oh god oh god oh god, I haven't read this yet because I am putting the finishing touches on mine but I AM SO EXCITED and also LAUGHING MY ASS OFF and did I mention being REALLY EXCITED? Okay, back later with feedback and squee. WRITING NOW.

[atrata]

OKAY, I LIED, I READ IT IMMEDIATELY. Patience is not a thing I have. I apologize in advance for the allcaps torrent I am about to unleash, but I'm really caffeinated sleep-deprived and REALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS FIC OMG.

BECAUSE, LOOK, THERE IS SNAPE AND DARREN. AND MIRANDA IN TORONTO SNEERING AT THE ODDLY DRESSED NATIVES. AND ANTLERS IN THE AFTERLIFE, OH GOD, OLIVER AND BOB I CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE. AND ELLEN IS ELLEN, OF COURSE SHE IS. AND PEPPER IS DRINKING WITH ANNA AND JESUS, TONY STARK SPONSORING NEW BURBAGE I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT WITHOUT JUMPING UP AND DOWN.

Seriously, I crouched on my chair and read this with my hands clasped in front of me giggling like a loon and sometimes clapping until my roommate emerged from his cave to ask what the fuck was going on and I pointed and babbled incoherently and I love it so much and you didn't even SIGN UP for this thing AHAHAHAHA OH GOD. Thank you thank you thank you so much!

[atrata]

Also, obviously you know this but it is ALL MY FANDOMS, and they are ALL SO PERFECT, I can't even. I guess I could just be editing comments instead of continuing to flail madly, but WHATEVER. I do not even know what my favorite part is. Is it Miranda? It might be Miranda. <33333

Okay. Okay, back to writing. THANK YOU AGAIN.

[Editing for icon. I didn't mean to use my wtf icon. I meant to use my ftw icon, even if it's a wrong fandom. This mistake is easily made!]

[atrata]

Wait, okay, I have calmed down a little. AHAHAHAH, these comments must look batshit. Anyway! Darren! Knocking Alberta, of course he is. I could hear all of that in my head; it was completely perfect. And I love the little touches about Anna, feeling like a country girl in these ball gowns, because she absolutely must. It's just... they all ring so true, the S&A characters and all the other ones (Miranda! Did I mention HOW MUCH I LOVE MIRANDA'S LITTLE CAMEO?) and it's so great.

Seriously, I am stopping now.

[isiscolo]

So, hi! Thank you oh so very much for flailing in multiple comments, because, you know, writing frantically with not much time is SUCH a confidence builder. But! I am delighted you enjoyed the nods to ALL YOUR FANDOMS because they turned out to be MY FANDOMS TOO, whaddayaknow?

And WTF is so much like FTW it can't be coincidental.

[petronelle]

This was a lovely ride. Darren's reaction to Snape--such presence! such style!--made me beam. Anna and Pepper deserve to know that their particular brand of awesome is valued and wonderful, and the moment they can have is excellent. Richard and his brushes with Evil Americans, brrr.

I got as far as "A rough-hewn room done in Early Macho" and had to stop reading in order to make gleeful noises. I've been wanting *some* kind of conversation between Oliver and Bob Fraser for a while, and you did it beautifully, not least with Oliver's moment of despair that he'd be stuck there for very long.

The last makes me say, "Oh, bless!" Every detail makes me beam, from Nahum's play to the feeling that all stories are true, and sometimes some of them end well, even if Ellen is Ellen.

[isiscolo]

I'm delighted you enjoyed it! I am totally with you, having long felt that Oliver and Bob Fraser deserved a meeting for karmic reasons alone. And I'm really glad you liked the last bit so much, because that was for me the keystone that pulls it all together and shows the infinite possibilities of fiction.

[china_shop]

Oh, I love this! So many wonderful details and clever observations. \o/

[isiscolo]

Thank you kindly! I had great fun putting it together.

[qe2]

This is absolutely delightful. What fun.

[isiscolo]

Thanks so much. I had fun writing it!

[qe2]

Clearly :-). I'm sorry not to have given more in-depth feedback, but truly, I just read the entire thing with an ever-widening smile on my face and a sense of deep glee.
