Thanks so much! I really wanted to show that Kurt and Artie had become closer after Wheels, and Kurt seems the type to do that. ;P

I'm really enjoying this. I like the idea you have on a chapter for each character. The Day of Silence is a beautiful thing and I'm glad that you're promoting it through this fic =) Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad you like it! I just hope I can do it justice. Day of Silence is so important to so many people, so it's intimidating! :)

I was tickled to see somehoe had tackled this fabulous prompt, and even more tickled to see the spin you put on it: doing a chapter from each character is a wonderful idea. I loved that Artie compared his challenge with staying silent to the Glee club's wheelchair experiment. I hadn't seen the parallels until then, but I can see how he would draw inspiration from it.

I also loved the implication that not only are the Glee kids participating, but at least some of them are willing to take flack for it. I adore friendship fics, and a fic where the kids band together for such a great cause? Yea!

Friendship fics are my favorites, both to write and read, so I'm really glad you liked it! So much bonding potential in that prompt, I knew I had to do it as soon as I saw it!

I'm really enjoying this fic concept and can't wait to see how the rest of the Glee kids handle the day. :)

I'm so glad you like it! Hopefully the rest will live up to expectations. :)
