TOWJWAGABI, Part 2

[myrna1_2_3]

This is more experimental than I usually am. Usually, I totally know where the story is going and even though I adore comments and feedback and suggestions from readers, I've already got the story mapped out in my head, so the suggestions don't really figure in to the rest of the story

Ahhhhhh!!! This is Soo good & you have me torn...

between completely getting pulled into Brian's pain amidst this monumental numbskull decision he made- especially with this passage:
And it was sitting on a folding chair at Gus' preschool, watching numbingly untalented children roam around a stage dressed in bathrobes and confusing the identities of Jesus and Santa Claus, that Brian realized he missed Justin

So glad you're liking it!!

I Like Dan and don't want to see him get crushed when Justin and Brian reunite

I KNOW! (not that I know J & B are going to reunite...) I want EVERYONE to end up happy and okay, but I have no idea how I can do that!

Maybe I should make every part be, like, 10 mintues of time (sort of like the show '24' only much much much more tedious!)

That way, I'll never have to make a call!

Ack! 10 minutes at a time- sounds akin to Chinese Water Torture!!

Oh, And I'll add on that I'm with you as far as Deb, in particular and the gang overall being preoccuppied with the new baby & the Holidays that they missed the Obit notice for Jennifer. But still think Deb & Jennifer would have been in some kind of contact due to PFLAG even with Deb believing Justin was in NY. Now, maybe Jennifer would have pulled out in order to keep Justin's 'secret', knowing Deb would have had too many questions and she would have had to nearly constantly lie to a woman who had become her friend, but Deb's not one to let go easily- especially if it's a matter of keeping track of Justin. But I'm with you so far.

This is not. fair. Honestly. Unfair.

I didn't want to like Dan. I wanted to hate him, despise him, see him as the ultimate loser (another version of Ethan, if you will). But I don't. I actually like the guy. And I like Justin with him. Damn.

But see, Justin belongs with Brian. That's a given. And although you said you already had this story mapped out, I'm still going to try to give you some hypnotic suggestion (cough*BrianandJustinareOTP*cough) just in case you're considering taking it in a different direction.

I do love this work, though. Well written, well thought out, well characterized. I'm eager to read more. Thanks very much.

I think she said she DIDN'T have this one mapped out...which is why it's different than her others.

[joesther]

Ah. Whoops. Guess I misread that sentence. You're right. Thanks for pointing that out to me. :D

I do hope it ends up being B/J though. Much as I like Dan, they are my all time OTP.

That's way too easy! People are much more complex than that! I like challenging myself (and the reader) by trying to create characters who are very gray instead of black and white!

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like!

Ok - I am so very hooked ... waiting (as patiently as I can) for the next installment.

And it was sitting on a folding chair at Gus' preschool, watching numbingly untalented children roam around a stage dressed in bathrobes and confusing the identities of Jesus and Santa Claus, that Brian realized he missed Justin.

Fucking missed him.

I love Brian dearly in almost any scenario - but the man can be an outright fool sometimes.

So true! And I wanted a story where Brian was a fool because he's a fool, not because he's trying to do something noble!

I like Human!Brian way better than Super!Human!Brian!

Brilliant, as always. I think it's great that you don't have a set plan with this one - all authors, whether original-ideas or fandom-based, need some time to float around with different utilities. An excellent read.

And as much as I love Brian (well, your Brian especially), it's going to be quite sad if it ends up being Brian/Justin for Dan. However, it'll be interesting if you pull one where it's Dan/Justin and Brian's left out at the end. Or heck, you could even have it be just everyone single. Or one of the three could die. That's always a possibility.

[myrna1_2_3]

Thanks so much for the comments--glad you're liking the story!

Who knows how this puppy's going to end! I don't even know exactly what happens in the next part yet!

[spinnacle]

I really want to hate Dan, but I think, for the first time ever, I don't like Brian very much.

:/

Keep up the great work! I can't wait for the next installment. It's always a pleasure to read your contribution to the fandom.

[rikkrp]

am enjoying this.

don't know how I feel about it all.

Dan's a great character.

I love your Justin. I've always loved your Justin.

And I fucking *LOVE* to see Brian wake up and realize he's a shit.

[myrna1_2_3]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying it!
