Hi, I am Mel; and I'm a moderator orver at the BDB group on Goodreads. Someone told me about your V/Butch fanfic and I just wanted to say two things. First of all: it's FANTASTIC! You girls did an amazing job. Chapeau! Second of all: thanks to some advertising by some other girls and myself, the story has gone viral. I got a word doc from someone and people are requesting it. I sent it to some friends but then I thought it would be nice if you girls could come and get the credit you deserve. And if I could make a thread on GR with a link to your story (or a way for everyone to get the word file or a PDF if available). It's really great and I think everyone should read it.
Anyway, I hope you're okay with the idea. You can leave a comment on my profile. Though to be honest, I'm not really sure how livejournal works. Or you can get back to me on Goodreads. I'm Mel from the BDB group, the one with the Liz Taylor as Cleopatra avi :)
First, Sky and I just want to thank you for reading and we’re thrilled that you enjoyed the fic so much. It’s exciting to hear that people are still reading this over a year later! Please tell everyone in your group that we really appreciate it. This story was done out of fangirl love and because V and Butch are pretty much the most epic OTP ever (in our minds anyway
( ... )
Thank you for your reply and thanks again for a wonderful story. I understand your concern and I wouldn't want you to get into trouble on my account. I just love the story so much and I wanted to create a place/thread to give you girls credit. (Also: I find LJ so very hard to navigate and a lot of GR peeps agree.) But if that opens up the road to trouble, maybe better not do it, LOL. So, I think it's best if I mention the story on one of our threads with a link to LJ and keep on sending it among friends. (I've sent it maybe 10 times in the last 2-3 days!).
That's okay. In a different situation, we'd love to share True around. But with the attitudes of some fans, makes it hard.
Thanks so much for the rec, and everyone from GR is more than welcome.
On other fic, we have a few other fics posted on the com, and we're writing a few more. If you wanna search for them, go to the bdb_fanfic home page. And at the top there's a drop down menu labelled 'tags'. Scroll down to writer: skyraeblue or writer: bitsofbrits. And that will bring up all the fics that we've written.
Hey! Lemme tell u it wasn't easy to "find" u girls!!!
I just wanted to tell you, what an amazing story u've written. I am speechless reading it. it's like I was actual reading Ward herself (don't know if u'll see it as a compliment, but it IS.:) It's like you really know them (Butch and V, I mean). It's sexy, deep, funny and honest. it's been a real pleasure to read it. Thank you so much for this amazing gift.
And I was wondering 2 things: - do u have more fics? if so, where can i find them? - can I share this fic with my friends? Cause I am dying here to email it to almost anyone I know. LOL
Just lemme know, ok? And again, you should be very, very proud of ur job. I've never read anything like this, except for the BDB books.
Thank you so much for reading and leaving us such a lovely comment. We're thrilled this story is still reaching people and making them smile. So, to answer your questions:
Yes, we have more fic (both together and solo) and they're all at bdb_fanfic. You can email your friends the link or whatnot and thanks again for the awesome compliment. We love "the boys" and this story was the result of our fan girl need to see them together. We simply couldn't rest until it was done. ;)
Ok, call me stupid but I don' know where to find this bdb_fanfic...I know nothing about Live Journal, in fact I just signed here so I could "talk" to u...So, if u could leave me a link or something it would be awesome.
And I've finished reading "true" and man...I am in love with you, girls. IN LOVE. *laughs* Just wanted u to know that u have made all my dreams about V and Butch come true.
And there are stacks of other fic there, including fics written by Sky, myself, individually and together. Its easy to join the community, and we keep it closed membership because of the anti-fanfiction attitude of some of the fans.
Awww. We're so glad that you enjoyed it. With all the recent interest, I've gone back and started rereading True. And we're just over the moon that so many people have enjoyed the HEA that sky and I always wanted for these two.
Thanks again for the beautiful comments. You have seriously made our day. Hope to see you over at the bdb_fanfic com.
IKR? Can't comprehend the anti-fanfiction. I mean, I can sorta understand Ward's POV. But seriously, its a compliment more than anything.
And you'd think that a fandom like this would be all over fanfiction. But some of the fans wanna 'kiss ass' so to speak. And report anything. So ... eh. Us fanfiction lovers can stick to ourselves.
