The mods have released the hounds writers and artists to post their Big Bang efforts elsewhere, so I'll be posting this to my fic site and Wraithbait eventually.

The Water Grinds the Stone

[anonymous]

Hi, I finished reading your story 'The Water Grinds the Stone' at 1am this morning. Once I started reading I couldn't stop. WOW! WOW! I tried to go to sleep straight after but my mind keep on whirling, it was hard to sleep. First, I just want to say congratulations on this astounding and innovating story. I have never read anything like this before book or fanfic. The amount of time and effort put into this story must have been huge. The way some very familiar characters changed from what we have always seen them be to what they actually become by the end of your story was amazing. It felt very real. It was heartbreaking to see John and Rodney's characters struggling through the rise and falls of their relationship. The crescendo of the end parts was perfect. I just want to say again congratulations on this amazing story and I look forward to reading more of your wonderful stories in the future. Kate (Sydney, Australia)

Wow! I always feel weird commenting on a stranger's journal, but this absolutely warrants it. I loved everything about this story, and it seemed so plausible as to be an extention of the series itself. And despite its incredible length (242740 words? Are you serious?) it never lost my interest. Damn, just, damn; I could go on and on. I hope the series will have such a satisfying and beautiful ending, but I don't think it could compare.

Eh, worry not about commenting on strange journals. That's why the posts are public. I don't bite, much, and only if provoked.

it seemed so plausible as to be an extention of the series itself.

This makes me especially happy since I was trying to stick as near to canon as I could given I was writing slash and trying to make it a realistic extrapolation of what declassification of that sort of secret program and techonology would result in.

God, I just hope the series doesn't have an ending that wrecks everything before that for me. I've gone through that with one fandom, and I never want to be bitter about SGA.

You broke my heart with this one. Damn you. ::sniff::

Hello, this might seem strange but I just finished re-watching all of Alias and have been getting back into the whole Sarkney fandom and I was hoping you could friend me so that I can read some of your fanfics. I've read some of them and they're all fabulous and I'd love to read more of them.

They're all either at Allusions or at my IJ where you can click Tags List Page under Links in the side bar and access all the Bad Wigs stories.

There isn't anything else.

Though last night I was thinking of the irony that the character I miss most isn't even Sark - it's Jack Bristow.

I'm partway through this, at Madison's concert. Darn good fic, but seriously OW OW OW, you're making me tear up here.

[droolfangrrl]

argh, you made me cry!

[auburnnothenna]

It's true, I'm a big old meannie as a writer. It gets worse, but it will get better. In the last paragraph or so...

[droolfangrrl]

Yes it did. You're forgiven.

but only if you write more! heheheh :)
