Congratulations: yours is the first Inception fic I have ever read, and the only one I ever will since everyone else is getting it wrong all the time. Thank you. This is brilliant.

I can't thank you enough for sharing the USAF thing with me, because it just makes such PERFECT FUCKING SENSE. <3

♥ It is my absolute pleasure especially if it turns out things like this and especially if it helps solidify things for you -- that feeling is utterly un-re-creatable. :)

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. :D I love how you write Eames. Also: DINOSAURS FUCK YEAH.

apiphile August 17 2010, 23:10:27 UTC

Dinosaurs make EVERYTHING more awesome, don't they? [Consider that Mill-service]

jumpthesnark August 17 2010, 23:29:04 UTC

They do! [It was noticed and appreciated!]

seriously, this is very cool. I love all the subtle hints to the characters through this. (Eames is really quite brilliant, isn't he? I WANT ONE. :D)

With Eames, I feel like you can't be too definite, because that spoils the character a bit.

Ta.

some reasons why i will now read anything you write in this fandom: cobweb_diamond August 18 2010, 00:55:21 UTC

1. This is just smart! Smart and interesting, on top of being a fun read. Inception fandom is awesome and I am in love with pretty much ALL THE FIC EVER, but i think it could do with people thinking a bit more about how subconscious dreaming might work, etc.

2. Eames as fantasist = an idea i can ttly get behind. Especially including the various childhood, boys-own-adventure touches of pirates, asterix, etc. it makes me think eames wanted to be tintin when he was a kid.

3. Arthur! so sensible and calm and quiet but brilliant! love it.

4. characters from Eames' backstory! very believable and realistic. i especially liked the voice of the Joe guy.

5. HOLY SHIT, DINOSAURS.

basically, I LOVED THIS FIC. it was just too great.

Aha, balm for my ego!

eames wanted to be tintin

I'm pretty sure he probably did. Adventure! Excitement! Small fluffy white dog!

This works more like I felt the film should. Do other people really dream with just people walking around? So weird.

apiphile August 18 2010, 12:26:15 UTC

IKR! I don't think I've ever had a dream that ... normal.
