let's talk about how i stayed up rather late reading this (over on dreamwidth because LJ was being a poop) and how much i enjoyed it. first of all, while officially and publically, S/J is my otp, I go pretty batshit crazy happy for all things ot3 of this nature. ugh, it's so hot and wondeful, how does everyone not want it all the time. i was a little unsure about established sam/daniel but then the reality is that i just want to read about sam and it almost doesn't matter who she's with. i liked your daniel, i liked your sam being bossy and snippy. i don't think you over did any of the telepathy or shied away from anything and i was pretty happy it started right away
( ... )
Let's talk about how insecure I was about posting this story (especially knowing you and Christine were all flaily waiting for it and I think you two are just about the greatest writers ever). The number of problems I had writing it are very tl;dr and boring, but basically I am way beyond over the moon thrilled that you enjoyed it. This is a total departure from what I usually write, so am very glad that it was successful.
i don't think you over did any of the telepathy or shied away from anything Thanks! Telepathy's such a trope that can be done very badly and am really happy you think I did it well.
This comment and you liking it all over the place pretty much made my day. ♥ Thank you for reading and commenting and being fabulous.
Oh, good, LJ feedback time. I typed out a lot of feelings last night before I went to sleep; are you ready?
As you are already aware, I loved this. Boy did I ever. I am both surprised and not surprised by the fact that I was able to gulp it down all in one sitting because my attention is kind of wandery and I usually have to take big chaptered stories in clearly divided chunks. But this pulled me in to the point where I said, "screw it, I'll be tired and scrambling to finish the things I have to do tomorrow; I don't care this is so great and I have to know how it ends

HOLY FEEDBACK, BATMAN. This comment is now my teddy bear.
But this pulled me in to the point where I said, "screw it, I'll be tired and scrambling to finish the things I have to do tomorrow; I don't care this is so great and I have to know how it ends." See this? This a stupid grin on my face. Because I always have this fear with long fic that people will be like "It's epic, I'll read it tomorrow" and never come back to it or "This first chapter is kind of dull, done now" and I am so so glad that this did not happen to you. (Totally unrelated story, I did this exact thing to someone else last year. She read the whole thing on her phone.)
Unf, the holding-hands-through-bars thing. Really glad I didn't cut that line, now. That moment you and Jess had is amazing. I just...yeah. Amazing.
TEAL'C WAS NEVER LEFT OUT OF THE FEELINGS GAME. This bugs me too when I read OT3 fic. Like, hello, there's this fabulous fourth member of SG-1 ya'll are ignoring and he doesn't need to be in bed with them ('cause that'd be an OT4) but you
( ... )
1. How does this fic not have any comments on it? It's fabulous. People should be smacked. Hard. YOU HEAR ME PEOPLE? COMMENT ON THIS FIC. SERIOUSLY.
2. The prisoner in chapter 8 is much better. Much much better.
3. The IKEA battle is a million times improved. You managed to relay everything you wanted through the previous scene without it being jumbled and confusing. Fantastic work, not that I doubted you.
4. Hehe. Teal'c lifts an eyebrow.
5. The ending. God, the ending. I love Teal'c sfm and you know that so this was just perfect. I could hear him in my head. You managed to make Teal'c's consistently flat affect into something so much more than that. I think it takes talent to write that.
You know how much I love this story despite the appearance of Daniel. It's such a good story and I almost hate that I'll be in the process of moving next year and unable to beta for you. It's so not cool. Seriously though, you're amazing girl. Absolutely amazing.
1. The situation is slightly more improved over at AO3. I think because there isn't a dominant pairing, the only place to drop it is stargatefic so there wasn't a pre-made fanbase and, I don't know, no one watching is interested in Sam/Jack/Daniel. Whatever. /author whining
2./3. Thank you. I think "IKEA [noun]" is going to make it into my vocabulary for the rest of my life. You are forever amazing for pointing out that, at one point, that entire chapter was really bad. I think in my heart I knew it, but having someone point it out to me was incredibly helpful.
4./5. I told you I was changing it for the better. The more I write Teal'c, the more I think he's beginning to tie Sam for my favorite character on the show.
I am not writing plot next year (except my mind is already "oh what about this and that or the other thing" and I'm like "SHUT UP, NO. COMPLEX PLOT WAS HARD OKAY").
Thank you thank you thank you. For everything on this. ♥
