Sniff sniff :( I demand you stop writing depressing fic or at least give us some happy to balance it out? :(

michellek December 30 2009, 05:03:56 UTC

I can't promise to stop entirely, but I do think this'll be the last depressing thing I post for the time being.

ams87 December 30 2009, 15:19:36 UTC

That's good enough for me! :)

The next thing (longer) I post will probably be a 'they have (happy) sex! the end!' type thing. So I think you should enjoy that. :)

Yeah, I depressed myself with this one, too.

Made that comment as I was going out. I'd just like to add that this broke my heart because your Liz is still in character even as her world is falling apart. It's depressing to feel like this could actually happen.

Thank you. It is a bit of a challenge to write sitcom characters in these sort of super depressing situations, and I'm glad it seemed believable.

well, blah! Great story though, I enjoyed this world of angst.

michellek December 30 2009, 05:08:25 UTC

I'm glad you did!

OK, so when I saw this chapter up, part of me was excited, but part of me thought, "I can't read this yet. I really have to prepare myself first." And--augggh. I mean, I really like this, but it's just so depressing. Are you still expecting to work towards a happy ending? (You don't have to tell me.)

Edited so I can use my fitting Ned Ryerson icon.

michellek December 30 2009, 05:16:21 UTC

The plan still is to get them to a non-terrible place, yeah, and I almost wanted to soften this part to make that easier, but I couldn't stop it from getting pretty bleak.

Ha, I wondered if you'd use that icon.

I feel conflicted. On one hand, it's very well written and I respect you for taking on such a hard task, of writing a depressing fic. On the other hand, it makes me sad that something like this could ever really happen =(.

Happy fic soon I hope =)

michellek December 30 2009, 08:19:42 UTC

I do understand your conflict. I never thought I'd ever go to such depressing places with these characters when I started writing them, but I do find I like challenging myself with darker material, though I bum everyone out (including myself). And thank you, I'm glad you thought it well-written.

I'm sure the next fic I post will be happy. :)
