Obviously I was totally rooting for Harry and Karl because you made so clear that they belong together (and I love that about you)
This fic truly helped me rediscover my Karl/Harry love, so I have you to thank for that as well. And Harry, out of everyone, really wound up being my favorite character. I just loved his blend of practicality & sort of abrupt!craziness.
but which pleasantly-surprised me most of the pairings was probably Karl/Sean. Because this is what friends with benefits should be like. You should write a rule book.
Who says this fic WASN'T my rule book? *g*
Because rather than shoving it down our throat you took your time and this paid of sosososo well.
I agree completely. One day, I'll let you read the original 23K version, just for laughs. You'll freak over how much got added once I realized I had the TIME to let this thing breathe. Thank God Gigi was kind enough to give it to me. :)
I always know that when I pick up a vibe, when a sentence strikes me as ‘thinkworthy’, this is all intentional and Gods, I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to know while reading.
I always think I'm too subtle, so you can tell me this as much as you want. Trust me. *g*
And this is just the “setting” – what you do with the centerpieces, like the first kiss of Sean and Orlando, Karl’s and Harry’s reunion, the jealousy-revelation (again) – I am simply blown away.
It's easy, man. It really is. When something's important, you FIND the way. Which is why I never really stressed over taking a week sometimes between parts. Because I knew you'd be okay with the fact that I needed to get it RIGHT.
Anyway. Thank YOU. I honestly could not have done this without you. And your FB has made all of the difference in how I look at this thing & the crazy time I had writing it. This was exactly the story I meant to tell & you were the one that gave me the excuse to finally write it.
But I still think I'm not good enough or brave enough for your Eric/Viggo meeting. *g*
