This is amazing and you are the best person. I cannot even tell you how many times I just lost it reading this, but I lost it most especially at the Australian wildlife, Elle's lack of geography, the hot Mormon bartender fight, everyone turning into their icons and Emily yelling "I'm a compass!", and of course the confusion over Fassbender. And I'm deeply sorry the duck ate everyone before we got to the diaphenia/Ashley femmeslash, which I'm sure would have been excellent and possibly even included where people's hands go.

Oh my god. I did actually yell that at her through gtalk last night and was not aware it had made it into the final draft. I am cry-laughing

saucydiva October 3 2013, 01:33:08 UTC

I waited about four seconds after you wrote that to put it in the final draft because YES

saucydiva October 3 2013, 01:51:44 UTC

I'm not going to lie to you, this was a blast to write, because this is one big delightful group of people, except for Craponaspatula who stole my bartender.

It's too bad about the femmeslash too, because it was going to be awesome. But, you know, giant duck

courtknees1 October 2 2013, 05:52:49 UTC

OK I'll make notes as I go this time.

I am feeling a lot of pathos for Emily in this story.

THERMADOR

I will forgive you the implication that we didn't drink a lot at the first European contingent meeting because you are writing femmeslash about herbalsmoothie and M. I hope they read this together while drinking wine and that Thermador gives them some privacy.

YES, I get to make out with a hot Australian guy! Did you know that I haven't done that in literally years? TIME TO FIX THAT.

Aww missnumbat was shivering! Poor thing. And probably accurate. Bri trying to start a brawl, definitely accurate.

Annnd she succeeded. Excellent brawl.

Poor lesser duck. At least now it's been immortalised in fic.

Um, WOW, that was quite a plot twist there. Who would have thought Elle would be the one to outlive us all.

Well, you did it. You wrote fandom RPF. It exists now. Well done and thank you.

emilyla in many ways is the Ben/Darcy in this story, the person who falls down but gets the girl in the end. Emily does fall down, and while she doesn't get the girl, she does get the group to follow her itinerary, which is almost as good.

Doesn't beetsbearsbsg just seem like she wants to start a fight?

courtknees1 October 3 2013, 02:06:29 UTC

Well she doesn't "seem" like that, as such - it's more just a literal characteristic of her as a person.

emilyla October 3 2013, 02:06:49 UTC

I am weirdly okay with that.

How could the smut be cut?! There was so much chemistry between us.

All my shout-outs were accurate and then the novel one made me die inside I cannot.

Also, icon masks must be a thing when I meet others because my memory is horrendous.

BEAUTIFUL!

saucydiva October 3 2013, 03:04:30 UTC

Not putting in the smut was heartbreaking, truth, so we're going to have to write it someday. In person, if you know what I mean. I'll leave that idea in your capable hands.

Also, much love for your soon to be novel. Imagine one day when we're all in your novel's fandom and we reread this and I'm getting a little weepy just thinking about it

ashisfriendly October 3 2013, 22:01:02 UTC

I THINK YOU'RE SAYING WE WILL BE HAVING SEX. Yes.

This fandom's blind support of my novel is inspiring and heartwarming.

sullen_aquarian October 2 2013, 06:14:13 UTC

I do hit like a kitten, so that is accurate. And I also should have sued the chair manufacturer.

The whole thing is brilliant, even if you did kill us all off at the end. Truly one of the greatest moments of my life.

saucydiva October 3 2013, 03:11:09 UTC

Everyone else just apparently isn't worried about cash or jobs, but I had to throw that in for you. I'd like to think you bought us all breakfast before, you know.

sullen_aquarian October 3 2013, 04:38:59 UTC

Well, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I get cranky if I don't eat. So chocolate croissants for everyone!

saucydiva October 3 2013, 04:42:38 UTC

Oh my god chocolate croissants are THE BEST IT IS LAW [Obama gif]

ballroom_pink October 2 2013, 06:43:06 UTC

“Oh,” Emily said, handing him has camera back. Just Christian Bale. He could find someone else to take his picture then.

Accurate representation aside from that I would KNOW the difference between Fassy and Christian Bale.

saucydiva October 3 2013, 03:14:17 UTC

To be fair, though, they do look pretty damn alike. And I know I can't tell them apart. Actually, and I saw X-Men First Class and I remember spending the whole movie trying to decide if he was cute or not and then he exploded and I was like, wait, that dude?!?
