so wow i just realized that the only friended journal on here is actually leeteuk's. SHAME ON ME FOR BEING SO SLOW.

anyway. loved this chapter. (and the previous one also! and the previous one.. and the - yeah okay i think you get the idea) i am a little bit in love with donghae. not gonna lie. :D; ALSO. BUFFY FANGIRLS. YYYYYYYYYYYYY.

and i agree with jaded_skys about 'plz no month in between updates! :('

♥!

[cityverse]

Haha, it's not like we announced it in BIG HUGE LETTERS, and it's just kind of a bonus. XD

I think we're all at least a little bit in love with Hae. :D;

I just see Sungmin getting Eunhyuk and Donghae to marathon through DVDs with him. And later on, forcing Kibum to submit as well.

I'm sorry! XD;; Hopefully I won't need to do massive and depressing rewrites this time...

*kind of forgot what happened previously* Oh damn, I'll just have to read it all over again. Shucks. :D

GOD, I love hunter!Kangin HE IS SO BADASS. a;lskdjfl;kadsjfkja ds;klfj KEYSMASHY LOVE. And I kind of also love all of vampire!SuJu. The dialog is so sharp and Donghae must be on some kind of fantastic crack and if I keep going I'll just continue to abuse conjunctions.

[cityverse]

We like our hunters badass, yes we do. :Db

Sharp dialogue? Wow, that's... XD; I don't usually consider my dialogue sharp since I have a tendency to throw in extraneous stuff. There was a lot of rewriting though (god, so much rewriting) and thus a lot of editing, so it did get trimmed a good amount.

[the_calen]

Well, "sharp" as in cutting. The banter makes me happy. :D If there's "extraneous stuff," it doesn't read as such.

But omg. The re-writing and editing might be a pain and incredibly frustrating for you, but we readers appreciate it like WOAH. More writers could benefit from your example, because the end product is well-written and highly enjoyable fiction.

I missed you like crrrrrrrrrazy. and i'm laughing hysterically because last week (2 weeks ago? my sense of time fails me on a regular basis) i started rewatching buffy, and am currently starting S7 lol Buffy refs KILL me, because Buffy killed me repeatedly (killing can be good sometimes... right

[cityverse]

Aw, thank you. ♥ It was almost mandatory that I make a Buffy reference eventually. XD

We're pretty happy with the KangTeuk partnership. :D Like you said, they're undeniably close and totally understanding of each other, but we also try to stay on the platonic side of things. That kind of intimacy isn't given enough credit in fiction, I feel, because it's generally more pleasing to take a turn for romance.

Ahaha...ha. The meeting scene was the problem scene from hell. Originally, Donghae stuck around for half of it and I had to deal with five people in a tense situation and it was just no good. So we kicked him out early, instead. Then I had to figure out what they needed to discuss, what could be revealed later, and balance the fun banter with 'oh shit, hunters versus vampires, everybody stay calm.' @_@ I'm so glad it's over.

I..... totally printed this out when I had to run out for lunch waaaay earlier today. BUT I FINALLY GOT HOME TO COMMENT. YES.

When I saw your update, I was 8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!! Yes. And I am not disappointed at all. The wait was worth it, yes. BUT. Please to not be leaving us oh-so-lonely without your fic update for one month? ;O;

And. KangTeuk. I'm, personally, not "OMG I LOVE KANGTEUK AND LIVE AND/OR DIE FOR IT." but I do adore the way Kangin and Teukie interacted in this because Teukie, first of all, seems to be more balanced? I suppose that it could have been a good day for him, yes? He's interesting. I'd say, "Congratulations, you made me like Eeteuk in a fic." but I'm not so sure whether it fits. Lol.

Donghae. DONGHAE. ♥ Now, I LIVE FOR YOUR DONGHAE. Yes I do.♥ HE IS SO AWESOMELY CUTE.

"Are we talking 'aaah, there are alligators in the sewers after all!' or 'I've got a corpse on my hands, what do I do with it?' kind of important?"Just. ♥ Have this jar, it contains my soul. I don't know what you could trade it for

[kangkins]

...Okay. So I'm hoping that Min will go chasing after KRY and uhhh... EPIC BATTLE OF VAMPS FOR THE BOY IN BETWEEN. get Kyu back? Yes.

[cityverse]

Oh, wow. I remember printing fanfiction out sometimes in the morning to take with me to school. XD;

I will try~ Next month might be busy, but hopefully there won't be a huge set-back like there was for this installment.

Yay, it seems I'm finally getting the hang of writing Leeteuk. XD

Yeah, they were talking about that whole encounter, and of course he'd have to describe them in case Sungmin or Kibum knew who they were. In the original, that conversation was included in the meeting scene, but it was more awkward than anything else. Kangin complained a whole lot and bitched about how stupid teenagers are these days. XD;
