YOU LIVE! \o/! Long time no see <333333 (a very long time...) How are you? (*goes to read story now* :P lol)

[shangrilove]

hey! yes, it's been 4 years and i got hooked onto fandom again. it took me two hours to post cause lj's changed so much/i was never good with the lj system. that was a huge reason why i stopped, it wasn't user friendly at all and it took me hours to post anything.

but yeah, hopefully i'll be catching up with everyone on my flist!

[svtstarlight]

Yeah, I've been here all this time but still have trouble cuz I use a tablet and LJ is very not-tablet-friendly. -.-; *le sigh* I'm back in England until next weekend when I'm in Germany/Luxembourg for 2 months. Sooooooo can't wait OMG. I hate it here. *sobs*

I loved the story - the progression from just starting out until now was an interesting idea and I thought you did well in capturing his frustrations and joys. (Chelsea won \o/ *happy Blues fan*) I'm not a fan of Torres tho but I do hope he's able to regain form...it sucks having shit happen like that and having to recover from it...

Welcome back <3

as you can see, still editing that post. the spacing was off and it really bugged me. >__< this is why i really don't like lj sometimes.

england is fun! germany is even better though. i love living in germany. are you in london then? since you're a blues fan? i follow national teams and players, so its really hard to follow a club with all the transfers and whatnot. huge fernando torres fan though, so i really liked chelsea after his transfer. and he got so much crap from the media about it...

thanks for the welcome back. i'm on twitter too. it's so much more user friendly.

I no like this font :/

I'm going to read this again and quote my favourite parts (beware - I have a lot) and leave a spamtastic comment :D

[shangrilove]

you will notice the notes is still in calibri, while the fic is in times new roman. when i posted it, odd parts of it was in different fonts. after 6hrs fixing, i gave up.

[shangrilove]

ps what is the default lj font anyways? when i have more patience i'll fix it.

i just tried to repost it. i got this:

"Your entry has been put into the moderation queue. It will be accepted or rejected by one of the community moderators."

so... we'll see what happens?

[sparksfly7]

yo, your fic is on footballslash twice because you reposted it. you should take the older one down (hey, the formatting looks much better the second time around!) :)

[shangrilove]

i know. i am dumb and i can't figure out how to delete a post...

[shangrilove]

kay i fixed it! so proud of myself.

[sparksfly7]

hey you did it! :D

trust me, I was totally clueless with all things LJ and the FAQs was my best friend.

what a great character study! i really, really enjoyed reading this and am eager to see more from you! and gen fic? i love gen!

one small nitpick in this otherwise truly lovely fic: when fernando debuted for chelsea, ancelotti was still at the helm. :)

[shangrilove]

thanks for reading! this actually started out as a sernando, and then i realized that it just wasn't working and turned into nando gen.

oh you're right, it was ancelotti. i knew that too. i have no idea why i put avb. i'll fix it later as more errors get point out. but thanks!

[totally_loca]

this is beautiful and wonderfully written. So many bits of it made me go awwww. :)

[shangrilove]

thanks you! i think i just really wanted more people to have feelings for nando. hopefully it did that.
