I just really love this story, okay? I want to send you gushing comments and post flaily recs and just generally roll around in the awesomeness. Things that I especially love:

1. The OCs. Kim is particularly amazing. She's a perfect partner for Kurt, she's a great friend, and she feels like a fully realized character. I never doubt that she has a whole life outside of Kurt and the show.

2. The way the show is incorporated. Sometimes fics about reality TV get so bogged down in the minutia of the competition that I lose interest in the characters. Or, alternately, the show matters so little that I wonder why the author bothers with that setting. You've done SUCH a good job of making the show matter without eclipsing the characters or relationships.

3. Kurt and Blaine. Your Kurt and Blaine are so, so lovely and functional and have so much chemistry. I just want to stare at them and sigh happily, because they're gorgeous together

I completely agree with what you said about Kim (and everything else you said too).

Kim is becoming very real to me.

Awesome review.

And awesome fic, Fountnofthought!

Thanks so much! *blushes* And you can call me Linds. ;-)

PS. Sometimes I'm afraid that Kim is going to insist on a spinoff. I have some ideas to keep her in check, though!

Well, I want to roll around in the awesomeness that is this comment! Thank you so much for your thoughtful description of what's working for you in my story. Turns out that world-building and storytelling is pretty darn complicated, so it's wonderful to have you comment on that in such detail. Keeps me motivated, too!

Thanks again for brightening my day as well - I'll keep doing my best to do the same for you!

I just love this story. I'm happily sighing over here!

[fountnofthought]

Ooooh, yay! Happy sighs are always a good thing. I figured we could do with some general cuteness after some dense and intense chapters. Thanks for commenting!

Loving this story! And I love how you put the Gap story in it!

[fountnofthought]

Thanks! Sometimes it's fun to slide a canon story into my storyline, just to see how things go. It's awfully fun looking at canon from the perspective of the boys as actual grownups.

So...I have been terrible on commenting lately, so accept my apolgies for that.

The last few chapters have been terrific. The inevitable issue of Blaine's being in the closet was going to have to be addressed and I love how it was awkward, and hurtful things were said, but the boys figured out a way to work it out together and get to a resolution that made them both comfortable. I love how their lives have become so intertwined and their nights are spent together more often than not. Kim continues to be one of my favorite OC's ever written! She is very much the sister Kurt never wanted but couldn't live without now.

And the hot karaoke in this chapter was delightful!!

Thanks as always for sharing this great story!

[fountnofthought]

Thanks so much for coming back with this lovely comment! Kim's been getting an awful lot of love these days - I can assure you that she's not-so-secretly pleased. ;-)
