I'm not entirely sure anything could make me less excited for these fics (except maybe suddenly making it Brencer *shudder*. As long as I get to read them at some point in my life (hopefully not too late lol) I will be happy. So change away.

On a slightly more helpful note, I like the idea of the murder arc being told in greater detail and seeing the victims as actual characters instead of just people who were murdered. I just scrolled up (after missing it first time) and saw that this would probably mean Ryden for BBB, so that definitely gets my vote!

Thank you. You've been one of the most excited people in all of this, so that means a lot. ♥

Uhhh... God, I don't really know. I'm leaning more towards saying, "Yeah, dude, totally change it," but I really do like it when writers work really hard on character development and relationships between characters, so it's difficult to decide.

I was kind of getting the feeling that the murder arc was getting lost in it all, though. And I DO have massive hearteyes for it, so... I'd say that it'd probably be best overall if you made the Panic! backstories a little bit more concise.

(Though, there's very little that you could do that would make me less excited about this story. :D)

That's what I've been feeling too. And I don't want the murder arc to get lost in all the relationship ~drama. :) Thanks, babes.

The change sounds really great, actually! I think it would make it more of a mirror story. Also, that allows your BBB posting to not be a sequel. Technically, someone could read the Ryden backstory without even having read Nightingale (at least I think? and I mean, they totally should read Nightingale, but you know what I mean), and that might draw in more readers if that's something you want to consider.

Very good point. And yes, the Ryden backstory could definitely be read without having read Nightingale.
Thanks, babes. :)
