I just read your story for the first time. Thank you so much for turning me into a quivering, teary eyed mess, Dave. I'll probably sleep about as well as Camilla and be a zombie at work all day.

But it was worth it! Far and away, the best of the fan fics! *:)* *:)* *:)* A worthy sequel to the film and fully in the spirit of the original story and characters. I bow to your achievement, and thanks so much for your hard work. _O_ ^O^

BTW, you might want to edit the links here: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1743 The oebfa.com link goes to a different story.

Ahhh...the dream reaction! Thank you too, Hermes, very much. I'm sure I don't need to suggest that you take pride in your emotional intelligence and capacity for feeling [in a world of moronic, hypermasculine killbots] but I will anyway :mrgreen:

I just read the piece by Ridiculous Mavis and (like most of you) loved it. As was pointed out before, the author is very good at writing dialogue and maybe even better at analyzing the muddled and contradictory emotions the characters find themselves in. I also think that having Agnes be the one who breaks up with Elin rather than the other way around is very perceptive.And the chocolate milk leitmotif, as an image for the teenage love that seems to have been lost but under the surface is still burning, is great. R.M. is a little less versed in constructing an arc of tension, sometimes things run too slow or too fast. E.g. the point at which, suddenly, Agnes supposedly realizes that she has not only fallen in love again with Elin, but has actually never stopped loving her. This seems overdone. One wonders why she has left her then in the first place. As Cheevers already noted, the text offers no real clues. And Elin's change of mind between chapters 9 and 10 also comes a bit unexpected. But all in all, a wonderful read.

If snaps is right that R.M. is no-one but Fran from "Show Me Love, Please" - with whom I exchanged quite a few emails back in 2005 - that would be great, proving that even though their web pages disappear, the FA lovers themselves will resurface somewhere, somehow. :)

Hey everyone. It's been a long while. I was just wondering if people might have come upon some new fan fiction lately or if they've made some of their own that they wouldn't mind sharing.

Mine, a year in the works, is still...in the works. :roll: This little avatar I've been using the last few months is a new character who meets Agnes and Elin.
