OH GOD MEMORIES OF FOURTH GRADE POKEMON FANDOM.

*ahem*

So um...my brain is a little too fried by finals week to say anything of much substance, but this was brilliant and a much-needed laugh. I especially love fic!Cameron and her reaction to Chase not dying. Also, can I please hug canon!Chase?

aenissesthai December 12 2007, 00:22:26 UTC

Thanks for the kind words. Poor fic!Cameron--so ditzy compared to canon!Cameron! ^^ And yes, you may hug canon!Chase--he sure needs it now...and even more after the next chapter.

OMG this was fantastic!! I haven't laughed so hard all week!! Poor poor Chase! *refrains from petting him because he so clearly would not appreciate the gesture*

I'm so glad to see this story continue!! It really is a gem, and I'd been watching eagerly, hoping that you hadn't abandoned it!

Thanks for dropping in and commenting; I really appreciate it. I have no intention of abandoning this fic, although the holidays will interfere a bit with updates. I'm glad that you're enjoying Postcards--and go ahead and pet Chase; he needs it!

"erstwhile or any while" - niiiice.

You had me googling and running to wikipedia and bulbapedia and I still couldn't find pictures of Chancey or Bulbosaur. I need links if I'm to know the true depths of the horrors to which you have submitted poor Chase.

Of course, the freakiest part of this chapter was House giving out $1,000 left and right.

aenissesthai December 12 2007, 00:11:25 UTC

Ask, and ye shall receive! I finally worked out how to upload pics, so I've updated my entry to now show pics of each of the Pokemon characters in the Cosplay Clinic!

And yes, House is wildly OOC with handing out money--but then, it's hardly like him to be a Pokemon cosplayer (and club member as well!) ^^ I love fanfic!House!

Thanks for commenting!

Heeeee. Cameron looks just like her.

Strewth! (removes Shakespearean ruff and steps off the stage)

And Foreman makes an oddly appropriate Bulbasaur, while I think Chase strongly resembles the ultra-cute Pichu as well.

For some reason which I cannot fathom, I had been avoiding reading this series before now. I'm glad that I decided to read the whole thing up to this point today though. I laughed, I cried, I scared the kittens, I wished fervently for more of the the ducklings on the show come the new year, and I laughed some more. Now I am just wondering how the Chases will get back to their respective realities, because you couldn't be so cruel as to never allow them to return to their lives, right? Right? Looking forward to more soon.

I'm afraid that if I left poor canon!Chase in the fanfic universe, he would go quite mad, don't you think? While fic!Chase would become quietly sad in the canon!universe. Much angst and even some sci-fi to come!

Thanks for giving Postcards a chance, and for commenting. It's not easy to jump into a fic thirteen chapters in (at least not for me), so I appreciate your pluck! As for more Original Flavor ducklings next year--that's my Christmas wish.

sleepyheathen December 12 2007, 01:33:12 UTC

I think that they both would sink into their own - distinctly different - emo-i-tude (I love the English language, so versatile) to the point of committing some form of cardinal sin whether it be homicide, suicide, or vivicide.

Do you think that if we all wish for it hard enough The Powers That Be will allow us more Original Flavour Ducklings, like the way clapping for Tinker Bell works? Okay, now I just had an extremely vivid image of Chase as Tink, I may be going to Special Hell a lot faster than I had originally anticipated.

aenissesthai December 12 2007, 03:18:55 UTC

There is a reserved spot for me in That Special Hell, since I often have impure thoughts about JS. So I'll save you a place near the fire. ^ ~

LOL I'm clueless about Pokemon, but that was still funny. This story is reminding me a bit of the Wizard of Oz, only both Chase's have traveled down their yellow brick roads. I can picture them both waking up and saying, "And you were there and you were there and you...." (The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie ever so that's a compliment, btw!)

The Cameron interaction was my favorite part--the way she was in love with Chase for two seconds until she found out he wasn't dying and asking why she was always the safeword. I almost wet myself when House broke up Chase and Cameron.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

aenissesthai December 12 2007, 03:17:11 UTC

Ah, thank you for the Oz compliment; one of my favorite movies as well. I think that fanfic!Chase is much more like Dorothy (albeit an often X-rated Dorothy), since canon!Chase seems to be getting more combative by the moment.

I'm glad that you liked fic!Cameron; she's so much fun to write--and much less serious than canon!Cameron. And yes, House is a possessive SOB; it was no accident that he electrocuted Chase as well.

Thanks for stopping in.
