Oh, man. You have me misty eyed here. I love how subtle it is with the somewhat open ending. It feels very real. Great work!

Thank you, glad you liked it! I wanted this to go fluffy at the end but the characters weren't having any of it...

Yeah, fluff wouldn't have worked as well. I'm glad you let it go the way it did. :)

Welcome back! :) Thank you muchly.

Very glad that you like the ending. It's not the way that I wanted it to go but Colin was insistent that he wanted to leave so who am I to stop him! x

Wow, Ryan truly is a cuddly bear in big shoes. It's heart-breaking. D:
I can see how Ryan might've rejected GS for the reasons he mentiond here, and it's entirely plausible that Colin would've fought for him just like this, which is so sweet!

Lovely work! Very believable and a great scenario, too. ^^

Lol! Aw, I want a Ry-bear complete with flame shoes! ^_^

Every time I watched Green Screen I just couldn't help but notice the massive gap left by Ryan. It's so odd to see nearly all the Whose Line cast together without him! And then I read he'd done a pilot episode for it but it was never aired and just had to have a go at writing a scene around it. Very pleased you thought it was believable, that's a really nice compliment to get! *is happy*

This is just brilliant, pure and simple. And what makes it sadder is the fact Ryan is right, in my estimation anyway.

I did laugh at Ryan's "Them's fightin' words" quite a lot. I'm not sure why, the imagery just fitted so easily into place, as it did the whole way through.

Sungreen said it best; its very real.
