Oh yay, I'm glad you're here! I love binging the show, it's totally formative for how I view romance, SO so so so much. I'm sorry your faves have poofed, that was part of why I felt driven to write this! It's been on hiatus for a while because of vision problems but it completely lives in the front burner of my creative mind and is absolutely still going strong.
I really tried to picture Christy in the actress they chose for the tv movies but she is absolutely wrong in my mind! I wanted to hang in there for a cathartic kiss, but well... you can see I wrote my catharsis elsewhere.
I'd love to hear what you think of the story as you read, but no pressure, I'm just so pleased that you let me know you were happy to find it! I hope you enjoy.
I just finished reading what's all posted! (No worries on the vision problems. I had eye surgery 4 years back. I completely understand! I hope you get back to it someday, though!)
My thoughts continue to alternate between as follows
*Giggle/laugh* why are they so cute?
And
*Fans self* oh God thats hot.
But no, in all seriousness, everyone is represented in such a faithful way. Their voices all come through loud and clear. You provided just the right amount of dialect for flavour and portray the inner thought world of Christy's mind so well. It's absolutely a delight to read. You built up the push and pull between her and Neil so deliciously with tension and tenderness that only every grew on the show. It feels like the most perfect of natural progressions. DEFINITELY a good catharsis after watching The Road Home tonight.
Criminal that I waited a month to respond, thank you so much for this comment! I'm doing okay post-surgery but I'm realizing that I need a new prescription for glasses I've barely had for 11 months, which is tough for the writing endeavors! I shall overcome, hopefully by the end of March...
They ARE so cute, they deserve every minute of these moments together, we were SO cheated!! I adore this show, and your encouragements and compliments mean so much, especially because I wanted to do justice by these characters. It was hard to represent certain aspects (Miss Alice's frustration with Christy and Niel's relationship, Neil cutting himself off despite Christy's support, the struggles Dan still goes through, Fairlight being harsh but fair, the kids making things awkward, and even David's jealousy, but those are every bit as much of those characters as the support, camaraderie, and genuine love they show each other.
