It made my day...

[mijan]

Even after all these years, people are still reading it, remembering it, and loving it:

I can't even put into words how wonderful that makes me feel.

Oh, that's so cool! ::hugs:: Seriously awesome! :D

*HUGS BACK*

It's amazingly awesome, and absolutely unexpected. I really needed a little pick-me-up today, and that was wonderful.

This link led me to crack_van, which in turn nearly led to me spending the next several hours reading Bones fic. I managed to stop myself and just bookmark the Bones tag on that community instead.

ARGH, must be productive!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Crack_van? Oh dear. I hope you got some productive things done! I've actually managed to get quite a bit done... considering I've been largely immobile.

I thought I'd be feeling awesome by now. WTF?

OMG you need to sue stephanie meyer for stealing your title! ;D

[anelma-unelma.livejournal.com]

Well ofcourse. Eclipse is an absolute classic :)

[mijan.livejournal.com]

LOL! *blushes* Thank you. ♥

[mijan.livejournal.com]

:p

I refuse to acknowledge that woman's pathetic excuse for Mary Sue fanfiction. My stuff is obviously superior. Sadly, my bank account is not.

*is still bouncing*

[sullacat.livejournal.com]

Wow, I never made the connection that you were PhoenixSong! I loved Eclipse back in the day. I just got this rush of nostalgia for the old FictionAlley forums, and the different ships and their threads (Guns and Handcuffs, yessss...)

D'aww, glad you got the rec! ♥

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Really? You didn't know? LOL - that's too funny. But yep, it's me! I'm tickled that you remember my fic and liked it! :D

And yes, I get all nostalgic about that, too... but still, sadly, I just have no real drive to go back. Sometimes, you just move on.

I'm still bouncing about the rec! I mean... wow. Out of nowhere, right?

[sullacat.livejournal.com]

Nothing sweeter. I got a comment a few days ago on a 'Die Hard' story I wrote a few years ago, and it made my day. Reminds me I need to leave more feedback! ♥

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Nothing sweeter at all. Isn't awesome when you randomly get a comment on an old fic? Such a thrill! And yes, we must always leave more feedback. ♥

[georgeodowd.livejournal.com]

It truly is the most memorable Harry/Draco fic I've ever read, if not THE most memorable fic period. Reading that review makes me want to read it all over again! I still remember waiting for each chapter to come out. My friend would come over and we'd read it aloud to each other and it was a big event in our lives :)

[mijan.livejournal.com]

*blinks* Wow. Seriously? I never knew you thought that. And the story about you and your friend is... wow. Thank you. I mean, I get reviews and comments from people, but these are the little stories that I don't usually get to hear. I figure, I wrote a fic, people read it, and then people move on and forget it. Thank you for sharing that. It means a lot to me.

[georgeodowd.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm glad! I still think of you as my f-list celebrity! ;)
Actually, I've been lamenting lately that I'm not a Star Trek fan, as I would love to read your fics and have any idea what they are about. I'm beginning to think I might just have to try one anyway!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Celebrity? ACK! *hides*

But Star Trek... just watch the movie! It'll take two hours of your life, and it's GOOD. Even if you're not normally into Star Trek, the movie is just GOOD. And then you'll be able to read and at least know enough about the characters to follow it. As I've been told... my writing has actually gotten better in the ST fandom. Can I tempt you with that?

[georgeodowd.livejournal.com]

Heehee, I love that you have an icon just for this very matter! Well, ok, yes, I suppose I could just watch the movie... I do have Netflix, after all. ;) Consider it a deal!

[cinnatart.livejournal.com]

Said it before and I'll say it again - 1/3 your fault I got into HP fandom. =D

(ahem. *kicks lj* wasn't ready to post that yet!)

Yes, INTO HP WITH THIS FIC. *nods* *nods a lot*

[mijan.livejournal.com]

LOL. I'll take that. :)

[glorafin.livejournal.com]

Of course it's a classic!

But did I dream that you once posted the first chapter of a sequel?

If I did dream it, it should tell you how awesome Eclipse was. :)

[mijan.livejournal.com]

*blushes*

Yes, I once posted the first chapter of a sequel. It would have been a good story - I just couldn't get myself to write it. Sorry about that. *meep*

But... thank you! ♥

[lap-otter.livejournal.com]

Wow, I can't believe it's almost 300k! I reread it a while back (it is still the first thing I think of when I think of H/D, or Potter fandom in general) in one day, and didn't feel like it took me that long. Time flies when you're reading awesome fic, I suppose.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thanks. ♥

It took me three years to write it. It was a long journey, but at the same time, the plot moves, and it's easy to get absorbed in the story. Believe me, the story took me for a ride, too.
