Love Ted and Emmett. They are being supportive. Absolutely adore Deb for putting Mikey in his place. Will Brian tell how they met or not?

No what I meant, is if you know how many more chapters you'll be doing to finish out the story. I do like how you split up the chapters, though. Sorry for the confusion
Author's Response: Wow...I'm both pleasantly surprised and distressed by your reply...I'm a very "Dirk Gently writer" (a Douglas Adams character who follows cars that look like they know where they're going, but, surprisingly, always ends up where he needs to be). I do the same with very basic plotlines, letting my stories develop as they will, for the most part. The Ian-assault charge-sex tape plot needs to be resolved, as does Justin's "people problem." I also plan to continue exploring Brian and Justin's relationship (given that Brian is new to relationships and Justin is new to passionate, loving relationships) and Brian's two sides (the one he shows Justin and the one he shows the rest of the world, which is even more pronounced a difference given Justin's altered background, making Brian "softer," and Brian's non-canon love of romance stories). Then of course, throughout, I plan to continue having Justin and/or Brian tell various kinds of stories in various ways. I love the metatextual aspect of this story (I think this one (of my stories) is probably my favorite, too, although the Forbidden is a close second). I have no clue what length that translates to...but if I had to guess, I'd say at least 80 more...I'm probably way off...I'm not a good quantifier...I could never guess how many jelly beans are in the jar :) :) :)

I love all of your stories but this is one of my favorites. I'm loving it. I was wondering though. How many more chapters do you plan on having? Just a matter of curiosity. I love your work and please keep up the excellent work. XOXOXOXOXOXO
Author's Response: I'm so glad that this is one of your favorites! I'm not sure what you're asking. I assume you mean how many more chapters for this dinner, rather than for the story as a whole...I do this a lot with b&e. As you may recall, their first meeting spanned six chapters...the new bed, three...the high school fantasy and aftermath, five...and so on. Basically, I break at what seem to be natural pauses, and I write until I run out of story. Translation, I'm not sure :) :) :) But if I had to guess, I'd say one more, maybe two.
