good one

Wow wee that was some talk wasn't it. Loved every word of this story. Thank you so much for writing it. 

I discovered your stories on mags-nificent.com (at the beginning of July, via a shout-out from tagsit on Midnight Whispers, if I recall correctly) and sent an email to express my admiration and appreciation via that website at the end of July.

I didn't discover the QAF series and the related fanfiction until early June of this year--no idea how it escaped me until then.  Now I can hardly tear myself away from anything QAF-related.

Regardless, your alternate universe stories are some of the most fascinating and well-crafted that I've read.  Hands down, I think they're the best edited--and that does make reading them a greater pleasure.  I really appreciate a fanfic author who cares about editing; I can understand why it's sometimes neglected, so it's that much better when the opposite is true.

I'm not certain which of your series I like the best: Spin and Fall; The List; or In His Kiss and its sequel Together. I've already read each series more than once.   I'm going to pick In His Kiss and Together because they have provided the longest reading pleasure. You introduced incredible, well-fleshed-out, new characters as well as developing other characters further.  Brandon and Todd make an incredible couple, and I adore Jessica.

I think you should post all your series on Midnight Whispers, not just “In His Kiss”.  No matter where you post them, your stories will be a hit.

I'm hoping that one day there will be a sequel to Together, as you hinted might happen at the end of that series.  Any chance of that?  It looks like it has been a few years since you wrote stories in the QAF universe.  Please let me know if you reenter that realm.

Thanks again for your incredible stories!

This was a great story. I am always happy when I see Brian and Justin together and in love. I can't wait for the sequel.

Hi!!

I found QAF on YouTube, went to Google images, saw a picture with a name of a story on it, and ended up at MW.

I read your other reviews and saw you had completed The Kiss on MST, and went their to read the rest of it and your other stories.

Now I am back here, rereading The Kiss.

I'm from sunny So CAL.

Hi there! I just wanted to say thank you for writing this story and especially, thank you for getting back into the fandom.

I can really tell that you love Brian and wanted to give him the respect he deserves. In my opinion, you've allowed him to gradually grow and change without making him to OoC...that is OoC to what CowLip did to our beautiful man. I believe that Brian matured over time, so the show Brian, in my opinion, was completely out of character.

Another thing I enjoyed was you kept Justin youthful, sexy and excited about his future. He didn't become jaded, self-righteous and selfish. It was nice seeing his relationship with Daphne continue to be strong and present.

Speaking of Daphne...it was really cool to catch a glimpse of her family when Justin was young. I loved their playful banter and making fun of Justin. Although, I'm not really a fan of racial comments...you made it funny. Really...I've had a lot of racially diverse friends and sometimes we got silly like that. It was all in jest.

Of course...I had to mention that I love that you didn't make Lindsay, Michael and Melanie into hateful, sadistic, psychopaths. Although I abhorred the way they treated Brian in the show, I'm glad that treatment didn't continue in your story. 

Oh...the sex. First of all...the first time they had sex was on that dance floor. OMG...I was fanning myself...Muy Caliente! When they actually consumated, it was amazing, but the first time Justin "came apart" in Brian's arms and Brian felt it happening...was CRAZY CRAZY HOT! 

I didn't intend for this to go on so long, but I would have said so much more had I commented after each chapter. The first time I downloaded, I only had up to Chapter 15...and I freaked when I finished that. I immediately came back here and saw you added and had up to Chapter 30...and nearly screamed. I was thinking, "OMG...she lied that it was complete!" I was so happy to see that the last 5 chapters were here. Now I can't wait for "Together"! YAY!

**Having read M/M books and watched M/M movies for a couple of years, I found QAF U.K. first last April/May and loved it! I felt so lost when it was over and decided to watch the U.S. version. At first, I was disappointed thinking that they copied U.K. verbatim, but then it took on a life of it's own. I watched the first season on YT and I was hooked and NEEDED to buy the rest of the series. So, I bought all five seasons and have watched it more times than I can count (except for Season 5).

After that, I NEEDED to find other people like me...I knew you were out there and finally found Fan Forum, which has a QAF board that started in August of 2002. There I met some really great people who have been in the fandom for many, many years...and are wonder fanfiction writers too! 

Through my immense love for QAF, I started making clips of scenes and started a YT Channel. Then I started making GIF's and screencaps. Since then, GIF making has become my favorite hobby. 

I really wanted to share my love and one of the girls over at Fan Forum recommended for me to join LJ and share over there. I started posting and one of the members "introduced" me to other long time members and now I get to share my love and enjoy theirs.

Oh...and since November, I've had the honor of becoming Co-Mod on the QAF boards and it's been wonderful! Our board boasts being in the Top 20 of almost 300 boards...including new shows and random OT boards. In May, we celebrated 350,000 posts! In August, we'll celebrate being on FF for 12 years. Can you tell I'm excited? :)

Oh...I live in Florida, I've been married for 25 years and have 3 beautiful teens. 

So...you asked!

P.S. Do you have any other full-length QAF fics? 

Thank you for sharing this story, it will be one I read over and over again.  So beautifully written.  This Brian/Justin dynamic is so provocative and sensual, it's truly reading a love story.

I found QAF for the first time 6-9 months ago and took 3 days off work to watch my newly aquired complete series DVD set and fell in love.  And cried for weeks after as I couldn't get over the finale of Brian and Justin parting.  I still can't watch the final episode again even though I've watched the whole series 3-4 times now.  Since then, I've been devouring fanfiction to the point of having temporarily abandoned one of my own fanfiction pieces because I can't stop thinking of these two.  sad...

I live in the US, in the Midwest where cornfields/wheatfields and urban sprawling dominate our landscape instead of skyscrapers and inner city life.  I do love to travel to larger cities than KC to experience all they have to offer.

Thank you again for sharing this emotion filled story.  I look forward to seeing this continued in a sequel, so much more to tell of their story.

:-)

 

I really really enjoyed this storyline and look forward to your posting of the sequel.  This last chapter was a delight with them getting on the same page and agreeing they are together.  Now I think Brian is just a tad jealous of Brandon.
