This has always been a pairing I just cannot get behind because I don't see the history. I don't see their bond, I don't understand how anyone could be so friendly to this mean, mean girl.

But you make it work so fantastically. Good God, you're just so talented. That's all I can say. Lovely, lovely job. Amazing.

you’re just jealous ‘cause we’re young and in love.

Also, I adore that song. ♥

Your comment bowled me over with love, babe.

I think I should make it clear that I really don't like Quinn. I know that the writers were working the hell out of that redemption arc in the last few episodes, but I will never forgive her for being such a selfish bitch. (Especially to Finn, who is my imaginary boyfriend.) But that's part of the fun as a writer, I guess - I actually really enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how that hook-up would have gone down.

You flatter me ridiculously. Thank you so much.

(And you like the song! That was the best part of the whole comment!)

And again... I loved this story (it might be my favourite of the three - mostly because with this one you had the time to make it really spectacular). It's filled with all kinds of steph-isms (those little phrases or descriptions that just get to you). I'm pretty sure I already left you detailed feedback on this baby, but I felt compelled to comment again because you're so freaking awesome.

This continues to be made of motherfucking WIN:

You totally don’t, Q. You are drunk, and you have Finn and Jesus-

Then her being too nervous... *sigh* and how he kinda breaks when he sees her with Finn and she never texts him back.... and it's all just too much.

Beautifully done!

THANK YOU, BECCASITA! ::hughughug::

You are pretty much the only person on Earth who would stop on by a story after leaving feedback so epic that one LJ comment box was insufficient to handle all the awesome. And I love you for it. Like, so hard. ♥

I'm a bad bad lurker who has been a fan for soooo long, but I finally have to come out of hiding to comment on this fic. I feel about P/Q stories like I feel about Harry&Ginny ones. I just don't do that sh*t. They are anathema to me. But because I saw that you wrote this, and am like you're biggest fangirl EVAH, I had to give it a spin

[andbless_mybaby]

Awww, hi! I love it when lurkers come out of hiding. I saw your name on my LOL!WUT? poll, and was like, "who's that?" ::poke::

I think it is so extraordinarily cool that you read and enjoyed this, despite hating the P/Q. I think I posted this in an earlier comment, but I agree with you so, so hard about Quinn's "insta-redemption." I'm not buying it. I do think that the writers owe it to us to give her some more dimensions if we are to believe that she has reformed her evil ways. I guess that's why I like fanfic-Quinn a lot more than show-Quinn. Us fangirls tend to appreciate the need for a little more fleshing out.

"Mad ninja writing skillz" might be my FAVORITE compliment ever, just so you know. :)

Thank you so much for leaving this comment. It flattered me like crazy, and made me smile. Long comments are my favorite! I'm glad you like the P/R, too. ♥

[pandiesboxx]

Yay! I made you smile. It's only fair since your P/R stories give me the happies. Seriously. I try to use them as conversion tools to bring people over to the good ship 2HotJews. Considering how some of them end you can guess that they don't go over so well. LOL! But I love 'em anyway!

[nyafangirl]

It's becoming a pattern, though hardly surprising. There are ships I NEVER read, because I just cannot see the attraction between the two. And yet, for the right writer, I'll read anything. First Becca and Finn/Rach, now you and Puck/Quinn.

I loved this, particularly the way you wrote Quinn. Seems so very IC for her (or at least pre-pregnant Quinn) to be a complete bitch to everyone except Finn. And let's face it, who could be a bitch to Finn (well, Santana probably, but she's awesome like that).

The cool thing about Britt was the fact that he could totally text her out of the blue and ask random shit like, does Quinn have a job? and not have to have, like, a total conversation about feelings and all that. ~ Yay for the random inclusion of other characters! I have a massive soft spot for both the Cheerios, and the way you included them in this was great. Particularly this - it's so Britt, and I can totally see Puck using her like this.

Which meant bikini tops, and Finn officially earning the title of most ass-kicking friend ever

[andbless_mybaby]

It gives me such great joy to have snagged so many non-P/Q fans with this one. They definitely are not my OTP, though I don't hate the idea or anything. I'm very much in agreement with what you said - I don't know that Puck would have continued to moon over Quinn if she hadn't ended up carrying his child. Puck's young and callow and full of himself. He's not going to keep wasting his game on a chick who doesn't think he's awesome.

You and I are obviously vibing on the same wavelength, except I don't have the excuse of lectures or anything remotely smart. I know what you meant about "clean" thinking about sex. Like, Puck gets ass, but he's not so jaded and hardcore that every thought flitting through his brain is as explicit and profane as a porn star's. At least, I think that's what you were saying. :p

Thank you so much for reading this and taking the time to leave the long, thoughtful, awesome comment. It means the world to me. ♥

[nyafangirl]

I don't necessarily hate the idea of Puck/Quinn, I just do not see the attraction and/or the chemistry. And I prefer the idea of Finn/Quinn - I think they've actually got real feelings for one another. And also because it leaves Puck + Rach free to date one another. ;) Because Rach definitely thinks he's awesome.

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say! So glad someone understands my tired ramblings. I mean, my mind is pretty much always in the gutter, but it's more making otherwise innocent things having dirty connotations than thinking about sex all the time. Then again, he's a boy - aren't they supposed to think about sex every 6 seconds, or something?

You're more than welcome, hun. If the fic is this awesome, it deserves a thorough examination as to the awesomeness.
