Oh, Amherst. Oh, PV! As someone who, as you know, attended college a whopping ten minutes from this fine institution, I APPROVE :). Reading about the PV is making me all nostalgic! Awww!

BRADLEY AIRPORT and the PV Transport=love!

I'm really enjoying seeing Logan in an atmosphere where he ISN'T totally comfortable--it speaks a lot about the whole displacement when you're going away to college, and yeah, he had Hearst, but this? TOTALLY different. As in NOT IN NEPTUNE, CROSS-COUNTRY different. I really love how Liz questioned the living in a hotel and stuff, and how really STRANGE Logan's life *would* be to...well, someone not from Neptune :).

And, really, may I say that Sarah, the RC, is an inspired character? I mean, HELLO. A Buffy fan from New York who just HAPPENS to be obsessed with JAMES K. POLK OMGYAY? SO, SO GOOD ;).

“I can tell you that Sarah isn’t crazy; a bit eccentric, but not crazy."HEEEEEEEE

Comments like this are why you made it into the notes, and well, the fic, really. As the other other person in VM that I know of you understands Amherst and the PV, you got gets of PV love for this fic being written

First, let me just say: ROZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! Wow, what a Santa. I got five shiny presents under the tree - four teaser fics and now this awesome first part! I really hit the mother load.

This is really interesting, very unique! I like the fact that Logan's interested in making friends, because we never really see that side of him in Neptune. He's usually more interested in shutting people out, or not giving a flying f*$# about what people think. He's so different here, trying to blend in, trying to move a little towards normalcy.

Liz is interesting, too. Easy-going, independent (even if she does get him to take the bags), fun. It scares me a little that she shares a name with a famous New York gossip diva, but I'm just going to chalk that one up to coincidence for now!

I'm really excited to see where this is headed! Looks like you have a crack team helping you develop, and God knows my request was really left of center. Now I'm going to have to go update my post from last night! I didn't want to leave my vm_santa

It was no problem to be your Santa, Jen! There might be something else under the tree if I think a bit harder about it, and spend more time with my music collection

Ooooo -- Logan is headed close to my (growing-up) neck of the woods! (I'm was a southern NH girl, once upon a time. Gotta love those 4 seasons!) I liked this a lot. I like Logan taking the initiative to branch out and try something and somewhere completely new. Although, Logan doing dorm life is something that is hard to wrap my brain around. I like Liz so far, as well. I am glad you are not done with this universe yet -- I'm interested to see where it goes! And I'm really glad that rejeneration asked for this type of fic for a gift. It is paying off for the rest of us!

I love how many people are more interested in Logan leaving California--it makes me really happy to hear that.

Logan trying to do something different is what I was going for, so I'm happy to hear that it's working so far for you.

The idea of Logan in a dorm is a bit hard, I know, but so much of the college experience is being in the dorms that I figured if he left Hearst, he'd give it a shot.

Liz being likable is a bit thing in this, so thanks! I know that there are tons of people who won't like to see him with someone who isn't Veronica, but I'm going to try and make her as real and spunky as possible.

Well, for all of the things that I know Jen wanted, this isn't even close to being done.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

I really LOVE this Roz. I LOVE seeing Logan out of his element. I love Liz. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Veronica is out of the picture, so I thank Jen for giving you the idea. I love it all. I can't wait to read the rest.

*bounces*

I'm glad you liked this, especially Logan being a bit out of it and Liz being real.

V is so out of the picture. She's not going to be around at all, except in Logan's head, but I think that's going to die as this goes on.

Hopefully I'll get more soon, but I need a bit of a break.

This was really good! I like the thought of Logan starting life anew. :) Really great! Are the characters you used, personalities of people you went to school with? I really liked Liz, and I can really see him being drawn to her.

[afrocurl]

I'm glad that you like the idea of Logan starting over.

The OCs are based on friends of mine, yes. Liz is mirrored after one of my friends.

[la623]

It really was a great story. I forgot to comment about the other little ficlets you wrote that led up to this fic...I really liked them. It's sad of course cause you know ULTIMATELY, I want Logan with V...but if it weren't to go that way, I'd like him to be able to start fresh and have an actual chance at his own "normal".

[afrocurl]

Don't worry about not commenting on the ficlets.

I know that tons of people want Logan to end up with V, but rejeneration had a very specific thing she wanted, and this fits it for the most part.
