Oh darling. I can't even tell you how much this comment means to me, okay?
Because this fic, oh, this fic, because it was for you and for us and TIN is so gorgeous and perfect and also huge and sprawling. And the subject matter, well, like I said to Kaz, it ended up being terribly personal so by the end I had no idea if it was hanging together as a story at all. And I was trying to reread TIN to get back into it and there's so much, obviously and I didn't want to ask you about it, obviously so I was just clicking and getting really emotional reading Herminone and Luna's last posts. So, yes, I'm proud of it and I'm unreasonably attached to it (even more so than usual with fics and you know how I get) and knowing that you loved means the world to me.
And you wrote me, like, a litcrit response, OMG, I can't even. I mean, really, this was a wonderful comment and I savoured every line of it and ugh, your thoughts about writing and about the TIN characters are SO awesome.
I am BEYOND delighted to be compared to Luna, because she's amazing and I love her. And I really enjoyed writing her, which was true when I was writing canon HP stuff back in the day. It was just sad that I couldn't fit her into this story more but, I'm not sure why, but I just knew who I wanted this to be about, right from the second that I thought about the prompt.
Yes, that was totally a reference to Hermione's last post. It's one of the lines that really stuck with me, maybe because I love books so much, and because I know what it is like to have your life get all tangled up in someone else's so that all your stuff sits together on shelves. And so, the not having of that life, it's just so brutal.
I will JMFF it up for you! I can maybe attempt a bit of Geordie (a la Mr Boot) but that's a little more difficult for me. FUN WITH LONG AND SHORT 'A's!
Yes, exactly, Justin is the kind of person who would happily get into that kind of conversation about nostalgia and reality without hesitating and really think about it and argue his corner and I love the idea that him and Terry have these all encompassing conversations, and they end up staying up until like, 3 in the morning because Justin came home from the shop with children's biscuits and they had one after dinner and just went from there. *OTPs merrily*
MORE JAM, LESS DARK ARTS foreverrrrr. This is the line that I was like, I just laughed at something I wrote :|
Anyway I think we have talked about me enough! Thank you, darling, for all your words, and I'm still overjoyed that you like this fic, inadequate token of my esteem as it is <3
