I'm definitely hanging in there, lovie...I'm sorry to hear you are sick. *Cuddles you close*
No time to talk tonight. Got a lot of housework done and now I need to shower and fall on my face...but thank you, thank you for the offer of your shoulder and your ear. You are one of the kindest people I know and I love you for that (amongst other reasons!!)
I should be getting a bit of a read in tonight before bed though, so I will be weighing in on Chapters 22 and 23 before sleeping!
Roryyyy! You really showed the enormous difficulty of what he had to be doing there, and how he hadn't realized at first, but the reality of it all came crashing down on him-so many ages of time spent waiting, the idea is just dazzling and terrifying ♥ I loved how jumpy and anxious he was at first, his wry thoughts about a fictional character mentioning "oceans of time" and how it was a lot more romantic and wonderful than it sounded, and how he felt he owed every second of that ordeal to Amy, because he felt so guilty and he had to make up for his mistakes and see her through this. The sense of responsibility was so strong. And of course he would get restless after a while, I like the way you portrayed his getting found for the first time. Rather curious where you'll be going next if you keep writing the waiting years ;)
Just one thing: "when he’d first conceived of it", should there be a "of"?
Awww thank you. You always write the best comments :)
I figure you couldn't help but be jumpy and anxious, alone in a place like that in the dark. With all those creepy things around it would be quite terrifying.
I'm definitely doing at least some of the waiting years (all 2000 would be a bit of overkill I think, but some needs to happen!) It's been a challenge to do all the waiting in different ways and I'm a bit stuck now actually -- but I have an idea which should push me past the repetition problems :)
Also, yeah 'conceived of' is fine if you're talking about an idea (though I did have to go check it in case I'd been doing it wrong all these years :D )

I'm all good. I think it's just a heavy cold, but enough to keep me home today. Got some rest which is always nice :)
I even had an idea for the next chapter today, so that's a nice sick-day bonus :)
*hugs and loves*

Yeah, I can imagine-it sounds like a very difficult part to tackle in a balanced way! It's great if you figured it out though :D
Okay, thanks for clarifying! I always do point things out when I have a doubt, but sometimes I just fail :D
