unfair.
Now you write so much and in the end it's not even enough.
I demand more!

There's so much thought, detail, structure and nice quotation in this FF. Thanks for writing.

Tough customer, aren't ya? ;-) I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to want more, though, and thank you for all the comments! ^_^

....I am dead of fangirl flail.

(I have so much love for how this meeting is the first day of the rest of their relationship - it's a starting point in a lot of ways that their earlier meetings weren't.)

I love how well this story speaks to the fanperson mentality (or at least mine), with a perceived need to keep the legitimate and the fun sides separate, and that the consequences can be unpleasant if you don't - or they can get you a real job, in some very rare cases.

Although I do want to know who messed with HAYATO. My bet is on Higashiyama, due to his having changed his avatar back when. XD

Oh no! Your host family will be wondering why you are not moving. I must send flowers. :-(

That last scene? The entire second half was just me filling in stuff so I could get to that. It was the one thing I definitely wanted to include. (That, and the way Kame always abuses emoji in his mails and j-web. If only I had actual sparkles to use.)

I figured you might give this a try because hey, cyberpunk, but had no idea you'd get so into it! I'm guilty of putting entirely too many fandom in-jokes in these things, so I'm really glad you're able to enjoy it even if there are things that may not make a lot of sense. Thank you for all the comments! ^_^

Yep, that would be Higashiyama. Funnily enough, just before I posted this news broke that he's getting married, so I guess I kind of pre-empted that by giving him a wife...

I resurrected for the sake of my Yuletide and Nordic 5 Fic Exchange recipients, so make sure you don't send chrysanthemums.

And rightly so.

There's some sort of app you can use on Lj that lets you add sparkles. I've never done it but I've seen it done (on the Hetalia kink meme especially).

because hey, cyberpunk
I'm all over that. Also, I mean, it's a perfectly comprehensible story without knowing the fandom - it's just people. I just see them as more fictional than the JE fans will.

This is the point where you claim you're psychic and wait for the Akame news to break.

Hon, I have not finished reading yet (am on part 4), but I just wanted to leave a quick message to say how much I am absolutely loving this.

I utterly adore your writing and it is everything wonderful I expected from you and more. Your sense of humour never ceases to make me smile and your characterization is first class - one of the best in this fandom. I have so much love for you and your gorgeous, fun, charming, and utterly delightful prose. I cannot wait to read the rest!

*hugs you tight*

You'll be making me blush, Tia! I'm so pleased you're enjoying it, and hope you like the rest!

Have fun getting your post-work manicure. *hugs*

I had enormous fun with this. Loved the plotty plot, and all the computer talk (you've made me realize what a sad geek I am), and the slow growing of trust where there's no reason for trust.

I also like the parts you have Ueda and Koki play. Loved that Ueda's love shack hid an illegal net access business.

And I guess it's a given in your universes that Tackey always ends up (a) the boss of everybody and (b) too busy with Tsubasa to really bother himself about much. :-)

I really enjoyed this. As soon as I finished I wanted to start re-reading.

Good, because I had enormous fun being geeky writing it. ^_^

Ueda must always be up to something questionable, surely? Alas, I cannot write rap, or I could've thrown in one of Koki's homemade videos for good measure.

Tackey winds up like that for two reasons. a) I'm lazy and try not to write in more characters than I can help so I don't have to get a handle on their speech and b) Tackey seems to wind up in charge a lot. The creation of Butoukan, directing PVs and Shounen Club, that sort of thing. I reckon if he teamed up with Yara and the members of TOKIO they could run the company themselves.

As soon as I finished I wanted to start re-reading.

That's quite possibly the most flattering thing anyone's said to me this year. Thank you! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much! ^_^

This. Was. Brilliant.

I've been reading in my spare periods at work and it's been so long since I've read a really good, solid story. The progression of it all was so smooth and well-paced, and there are so many questions left over at the end but in a good way, you know?

I do hope there is more to this down the line, more sexy times off-line for Jin and Kame. ♥ :D

Well done!

Thank you! (That's fitting - I wrote a good chunk of it at work...) Sorry about all the questions left over. I appreciate that there are a lot of things I probably should have addressed, but I was running out of days in November and...uh...couldn't really see how to resolve things fully *and* get that last scene in, and that was the one scene I definitely wanted to include. I'm glad you think it worked out okay, nonetheless! ^_^

I'm sure Jin and Kame are having great fun getting to know each other properly off-line. ;-) I don't have any plans for more, but I say that about most things and then contradict myself, so I'll just say I'm not ruling anything out.

Thank you for the lovely comment!
