First off, I would absolutely love to see Eclipse continued!

Second, this is sublime. A lot of interesting thoughts and so sad. You are a master of words!

Thank you so, so much - I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you enjoyed this. And you'd want to see 'Eclipse' continued, really? Even after so long? *is flattered* I'm hoping to get a real start on it again in the next couple of weeks, once the holiday stress officially dissipates :)

Dammit, out of kleenex!
You. Great googly moogly! OW! This is so damned good! Just saw that last night, too.

Have I mentioned that you rock?
'cause *points at fic* dayum, but ya do.

Goodness, love - thank you so much. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it; you're what keeps me connected to the fandom, you've been luring me back just with your icons and your layouts and all the pretty and GUH, I've missed it. I am going to get going with 'Eclipse' again soon - I've decided that I want to have at least five new chapters done by my birthday (because I like giving things to people for my birthday, so I figure... fic works, right?)

You a such a complete and utter love, you know that? Seriously. You = awesome^n, in which n=infinite amounts of even more awesome. *huggles*

And don't even worry about fuddling over the Doctor/Master bit - I was just trying to write them after the special, and am completely blocked on it. I know I want to, I just don't know how.

Oh, wonderful. I'm so glad you of all people ran with the fact that she never changed; i love your words and the way you meld your stories together. ♥

The not-finished WIP - would that be Eclipse? I may jump for joy if it is. I've been wondering for ages if you were taking that further. It's such a lovely one to read as a bedtime story. :D

hitlikehammers December 28 2009, 06:28:25 UTC

Thank you ever so much, truly - I'm so happy you enjoyed this :D

And yes indeed, that WIP is 'Eclipse' - I'm hoping to start back up with it within the next week or two, and see if I can't make some headway :)

I am sorry I missed this when you wrote it. I was not reading any fic from the D/D comm for quite awhile because I did not want to get spoiled for End of Time. I have just recently started reading again and was looking at some old emails and realized I hadn't seen any updates of Eclipse so I went in search to see if you had and found this.
Brilliantly beautiful as always. I always find your writing so poetic and visual. That is one of the reasons why I love Eclipse so much.
I, too, hope that you are able to finish it sometime. I am also someone that has read it many, many times.
Great job on this one.

Don't apologize, doll; I'm just glad you enjoyed it now -- and thank you so much, as always :D

If there's one thing I can say, it's that I have absolutely every intention of finishing Eclipse. The next chapter is mostly written; it's what comes after that's giving me issues. The problem lies in the fact that, if I were starting the story now, there would be some fundamental differences in how I'd be approaching it -- and the an adequate, if not ideal, balance between where that story stands and where my style is now... and trying to decide how much filler is too much filler, and how much triteness leads to being just too trite and cliched and fluffy -- those are the main challenges in getting it going again.

But the bottom line is: I want to finish, I plan on finishing it, and I'll be very upset if I don't. As a general rule, I don't much like being very upset, so I'm going to do my best to finish it. I just don't know when. Hopefully soonish, though :)
