*smiles* I believe in long comments and being a writer myself I KNOW HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT THOSE HAVE :) and I know how these kind of comments actually make us go on and get more excited into writing another thing, and another thing, and maybe try that too, or the other and so on :) I also like to think I'm giving a public example to the lurkers ou there to come up and do comments as I'm doing as in fact it's not really hard. I know that same people might feel unable to express themselves the way they would like to and express what they feel when reading x or y, but there are always forms of saying "I really, REALLY liked this". It could be around "I was drinking my morning coffee and smoking my favorite cigarette and reading your fic totally made my day and made me think of my favorite pairing and made me FEEL them more and I maybe could have left another good comment, but this is the best I could give and...yeah :)"

i wanted to do something real (with the fiction that is imagining them together)

And you TOTALLY managed to do it. Mingling real events with DEG and fiction IS always effective. That's why I ALWAYS admired life_giver and she's still my #1 writer, because she did EXACTLY that. She mingled these two worlds, of reality and fiction SO GOOD that her chaptered fic for me actually was THE STORY, the story of KT. By the end of it I was like: "THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED!" :)
