I never thought I would say this, but I really liked this funeral. There were so many amazing touches - Harper's speech, Amelia's impromptu rush to the alter, Justin's tenderness and the inclusion of Alan's community. I think Alan would have been very happy.
Anderson freakin' Cooper! You flawlessly added him to the story. I thought the interaction between him and Justin was classic. Yes, Mr. Cooper you can "come out" of the bathroom now. Brian's snarkiness was also extra spicy. Oh, how I missed him and his role as Justin's permanent bodyguard.
I cannot tell you how much I missed all of these characters. I know it has been awhile since the last chapter, but after reading this update, it feels like no time has passed at all. You have created a very full and unique story. Please never feel like all your hard work and great storytelling is not appreciated.
I'm so glad you guys are able to slip right back into the story when I've been MIA for so long. But then I think about how invested we all are in the show and how if they decided to day to start a season 6, none of us would need to watch anything to be up-to-date because this show is just part of our collective consciousness. It's kinda cool like that. Hope to have Chap 45 soon. xo
I've been saying OH MY GAWD for the last couple of minutes because seeing an update just made me speechless. Now I have something to look forward to when this crazy weekend is over. Will comment then.
The Anderson Cooper part was almost my favorite in this chapter. Hilarious!!! I've been giggling hysterically through the whole part.
Love the B/J interaction here. Their relationship feels so much more mature. And Brian and Amelia? Cute beyond words.
A few general things: The OCs all feel incredibly real. You do an outstanding job with them. Of all the QAF fanfics that I've read (and I've read A LOT!!) this is the one that is the most complex (in a good way), the one best thought through, the most compelling. Even though it's been a while since the last update, I could remember all the details and connections between the different characters perfectly. This is all due to your incredible writing style.
To sum up: You're the most talented writer in the fandom (IMHO). And I thank you deeply for not abandoning this wonderful story.
You're so, so kind. Thanks for this feedback. It always makes me smile when people truly feel a connection with these characters. They're so amazingly real to me it catches me off guard sometimes. This in particular really made me proud: Even though it's been a while since the last update, I could remember all the details and connections between the different characters perfectly. This is all due to your incredible writing style.
Anytime you can pick up that fast, I'm a happy wrtier!
So happy that you updated! I love this story so, so much. Your writing has inspired a few stories out of me. I love your characters so much. Amelia makes me happy, you have a wonderful grasp of the personalities of small children. This story is awesome.
You can't imagine how happy I was to see this pop up when I was trying to catch up with a week's worth of LJ. It was *so* worth the wait. I'm so invested in this saga that it makes me a little crazy to think that it's going to end. I mean, I want it to end, but I don't want it to end...
I had to reread the whole story before I could read this chapter. I love this story so much. I love the talks between Jonathan and Brian, and Jonathan and Justin, and then that night between Brian and Justin the night before the funeral. I love Brian's competition with Anderson Cooper, and him pulling out his iWwinn hat because he thinks it will make Brian less combative, and I love that Justin thinks they're going to fuck, and thinks Anderson Cooper isn't hot. I love Amelia being in love with Brime Kinney because who wouldn't be.
