TOTALLY! I dunno... i mean that fic was ~inspiring. simply (or not so simply) cos it broke me out of my NO-CRACKSHIP* bias, and i was SO shocked about that... and I suddenly had a world of possibilities out there. Also, the fact you wrote Michelle, i was like "Other people do that?! I want to now!" there is so little Michelle-fic around and it was just GREAT to see. a lot of it is cos your fic was ~so well-written too. it made it so plausible which helped loads obvs. i'm just incredibly glad i was your artist for that cos i still go back and re-read your fic every so often ;) i just... yeah. changed my whole outlook on things. like a kick in the pants, in a wonderful way. :D ♥♥

*i kinda don't like the word "crackship" for pairings like effy/michelle or naomi/michelle or cook/katie or ones that aren't really that ~outrageous or "cracky" at all, unlike let's say franky's gay dad/cassie or something, haha.

I honestly had no idea what to expect from this story/ship. Once I got past the idea it Naomi with someone else, I was instantaneously intrigued by the idea of Naomi and Michelle.

I pretty much went on a reading bender throughout the course of this afternoon. This story is one of the best things I've read in a while. The characterization was absolutely stunning across the board.

This is going to sound bizarre, but this is one of those stories where not only did I enjoy reading it, but I feel different after completing it. It was THAT amazing.

Thanks for sharing.

PS I think you may have a new N/M convert.

Yes, getting past Naomi/someone other than Emily was my initial issue too! (Cos the whole Naomi/Michelle thing was in a dream of mine before I'd even thought about it consciously and when I woke up, I was just like "But... but Naomi/Emily! :("). But I'm SOOOOO happy you gave this a shot and managed to get around that. When Naomily shippers enjoy it, it's like double awesome :DDD

Thank you so, so much.

"This is going to sound bizarre, but this is one of those stories where not only did I enjoy reading it, but I feel different after completing it. It was THAT amazing."

OMG. Those are my absolute fav to read and I find them so rarely so the fact this did that to you, I just... I'm shocked, tbh (in a good way!). Never expected that. It's like the biggest compliment ever. :D

And YES! new N/M converts are ALWAYS welcomed with open arms :D Thank you so much again. xx

Babe. Honestly. There's no way I can properly put words to my love for this fic. But let's try anyway.

First. There's something about Michelle/Naomi that inherently works (in a way even Naomi/Emily doesn't for me, at least in the long term). I mean, this has a LOT to do with the way you write them, because I think you understand their motivations well enough to make them work in just about any pairing (and I think that's the mark of a good writer, being able to take an unlikely pairing and have it make complete sense for the characters). But I also think they're just really well suited to each other, like, Michelle wants to be loved, but I also think Naomi wants someone TO love, and I think that's an interesting contrast - that Michelle feels so insecure about being loved, but Naomi feels unworthy of loving. And the way you addressed that was just, beautifully done ( ... )

So...I stayed up way too long reading this. I read it for the inclusion of the Stonems really and of course they were awesome. I particularly think you captured Tony really brilliantly. And I really liked the Tony/Sid dynamic at the end. I would like to see that explored more ( ... )

Thank you very, very much! I really enjoyed writing Tony, far more than I originally anticipated so I'm glad he worked out. And the Sid/Tony thing is deffo something I would have liked to have gone into more, had I the space/time cos it's an awesome dynamic, especially post-S2 when they've both grown up a bit ( ... )
