Everything about this is perfect. Seriously, the best piece of fanfic I've ever read. I would quote my favorite parts, but I would have to quote everything. Great voice, excellent movement. Flawless.

Whoever said that the way to a girl's heart is the clever use of superlatives, surely wasn't lying.

Thank you very much for allowing me to experience it first hand.

I loved this so
very very much - it's a perfect exploration of Logan's journey over
the season. Seriously.

Thank you.

I am glad you think it is a good exploration of Logan's journey over the season, because I think it could have been a bit longer in places. I had some snippets for off-screen ATTTD and some Troy-related snark in my head, which didn't make it into the story, but I really liked. Ah, bygones.

. . .

Wow. That was really, truly, amazing. The way you covered the whole progression of his relationship with Veronica, the ominous foreshadowing throughout (Push button. Play. Stop. Rewind.). . . yeah. My heart aches.

Thank you!

Would you believe me that I had the idea for Push button. Play. Stop. Rewind. before I actually saw Leave it to Beaver? Not so much of a psychic here (rather catching on the obvious), but it is kind of funny.

Thank you.

Oh my holy god. This is fucking FANTASTIC. The writing style's kind of Palahniuk-esque, and it works perfectly - it's totally, utterly Logan through and through. The "She didn't - never was - never will" part in the last paragraph was the nail in the coffin. You fucking killed me. There are many other parts I loved, but I'm so eager to post this comment that I'll have to find them later.

PLEASE WRITE MORE, AND OFTEN. This is the best VM character piece I've ever read.

More stuff I fucking love:

When Duncan gives you a bunch of tapes to make a memorial video of her, you try to....

Push button. Play. Stop. Rewind.

the tape that doesn't capture Lilly at all, but at least shows a last afterglow of her sparkle

You call 911 and think Karma. You hold your mother's hand and you think Die.

He says he moved on, he kisses her again and somewhere deep down he knows something is so wrong Rightsowrongright. about it and he can't bring himself to care. He wants to fuck her against the car door fuck his father and wants to keep her under glass on his shelf bed and never let go and wants wants wants.

like some dickwad, only missing the sappy love song playing in the background to make the Dawson's Creek scene complete

Did you just compare me to Palahniuk? Wow. I love Fight Club, so this high praise for me. Sad as it is I am very tempted to write some post-LITB Logan fic filled with nothing but Fight Club references.

Sad, but I can blame you for it, right?

Thank you.

marlo May 12 2005, 09:07:26 UTC

I totally just compared you to Palahniuk! I'd LOVE to read a bitterTylerDurden!Logan. Awesome. You know, there's even something a little Edward Norton (yummage!) about Jason Dohring.

This is so, so good. The examination of Logan throughout the first season just feels spot-on, and the style is great. Love it.

I might suggest having someone go over it beta-wise, though. There are some unfortunate typos, subject/verb disagreements and word repetitions that keep it from being technically perfect, when it's really very close. Little things that pulled me out of the narrative a couple times.

But it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story any. Wowness. Yeah.

*bows to the tough-love school beta* You rock, you know that?

Thank you for you feedback and your kickass and quick beta-ing.
