Hey, nice. I will change the link in the rec to this. (I may or may not have this tag tracked...)

[rm.livejournal.com]

Unnecessary line break in 8.

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

You know, when you line it all up like that, I realise that I could kill a weekend very happily in y'all's textual company.
Kudos and thanks to both of you.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

*grins* We will be thrilled to be your Lost Weekend. ;-) Thank you.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Oh and hey, my name is listed on like 3 installments and not on others -- you should probably get rid of that or else its weird.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

fixed, and fixed.

[jo02]

Yes, thank you, that had me very confused too!

[troygirl68.livejournal.com]

Straight to my memories. I do like a list. And tonight I have the first night to myself in over a month so LOTS of lovely reading to follow. (I swear its the key to a happy marriage; I can't bear having him hanging around all the time!)

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

*grins* yay!

And yes, nights to oneself are absolutely essential. Also, just caught up on LJ and saw the time you've been having. *hugs* Hope things are getting better...

[troygirl68.livejournal.com]

Thanks; they are. It has been a "crap" couple of weeks tho'!
btw. I don't know if I missed a post but I was thinking of your BF's cousin. I hope he pulled through (and if I did miss something awful I am really sorry).

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

He did, actually! Thank you for your good thoughts; they were greatly appreciated, and I believe, must have actually worked. It'll be a long, painful recovery, but it will be a recovery, so yay on that front.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Aaand recc'd at http://delicious.com/tw_fic .

I forgot to say, congratulations to both of you -- writing something like this is pretty fucking epic.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Much obliged, and a lovely rec! Thank you. ♥
And yes, next one will be shorter. (Although, we say this now... I mean, this one was just meant to be a one off email porn thing. I shudder to think...)

[coffee-kris.livejournal.com]

I haven't read the latest yet (so trying to delay the gratification of the final chapter until I can truly savor it) but I had to say YAY for the TOC layout. It's perfect. :-) It's so helpful to your readers to figure out which part goes where and when. Thanks!

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

*grins* glad you liked it. I like looking at it too.. it's all... in order. *is a virgo*

I also put the follow through links at the end of each installment as per your suggestion. Hope it helps! And hope you like the last bit. =D

[kittiword.livejournal.com]

*looks at the lovely list* You know, it is so tempting to lose a night and reread all of this (and be coherent enough to leave feedback!)... I loved it the first time but have never read it straight through.

Congratulations to both of you for such an epic fic! As a reader- it was a fantastic journey and definitely one of those stories that leaves such an emotional impact on the reader. Still trying to process it through.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

*tempt, tempt*

Thank you. We're delighted you enjoyed it.

[kittiword.livejournal.com]

Yea, it has already worked. I just have to get through work first to read it!

How you guys feeling without having such a big fic to write and keep organised, or are you already working on another one?

[rm.livejournal.com]

We are plotting and fiddling and structuring the next one.

This is the first work we've finished together though, and it was a very personal project for reasons that will be elucidated later with the DVD commentary thing, so I think it's very strange.

to use my least favourite phrase from fandom... I'm feeling a little ethereal.

[cupidsbow.livejournal.com]

What an epic. This became such a friend to me, as I have been reading and falling slowing in love over several weeks. Thank you for sharing this.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! We're really pleased you've enjoyed the whole long ride.

And it's doubly nice to hear from you. I really liked your tw primer..., and your Merlin one too!
