Perfect!

This Justin is just perfect. You should have written him, whoever you are. The attention to detail in this fic, with the bathtub wifi and the New York mimes; stunningly brilliant. This has to be one of my favorites. I really have no idea how I'm going to choose, and I'm taking this vote very seriously. Thanks for taking the time to perfect this fic, mystery writer you.

WOW! I really can't put into words how much I appreciate your comments. I'm glad the individual detail bits didn't sound contrived, since most of them actually have happened to me and/or friends (yes, even the part about the mimes!). Thank you again!

You're so welcome. Thank you! And I'm off to friend you. Sherrie

Friended you back! =)

I would love to read pages more of your story. You have such a nice flow to your writing. I like your tongue in cheek humor, your descriptions, your dialogues-all excellent.

lol at Scary mimes.. O_O because I do have a mime phobia...

I agree with your depiction of Justin, he is adaptable and goes after what he wants no matter what...I could see him being this way in New York. Yes, Brian would miss him like hell and they'd be phone sharing just as you wrote. Enjoyed this very much.

OMG thank you for the wonderful compliments! Your comments made me squee out loud, and I was definately on the phone with a friend at the time. She thought I'd gone mad.

lol at Scary mimes.. O_O because I do have a mime phobia... The scarier part? That actually happened to my best friend when she was walking to class in the Village one afternoon...*shudders*

Yes! Justin is a resilient and adaptable guy--I'm so glad I was able to get that point across without compromising the BJ lurve, hee hee. Thanks so much again!

Enjoyed this a lot :) I really like a good Justin PoV.

*giggles shyly, smiles madly* Thank you so much!

OMG, so many very well written stories ....

He’s right about one thing-it’s not luck. It’s hard work, devotion, and sticking your nose to the grindstone. It’s blood, sweat, and tears. It’s feeling like you’re taking on “just one more thing” until you’re ready to break. It takes years, decades of everything you can give. Love requires all of those things and more to work properly, but when it does work? It’s amazing. You already know that you, Justin Taylor, love two things: art and Brian Kinney. And now, you think you’re up to the challenge of letting the whole world know about it.
I love your Justin. You exposed his the most valuable virtues and characteristics of his character. One of them is firmness of his character.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the Justin-ness, I get annoyed at a lot of fics where he's portrayed as weak or co-dependent, so I was concerned that I'd gone a bit overboard with my own portrayal of him.

Re: the quoted bit, don't tell anyone...but I definately came up with that in the last few minutes before the deadline whilst in the middle of a caffeine-induced manic haze, ha ha! I'm so glad you liked it!

Yes! Justin gets it all. As he most certainly deserves.

I don't think you could have summed it up any better than that! Thank you so much for commenting!
