zerodetorres]

I obviously haven't started reading it yet, but I do agree that there is a whole side of Quinn's story that is begging to be told, and I'm pretty confident I'm going to love it when I do finally get to it. (I'm a notoriously slow reader, and I like shiny things, so that doesn't help.)

I wholly approve of switching to Brittany/Santana. Not that I don't love Rachel/Quinn too, but there are seriously a lot more quality Rachel/Quinn fics than Brittany/Santana ones, I think. At least it seems that way. BUT YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT, and I will devour it either way when it comes out.

Yeah, my idea for big bang is pretty fleshed out, thanks to bradyyface and losdosmos. It's an AU (my first one - excited!) where Santana is a mixed martial artist, Quinn is her manager, Puck is her trainer, and Brittany is Brittany (well, she teaches dance to little kids and makes Santana's heart go all melty, but that's not extremely relevant to the plot, lol

[lynnearlington]

HAHA, THAT BAD SOAP OPERA ALREADY SOUNDS AWESOME. Violent!Santana is one of my favorites especially when her heart goes all melty for Brittany. Fighting that leads to make up sex is always A++ in my book so you get my thumbs up of approval on that one.

Gosh, you're totally making me want to switch my pairing but I'm pretty sure I just missed the deadline for being able to do that. WE'LL SEE. I agree with you though. There are a lot more quality Rachel/Quinn than Brittany/Santana and there needs to be way more contributions. Anyway...

[zerodetorres]

Ahaha, I'm so excited to get started on this. I just have to finish part 10 of this fic first.

Nobody would care if you pulled a fast one! Or just rebel. Stick it to the man.

BUT HEY. I like you. Let's be friends.

[lynnearlington]

Haha, maybe I will pull a fast one. Sticking it to the man is fun.

HEY I LIKE YOU TOO.
