wow. ok. that was wonderful. I mean...so wonderful I don't even know how to respond.

I love non-linear almost philosophical fics but sometimes they go too far, become too abstract. you balanced this out perfectly; the dialogue was spot on - all the voices worked so well. I loved the conversation between Danny and Adam; I remember that was my always my base argument in my philosophy and ethics class about why the idea of hell was so redundant if you're going to argue the existence of am all loving god. Anyway. that's by the by. Your writing is incredible. I loved every line.

Thank you!! The conversation between Danny and Adam was interesting for me... I wanted to find a way to make Danny at least a little bit sympathetic but still talk about his hypocrisy, and I'm so happy that part worked for you. The episode of This American Life about the preacher was really good--called 'Heretics', I think, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Ha! You came up with an awesome title! AND the cut-tag line, which is witty and funny. Good job!

[phaballa]

:P Man, I freaking hate titles. I kept thinking about that line from VMars, when Lamb is all, "Go see the wizard. Ask him for a backbone."

[madame_d]

A quote from Lamb to A-Lamb.

... That was beyond lame. Sorry! :p

*waves* Just wanted to say I have a big grin from seeing you here. I love it when I see friends from other fandoms turning up in new ones I'm in. :)

[phaballa]

♥ thank you!!

AMAZING. So, so amazing. I loved the parallel between Brad and Adam's relationship, how you showed it to us in different times, different moments, and how that tied into Adam in AI, and Adam and Kris. Your characterization of Adam rings so true, and I LOVED how you portrayed everyone - Adam, Kris, Allison, Danny, Brad, Neil... Seriously incredible.

Thanks! I'm so happy I listened to my beta... she really deserves a lot of credit for this. And YAY characterization. I always worry about it when I'm new to writing people. Such a relief that they rang true!

Oh it is going to be very nice to read you in a different fandom! And this is lovely - pitch perfect as usual and I love the interweaving and the maturation stories.

And your Adam is lickable and sharp and clever with a side of fucked up cute - gorgeous to read.

There's so many awesome old-school popslashers writing AI8 now :) It makes me very very happy.

And thank you!!! Thank you. Adam is awesome all on his own. He doesn't even need me :P
