Oh wow, it's over? chocobayashi June 28 2008, 16:58:28 UTC
I remember you saying this would end soon but I was thinking it'd be in like...20 or so chapters. For the record, I haven't read it yet but I'll be all over this as soon as I get off of work!

That wrapped up nicely. Very nicely. What with the Snakes and the ghosts and the ugliest cat ever, really good ending after 71(read:78?) chapters.

Especially liked Adamska having a conversation with 'himself.' That ocelot is 'so' the cat in Pandora's box.

I really can't leave a comment that'll do this justice, but I really hope you get that I've appreciated the near endless entertainment. Stray has really brightened a lot of harsh, tiresome days for me and I gotta say I love you for it. *^_^*

Writing Ocelot talking to himself is disturbingly fun.

As I was saying, I was worried that this ending wouldn't be quite satisfactory. Didn't want it to feel like a cop-out. But to me, it felt like the natural progression. I wanted to leave a little ambiguity. And Ocelot does always get that last brain-breaking phonecall.

I'm very glad to hear that. Always happy to brighten someone's days with my brainlemmings.

This is the part where we all stand up and cheer wildly and throw roses at your feet and exclaim "Encore! Encore!"

Stray has been a fantastic and enjoyable read. (It's also given me a new pairing to fangirl over.) I'm probably going to end up re-reading the entire thing eventually...

Aww. I thought this was the part where we all stumble out, blink at the sun, and go, "Christ, what did I do last night?"

Wow, thank you! That's incredibly nice to hear. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks you! I was worried that it would be a terrible letdown - originally, I'd planned to end it at what is now about the halfway point. So the traditional rising action/climax graph got kinda tossed to the weasels. I ended up trying to tie it in thematically. It's funny; I'd been doing a lot of things without being quite sure why, and they kind of revealed themselves to me - as douchebaggy as that sounds - right when I needed them to.

Thank you for reading!

Also, Raikov to match your Volgin. poaa June 29 2008, 06:41:19 UTC
Wow. That was awesome. Most likely the best MGS fanfiction I've ever read. I really love it and I hope you write other multi-chapter crack pairings.

Also, the final bits of dialogue were awesome. I'm kind of glad you ended it here. Going on too much longer probably would've become too tedius.

But, hey! You wrote the most reviewed MGS fanfiction on ff.net! How do you feel? :D

Have I mentioned how much I love Nanakibh for making these? _dahne_ June 29 2008, 08:27:32 UTC
Wow, thank you! (I take it you haven't read TVP XD)

I don't plan to write any more fanfic. Cold turkey, on to blaze original horizons.

...I hesitate to say, because I know that's the instant I'll end up writing more.

Thank you! I do love writing dialogue. But it had to end sometime. In fact, I'm surprised it hasn't already long outstayed its welcome.

Holy crap, is that true? Probably an effect of being around for so damn long, heh.

You have not. poaa June 29 2008, 20:02:55 UTC
Oh, that's so sad. :< Alas, I believe others shall take your place...

Hopefully. >_>;

Otherwise this will be a very boring summer.

In that case, let me remedy: <3<3<3Nanakibh _dahne_ June 29 2008, 21:00:17 UTC
Kill me, and two more shall take my....! Well, something like that.

There's lots of good stuff out there.
