Thanks! I love David Anders and I especially love John, who gets painted as a villain so often when I honestly think he does everything he does because he wants to protect Elena.
And I'm glad you liked the concept. I was fairly certain no would read this, so I'm glad you did!
This fic was so amazing. You gave so much insight into the characters and their motivations. I loved the very idea of it, but mostly the way you treated Miranda as such a loving, wonderful, multi-faceted character.
I think your attention is amazing. Moments like this: Kelly was chain smoking when Miranda arrived that spring day, Victoria screaming with indignation inside the playpen, Matt lying in the center of the living room floor on the baby blanket Miranda had crocheted for him. Immediately Miranda scooped Victoria out of the playpen, wiping the tears from her overheated face, changing her diaper with efficiency before giving her a sippy cup of apple juice and placing her in front Sesame Street. Matt smiled at the sight of her, his chubby arms extended, and Miranda could not help but gather him to her chest, breathing in the sweet scent of him.
I very much need you to start writing original fic, my love.
...For inspiring me to start writing. The only reason I got an LJ was to comment on your fic and tell you how awesome every single one of them is.
I hope you don't mind that I've used your format "The 5 people who..." for my first story, but its a bit different to how you do it (not as good, obviously)...
If you do want to go for a read, I've written the first part on my journal, and a comment from you would make my day (even if its criticising ;))

Wow, thank you. That might be the best compliment I've ever gotten in my life.
The 5 times template is a fandom staple; I only just started using it because usually I have too many half-fic ideas and it's easier to get them all out at once if there's some kind of unifying concept. Use it and use it well :)

But then I'd have to think up my own characters and my own plotlines and it would be so hard.
And right back at you, my dear.
