Ugh, Jeff Winger, WHY ARE YOU SO HEARTBREAKING.

The entire section with Britta and Annie is fantastic, and everything I wish the show had given us about their friendship but didn't.

Also, I really appreciate that Annie is a little mad at Jeff, but mostly sad and worried, because she really does know him and knows that he wouldn't bail on her, that he really does love her. That's exactly right, because Annie hopes, above all, always.

IKR? It's honestly difficult to write about because I'm sort of a method writer. I get into the mood of the scene I'm writing, and this chapter wasn't a fun one. The start of the next one has been an emotional slog too :(

The entire section with Britta and Annie is fantastic, and everything I wish the show had given us about their friendship but didn't.

What, you mean genuine friendship and not constant cattiness and sniping? I don't know what you mean. Seriously though, thanks :) I'm glad it came across well.

Also, I really appreciate that Annie is a little mad at Jeff, but mostly sad and worried, because she really does know him and knows that he wouldn't bail on her, that he really does love her. That's exactly right, because Annie hopes, above all, always.Hope points! Much like Jeff Winger, I am frequently amazed by her capacity for optimism. But again, I'm glad that this came across well, because it's sort of a delicate balance. Annie has every right to be upset with him, and it ( ... )

Yes, I just talked to Corissa yesterday, actually, and she's well! Just busy with life, you know how it goes. :)

Why. loveobsessed999 February 7 2016, 04:52:43 UTC

Why. Just why.

No I can't.

I'm mad at you right now.

How could you do this to me?

I was so excited and then you did this.

I'm going to go cry and dream of better times now.

RE: Why. cgkm2099z February 7 2016, 05:52:37 UTC

Yeah, so... this is why I waited to post this. I promise I'll make it up to you. Just know that I've been listening to this song nonstop for the past few weeks as I've been writing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca9ub9rpNK4

RE: Why. loveobsessed999 February 20 2016, 03:50:16 UTC

OH MY GOSH I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!! This fills me only with hope. And actually this chapter was really good, but heartbreaking.

RE: Why. cgkm2099z February 21 2016, 19:13:07 UTC

Yes, it is a wonderful song, and really it works for shipping purposes. Just think of your OTP when you listen to it and... feels. Lots of feels. Did you notice that Annie has that as her ringtone for when Jeff calls? She's a shipper too :-D

And thanks, I'm glad you thought it was good even though there was heartbreakingness...

RE: J*rk. cgkm2099z February 8 2016, 04:27:03 UTC

Ok, so first of all, happy birthday to mom! Second of all, jerk is not a word that needs to be bleeped lol. And don't feel bad about calling me one because I feel like a jerk for where I left things. As I said in the note, I held back posting this for a while on purpose so that the break between this chapter and the next wouldn't be as long haha.

But in all seriousness, this was perfect, heartbreaking and beautiful. I'm so grateful you're sharing this story. Everyone was extremely in-character and I love how you portrayed the Annie and Britta friendship. Jeff is heartbreaking as always and I want to give him (and Annie) a hug and tell them everything's going to be ok. (Though I'll have to say that Jeff better has flowers with him when he comes back. Lots of flowers.) I'm convinced that you'll handle this perfectly and that I'll love the outcome (just like I love this chapter). (But you're still kind of a j*rk.)Thank you for all the compliments! You're welcome for sharing, and thank you for reading and commenting! As for me handling ( ... )

RE: J*rk. cgkm2099z February 8 2016, 21:36:06 UTC

Yeah, that was kind of mean of me :D That's actually Styrian (from Styria in Austria

Ah, that would make sense. Google translate wouldn't know local slang. I've never been to Austria, but I was pretty close in 2013 when I did my car pickup. Swung by Berchtesgaden to see Lake Königssee, the Eagle's Nest and tour the salt mines.

Also, I'm glad you found Arscheige/Assviolin funny, it's one of my favourite insults :D

Google Translate produced "ass fiddle" which is somehow even more hilarious.

Oooh, the plot thickens! It was high time for some more drama, all that action recently... ;-)

Disclaimer: Yes, Jeff's being a huge jerk to Annie here.

But damn if I don't feel sorry for the guy. He got a lot of stuff thrown at him in a short period of time. His own anxieties, his fear of ruining Annie's life, confrontation with a past mistake and his asshole of a father. He's already a pretty messed up guy, this pushed him over the edge. Poor guy.

That said, Annie's gonna go karate on his ass when he comes back right? Please make it so!

Anyway, great story, great characterization, just great. I can deal with the cliffhanger now that I know the wait isn't gonna be so long.

'Intro to Felt Surrogacy'? What's that? Never heard of that before...
What do you mean, denial?

cgkm2099z February 8 2016, 21:48:16 UTC

Yeah, I mean who likes action and comedy when they can have gut wrenching drama instead? Dan Harmon and I, we're like soul brothers, I tell ya.

Yes, he is being a huge jerk. But I'm glad that you feel bad for him too. Because Jeff didn't just take off because he's a flake. He basically had the perfect shitstorm thrown at him. But we'll get to Jeff's activities in the next chapter.

Anyway, great story, great characterization, just great. I can deal with the cliffhanger now that I know the wait isn't gonna be so long.Thanks! I've got a good start on the next chapter and I'll keep plugging away. The only thing that may derail me is that I've ( ... )

jdp1979 February 9 2016, 21:01:56 UTC

Haha, I was talking about myself actually. Being in denial about the existence of a certain... muppet filled... I can't finish that sentence.

But that was funny, so thanks!

cgkm2099z February 9 2016, 21:30:21 UTC

Haha, oh ok, I gotcha. Ah well, any misunderstanding that leads to a Calvin and Hobbes reference can't be a bad thing :)

Ahhhhh, so much room down here :-D

then I got a handheld and played on that

I never had a handheld system, and that is absolutely a good thing. I would've thrown in across the room and broken it within the first week lol.

You forgot Jeff's idiocy.

Yeah, but see with that I feel more frustrated and fatalistic than angry. But I forgot sports. I can get angry at sports sometimes. But most of my teams are just perpetually bad, so there's not a lot to get angry about, just depressed. I did, however, become a Bayern Munich fan basically by accident, and they're by far the most successful team that I root for (featuring Austria's own David Alaba :-D). But for some reason I don't really get mad at soccer (football). Mostly it's baseball or American football.

Well, I originally jumped around angrily on the floor, but my parents weren't so thrilled about that and my dad screamed at me, so I just started running around outside when I was mad :D You could say video games actually kept me fit :DYeah, I did the same thing, and got the same ( ... )

RE: Response to above cgkm2099z March 1 2016, 21:58:34 UTC

This isn't really related, but I reaaaally want a movie. But, and I feel bad for this, only if Jeff and Annie end up together. But Dan Harmon confirmed that they will finally get together, so I guess, hope points?

Yeah, that's how a lot of J/A fans feel. We've been strung along for so long, we want, nay, NEED the payoff in canon. And as I see it, they're beyond out of excuses to keep putting it off. Dan's post S6 mindset has confirmed that are both indeed very much in love with each other. But as noted above, he changes his mind a lot. And even if he doesn't change his mind, he still has this thing where he says that Community "isn't a soap opera." And there seems to be a strong contingent in the writers room that thinks romance and shippers are gross. Which makes zero sense based on the history of Community, but I don't want to rehash all that here... I'll get too worked up haha.

WHY CAN'T I HAVE FLUFFINESS? NOT EVEN FANFICTION WRITERS GIVE ME FLUFFINESS *sobs*Sorry... I will probably write a few fluff pieces one I'm done with ( ... )
