TOWJWAGABI, Part 2

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 ( Read more... )

Brian realized he missed Justin

That fucking shit! I can't determine what Brian deserves more: a smack to the head, a kick to the ass or a knee to the nuts! G-d what an ass. But...

...when are he & Justin gonna hook up again? Dan's really a great guy. You've painted that picture very well. But when it comes to Justin, the only guy who even comes close to sufficing is Brian. As much of a shit as he is...I think you get it.

moresoonplease!

Glad you like the fic so far!

G-d what an ass. But...

...when are he & Justin gonna hook up again?

Oh my God--in a few lines you've completely nailed my entire QAF viewing experience.

I'm so weak!

Dan can stay! anonymous March 13 2004, 20:02:30 UTC

I love Dan! Dan can stay! I love Justin and Dan together. Great scoop on Dan, and you do realize that the great back story on Dan only makes him more attractive and more human, and definitely more suited for our darling Justin!? :-))

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

I don't usually like fic with OMCs but you've managed to make me care for Dan more than I thought I would. With Brian's attitude so far, it's going to take major character growth to convince me that he deserves to have Justin back. Having read a lot of your previous fic, however, I have no doubt in your ability to write a compelling story (wherever it ends up!).

Thanks for the feedback!

I like trying to build a Brian who is worth of my dearest darling Justin!

I am in the minority here, but I don't love Dan. I like him, he seems like a nice guy, but I want him far away from my Sunshine. Maybe I'm just too much of a Brian and Justin freak, but I just don't feel it with Dan. Justin seems too comfortable which is nice, but I think he needs more. This whole chapter just made me hurt. I hurt Justin because Brian is such an idiot. Actually I was listening to the Barenaked Ladies and this one line really made me think of Justin. This fic explains it perfectly--"It's your fate but it's not your fault." Poor Justin got punished for falling into the fucked up world of Brian Kinney. Even Brian knows it's nothing Justin did or didn't do. And then I hurt for Brian because evenually he relaized what he lost. Dan's a nice diversion, but I won't stop hurting until Brian and Justin are back together.

Thanks much for the comments!

I didn't want to write a story where Justin (or Brian for that matter) is with some evil guy, where we, the audience, all know from the get-go that he's with the wrong guy.

Real conflict is when a character is faced with two viable options, and there are sound but different reasons for choosing one or the other!

Only you can break up the OTP and have people love you for it...

I think it's rather odd, but I sort of understood why Brian wanted to send Justin to New York. Yeah, okay, there's the "Out of sight, out of mind" idea on Brian's part, but the fact that he pulled those strings to give Justin the shot at this amazing life is very telling.

Brian is all about the big song-and-dance production -- he can't do anything halfway. If it were anyone else, I would think that Brian loves Justin enough to do this for him. Of course his fear and cowardice muddies the waters a bit.

I guess this is just a long-winded way of saying that I love how his intentions could be viewed as very noble in one light, but very idiotic and hurtful in another. Brilliant. :)

Thanks for the comments!

Brian can be SO awful sometimes, and you're right, he has such a sense of drama that everything has to be this big THING. He can't just sit Justin down and talk to him, can he?

Just another reason why people want to hug Brian so they can brain him at the same time! :p
