Thank you so very much. This was a bit of a labor of love - I love John so much but he was far from perfect and I'm glad that came through in this fic.
In terms of collaborating? I can't even imagine (please note I did the html ALL BY MYSELF) having worked with anyone but you. Your ability to take my vision and turn it into real art was amazing. I wouldn't change a single postcard, icon, banner, nothing. You helped bring this to life in a way that I never could have done on my own.
Wow! This was better than John's journal - a real look into what was in his heart and head through every step of the events that canon just alludes to. Your John was completely believable and sympathetic, without losing any of the characteristics that make us want to wring his neck sometimes, too!
Thank you so much. I really, really tried for that journal type feel. That plus the artwork reflecting pictures helps too.

What a lovely complement. Because you know I love the man but he is incredibly complicated and sometimes I just want to whack him hard upside the head.
I am proud of it and I'm thankful that you took the time to tell me you liked. It makes all the difference in the world, especially from someone like you whom I admire tremendously.
WOW! I loved this so, so much. I'm sure I'll re-read it about a billion times. ;) I wish I was a better commenter, but that's all I got. Just absolutely loved it! :)
I can't help but love him...it makes for difficult writing sometimes because I need to show the asshole because Lord knows...the man has asshole written all over him sometimes - but I can't make him into a bad father.
He had a tough road to travel and he wasn't always perfect.
I'm overwhelmed with emotion too - because moving someone emotionally, be it angry, sad, frustrated...well that just shows that I'm doing my job. To hear that my fic impacted you that way just made my day.
It's also refreshing that other people love my take on the man and don't "hate" him for his poor choices. Or instantly label him a bad father. He wasn't - he did the best he could for his sons and I like to think his best was pretty damn good.
