This is awesome. I happen to think you did a brilliant job in the story with Mark and everything you write here that you wanted to achieve came across to perfection. That said, it was still incredibly interesting to read your account of your own work. It lends (even more) depth to the story; and I enjoyed reliving it (because it feels more like living Purgatory than just reading it) from your slightly more distant perspective as the author.
One thing, though. bijoux83 asked me (way back when I posted the story) why I thought that Mark was OOC in the story I'm going to confess to you that, when I first started reading Purgatory I was on the fence that Lexie breaking up with Mark would be sufficient to cause so much pain and, as a result, so much change. But, as I read, you absolutely convinced me that it could happen this way. I think if you look closely at Season 4 (behind all the comedy) it's quite clear that sleeping with Addison / how she treated him / her leaving to go to LA broke Mark.

I once wrote a line about someone loving Mark enough that he couldn't push them away (actually it was after the S5 finale . .. ). And I think I had something like this in mind. I completely agree with you about Addison and Lexie. And I absolutely think your reasoning makes sense. As I said, you already convinced me with your writing.
I think going solo is totally taboo, probably. What I didn't write before was that I thought you were brave to go that route. But you wrote it flawlessly and, well, yeah . . . you know already know the rest.
Purgatory is up there in my short list of absolute favorite Mark fics and I'm glad you feel I gave you enough feedback. If that's true, you deserved every word of it.

Not sure if it's my brain malfunctioning but I seem to recall this? Was it in a fic you posted? If not, then...I dunno, I guess I'm finally losing it O.O
Again, thank you! Just...yeah =)
And, *THUD* I'm gah-ing over the fact that one of my fics made it on that list! I have a very LONG list and quite a few of your fics are on there so to know that at least one of mine made it onto yours? GAH!
