I was wrong. You proved me wrong. You proved me wrong and you did it in such beautiful, vivid, intelligent, and fascinating manner that I am enormously grateful I was wrong.
Words fail to express what kind of feelings you made me feel. The closest I can think of is being in the very same state of mind that Mini was and experience the very same passions. The level of identification and involvement with the character you managed to create is astonishing. Your masterly style of writing allowed me to be completely engaged in the story - setting the reading at fluid but not abrupt pace. It made me delight in every word while still craving for more - and in the end I received the most satisfying ending. A complete work of perfection. Thank you again for making this fandom valuable and Minky beautiful.
i love how you still mention Golden. like it's my first-born, achiever child or something. :)
let me say this, the ego-boost I got from your comment? imagine a rocket reaching Pluto. yeah, that uplifting, babe. ;)
i am extremely happy that it managed to have this effect on you. i see you as someone hard-to-please, someone i kept in mind while writing this. there are people like you who won't settle for something below the bar so that pushed me to not screw it up.
Golden and Mistaken for Strangers wouldn't have been as good as they are if Minky didn't make sense. so really, i have to thank the characters for the 'success' of these fics. they were more involved living the story out than i was, writing it. XD
also, with every fic, i aim to remind Minky fans how strong the basis and the backbone of this ship is.
thanks for your heart-warming words, bb. you really made me feel like a winner :) xx
This is great, seriously. The only thing that bothered me was all those things Franky did to win Mini back, I don't see Franky acting like that at all. You wrote Mini in a perfect way, tho.
I'm a bit busy with school and extra-curriculars right now to reply to every response here but I've been reading the comments and this one really sprung out at me.

YES!! It is unbelievable. It is cheesy. It is too much (to a point where it’s almost lame). Well spotted
( ... )
Really enjoyed this mate - I can feel how it's a real labour of love but you've done them proud.
It's by far the best Gen 3 fic I've read and I feel like you've nailed the characters. I know what you mean about Mini - I think I'll need to see more of her before I can even think about writing her. She's complicated, man, but you've done a stellar job.
Loved your little Naomily ref, too. That made me squee a wee bit ;)
Be proud of yourself! This was cracking. Well done!!
Oh, Flis... You've come to grace me with a read. :) I'm sorry for the late reply. Been caught up in school and everything.
For you to say all those things makes me feel so accomplished. You know how much I look up to you and it’s nice to know that there’s someone out there, a hundred countries away, who I can count on to offer a valued opinion.
Naomily. Shameless plug of my other OTP? I had to do it, Flis. I had to. X)
Thank you so much! Means the world to me, mate. It was great hearing from you! ♥
i think you've just ruined series 6 for me. they'll never be able to beat this (or "golden"). this is absolutely brilliant. you captured them all perfectly. especially mini obviously. stunning.
There’re so many parts/lines to quote..idec…
You think of a whale shooting a thousand gallons of sperm into the ocean. The fishes, the seahorses, the shrimps and the lobsters. All those poor little critters, swimming around in whale come. You wonder why other underwater animals aren’t at least half-whale

And it’s no surprise or whatever, when Doug calls out your name. Queen of fucking Hearts. Try putting that on a fucking resume. Still, you’re smiling wide and giggly. It’s stuff you can always fall back on whenever you get an inferiority complex when you’re older, when you have a shit job or something. You can always tell people that you won Queen of Hearts during your days at Roundview

hopefully s6 won't ruin itself! they better not push minky by the wayside. franky and mini together scream chemistry.
moving on, i am so thankful that you really took the time to pick out the parts you really liked. there were some scenes i had trouble on, trying to put them in words and everything, but seeing some of them in your list makes it so worth all the slaving i've done over them to get them right :)) thank you for the read and the brilliant eye for all the quotables. you have flattered me so, so well, babe ;)
Re: pt2pennylane101September 22 2011, 21:39:27 UTC
your very welcome. i usually don't quote this much when reviewing but there were so many parts that i though were brilliant i just had to. you just captured ~real life~ so well. there are so many things i think about during the day that i'd probably never voice. and i 'm sure other people do too...mini wondering about the whale sperm is a perfect examample for that. you just don't see that in fics very often. hope this wasn't your last minky fic..since you're known as THE minky writer around the ~internets
