Part one of FIVE?!?! OMG, I love you and your engaged self. Okay, now I'll go and actually read it. :)

I told you--the schoompy feeling is carrying me along to a five parter after I've only written a drabble for this fandom so far! Anyway, this part would have been the ficlet, but it gets angstier (and longer, I hope) from here. There are many plans. Hope I can execute the story well enough, though. There's sooo much talent in this fandom that I've kind of held back on the writing for a while now.

This is so cute and sweet! Just what I needed tonight. Thank you for writing it, and for turning it into something bigger. I look forward to reading the rest!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked this part. It's gonna get angsty from here, though, fair warning. Hope though that it is still enjoyable when it is.

Yay! A five-part fic means five times the awesomeness. Oh, Flu Season Ben, you could not be more adorable.

Thanks for the feedback! I love Flu Season Ben so much, too.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR FIVE-PART CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP FIC!!! (hrm ... there are some words I never thought I'd say together in a sentence)

I love this little missing scene! I've become a little obsessed with Ben's past/interactions with his family lately, so of course I loved his phone call with Mama Wyatt.

Can't wait for the next part!

Thanks for your comments on the story. I hope I can meet some of your expectations with the next few parts. There will be more Wyatt Family Singers in the upcoming chapters, so watch for that!

i am so excited for this! four more parts sounds even more amazing than chicken soup right now.

also "They’ve waffled (no pun intended)" - lol excellent.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on part 2 (which will be much longer than part one), but I hope to have it done some time next week.

Glad someone liked the waffle pun--haha, I wasn't so sure when I wrote it, but went with it anyway.

This was so well-written, and is definitely a credible behind-the-scenes description of Ben and his soup... loved how smitten he already is!

drphungus July 15 2011, 14:54:50 UTC

Thank for for this--I'm glad you liked both the writing and the plot (and the soup)!
