This was sort of my face while reading that entire thing:

Her face... I can't look away...

Thank you so much for this comment! My big concern with this fic was that no one would want to read through 9,000 words of Finn not failing at business just to get to the flirting and smooching. But yay! You liked it!

most appropriate gif EVER! : D
this is exactly how i must've looked like!

this really was the complete opposite of what you like in a holliday-fic. nevertheless i loved it and i'd love to read more from this verse. AND in my opinion you would've won anyway, even with comptetition ;DD

tawg December 31 2010, 01:02:04 UTC

That's good, because there are still a few scenes from this verse kicking around in my head. Now excuse me, I need to go scout out my competition :p

This was strangely relevant to me for some reason.

I was engrossed through the whole story. I totes agree with everything copper_pentacle wrote above me.

I loved how the relationship blossomed with the help of lolcats, which is where I see the relevance to me. Your Winn is so nerdy and amazing.

Overall superly awesome anti-holiday fic. I hearted it so much.

When I get stalled on a fic, I go and look at icanhazcheesburger or lolsecrets for a while. Lolcats are an integral part of my creative process.

Okay seriously: did Will really text "ayutame" (spelled incredibly wrong on my part) to Finn? As in "Ayutame means 'help me' in Italian. I don't speak English, but I have to tell you what is going on." THAT ayutame?!? If so, you are my new best friend ( ... )

Yes, it is THAT ayudame, though Google assured me it was Spanish. It is an all purpose plea for help!

A bunch of people I went to uni with did teaching, and they all have multiple areas they are qualified to teach. Like, one majored in psychology as well as Spanish and education, and since psych is a science she's now teaching year nine biology. It's me head canon that, with his accounting degree, Will has taught math at one point, and probably been lumped with health or something early on.

Man, this fic just exploded on me. I figured it'd be maybe 5,000 at the most. Sorry I didn't get to the good stuff sooner :p

Long comments are even better than long fic ;)

*Flail* It was so wonderfully nerdy and geeky and I seriously think you sould take that coffee idea and run with it before i get a patent on it ;P
The whole progression of the relationship and Kurt was so wonderfully characterised I was grinning like the adolescent super geek I am.
And I can totally picture Finn locking himself in the bathroom for two hours bitching to Will.
This.Owns.My.Life!

tawg December 30 2010, 21:57:51 UTC

I think the coffee idea is an AMAZING one. I'm happy for anyone to patent it so long as the end result is me getting coffee delivered to my car :p

I'm really glad the relationship progresses well. I was really worrying that I was skipping over some bits too fast.

Things I loved about this fic besides you know, everything:

1) Finn being grown up and a business savant and still being Finn

2) Finn on a scooter

3) Will on the back of Finn's scooter

4) Finn's full name being Finnegan---even if it was a joke, this is totally my head canon, so I loved it

5) Everyone working together

6) That Kermit was a boy and Dani was a girl

7) Kurt and Finn being awesome snarky brothers

8) Will saving Finn with lolcats

9) The Will smell! I totally had flash backs to that scene in Harry Potter with Hermione describing Ron's scent

10) That Finn ends up hiring Terri! I almost want a sequel just to see how that works out. And also because I loved this to pieces and am dying to see how they make the long distance thing work.

tawg December 31 2010, 01:35:04 UTC

In no particular order:

10) Terri is going to make Finn's life so much easier and so much harder all at once.

6) This point both fills me with joy and despair all at once :p

7) I do love Kurt and Finn as brothers. I think that's why I can't ship them - I just think they work too well as siblings.

9) I feel ripped off, because I can't remember that HP scene at all! I can remember Harry thinking that Ginny smelled like sunshine and biscuits, or something.

2 and 3) Scooters. I don't know why, or how, but dudes on scooters just hit all of the right buttons with me.

DON'T BE FILLED WITH DESPAIR!!

I clearly suffer from gender dyslexia also known as don't comment while watching a football game at the same time!

I loved that KERMIT WAS A GIRL and DANI WAS A BOY!

That's what I meant to say!

So sorry for the mix up! Especially since that was one of my favorite moments!

tawg December 31 2010, 02:14:41 UTC

That's what I thought you'd typed the first time I read your comment. And then the second time, I worried that I'd done a HEAP of typos and that Kermit actually WAS a boy. I was filled with panic! There may have been a muppet-style flail! So, if anything, we're at least equally silly :p
