Thank yous.
I thought that I'd give a few personal thank yous. Because there are people I couldn't have done this without. And I'm eternally grateful to them.
First and foremost, the girls (and guy or two) at the BL S&S thread are all to thank. It's literally the only place on the internet that I've found as a haven for Blers. I felt like giving back to them. This was about faith and since I'm the captain of their ship, lol, I thought I needed to write out faith. I hope I did you girls proud.
The MSN girls are love. I love FF because it brought me to all of you. 3 You girls have my heart.
Cami- Miss Camila, you started this. It's all you. You wanted canon faith and I wanted that for you. I hope I did that for you. I hope you enjoyed this very long one shot. Slash labor of love to you. Hahaha. It was written in your honor and you are the new awesome, your icons are love, and I love you. .kis. That's me taking my heart out to you.
Chey- I have been writing things down my whole life. No one has ever known about or seen my writing until you forced me into it. You believed in me and made me believe in myself. For that, your semi-permanent eye damage (:P) and many other reasons- I love you. Thank you for being a friend. Oh and remember this- (I know you'll appreciate it) "Yeah, losing your heart's desire is tragic. But gaining your heart's desire, it's all you can hope for. This year, I wished for love. To immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic, then give me tragedy. Because I wouldn't give it back for the world." Plus- It is better to have loved and lost than never to love at all. Don't hide out babe; it only breeds regret. And you don't want to hang out with what might have been. I only say it because I love you. I really do, Chey, and I only want what's best for you.
Christine- BG- My twin. My family. I love you. I can't believe that anyone, esp our own parents :no, would be so cruel as to separate us at birth. All of these years! I've missed you! And you missed out on a year of legally drinking! It's an outrage! Seriously though- you pushed me as much as Chey to come out of hiding with my writing. When I need intellect, I come straight to you. There's so much to say that it'd take forever. So I'll just thank you for VM, and thank you for your love. It means the world to me. You're my favorite. By default. Of course. ;)
Lou- My partner in crime, My TLA, I remember the first day we talked. It was the day that I posted season four. The fact that a writer as amazing as you was anticipating my update made me want to update so much more. Thank you for all the proofing and pushing you did. We're going to write that pilot. And it's going to be awesome, since we're both made from God's box of fabulous. And our triangle won't suck. Because we actually know the right components to a love story. You were 95-101 in the reviews. It's because you are awesome. And I love you as you love me 3
Kristin- I know you didn't give up on this. Even when I did. Thank you for caring enough to bug me. It's finally done. Woot.
Dana- I know you want me to write more. I don't that I can. I want to you write more too. And you haven't. Thank you for so openly loving this story. You're an amazing writer and your opinion means the world to me.
Olivia- Your reviews are made of win. I love the way you read. So actively picking apart every detail. The fact that you take the time to do that means everything.
Amanda- Thank you for reviewing. I know you don't like to but you are made of win and so are your reviews. We may disagree on some things (coughLoganEcholscough) but we'll always have BL. ;)
Carol- You came into the story (and chats) late. But you are so awesome. If ever I need my ego stroked, I'm coming right to you. Thank you for loving my story. It means so much to me. And remember, we're friends. You need me, I'm here. Always.
Lizzy- Even though you owe me, I love you! At least I know you like the story. Thank God for 3 am drugged up convos. Hahahah.
Kel- You read over the first couple of chapters for me and always assured me when I needed it. Thank you!
Janie- My soulmate. I miss you lately. Thanks for reading! Come onto MSN more! LU.
Shailee- You are my partner in all this getting a certain someone fired campaigning. It will happen. Thanks for reading hun. And thanks for the texts letting me know how I'm doing at two am heh.
Audra- Thanks for reviewing. It means a lot to me that you liked it.
Ali- Are you still here? I've missed talking to you lately! Come on more often. When you aren't avoiding working. Thanks for reviewing.
Everyone else who took the time to read or review or add me to your alerts and/or favorites- thank you all. It means the world to me that this story was so well liked. Maybe I'll do it again sometime. Not anytime soon. But maybe sometime.
I just want to say that I started this for faith. I ended it with a great appreciation for the writers. And a love for you all. But I also sort of let go of BL. In a way that I didn't think was possible. This is the way I'll always picture it happening. I'll never accept the crap we're being served right now. And if it doesn't change .. this is just the ending for me. I hope you all have that same sense of peace. Thank you once again.. and for good times sake.. review once more please :)!!
