At last, an ending.

[deathpixie]

The last instalment *inserts hollow laugh here* of Collective Mutants is done and posted on OTL and Southern Stars. Go read, or not; all I know is, I'm not writing any more. I'm a horror/crime writer, not a soap opera writer, dammit! ;)

Loved the ending. "Not with a bang or a whimper, but at an airport, which was a little of both". Beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Made me a little weepy, I'm not ashamed to admit.

Glad you liked it, Duet. :) I probably sounded a bit cranky in my advertising, but that series has been going on almost as long as I've been in fandom... And yay for weepy! Means I hit a nerve, which is good. :)

Congrats. I'm interested in seeing if it makes anyone else cry. :)

[deathpixie]

So am I, actually. :) Thanks, mate.

You know...

After reading some of "Book of Dreams" I'm beginning to understand why you like Sandman so much... and where you get some of the unspeakable eww-ness of the horror thing from... *grins*

Very happy to see some resolution in Collective Mutants, even if it's unspeakably sad about Fatimah. The Fish/Allison thing was just a little too dangly at the end of the last one. I loved the little detail about how her tops fasten with laces down the back. Mmmm... I would have thought that her mother would come, even if it meant defying her father... dunno, actually, maybe not. Allison's self-centred-ness was also nicely authentic. And the bit where Fish goes "I dunno about _you_, mate," about getting sex was hilarious. Oh yeah, and the symbolism of fire and water mutations just not mixing was pretty, if subtle.

Why no more soap opera? You do it so well... *sticks tongue out at Rossi-mama and runs off giggling*

Bah. No more soap.

Thanks for the feedback tho', Mouse. Warm and fuzzy happies from my end of things. :)

And I'll be at training on Monday - I had visitors on Wednesday and they came first.

Ah... I, on the other hand, am very lazy and in desperate need of tops to wear to work after an exceedingly busy weekend. (Not that I remember doing anything at all, but it seems to have been busy. *looks confused*) So I'll be going home to do ironing and have a nap, methinks.

Hmm... Wednesday is Chinese New Year dinner thing which Mum is making fuss about, so not then either... Maybe next week? *plaintive look* I will bring Book of Dreams back then too. I'm now dying to read the actual graphic novels though.

Actually, I can't really train until I have this wrist looked at by a doc anyway, so it might not be for a while. Guess I'll have to go find some other exercise to do so I don't bloat any more... (all that sitting around at a desk all day reading contracts and snacking to keep awake is TERRIBLE).

Oh crap, forgot whether I mentioned it or not. But if I didn't, please don't mention Eric to Will. I'll tell him. Eventually. But I don't need to hear his disapproval right now. And it's really none of his business anyway.

*eeps* Did I not feedback you yet?

I'm sooooooooooooo sorry!! *buries you in hugs* I really did mean to before now, as I totally loved it. Well written, completely believable (and sometimes funny) dialogue, characters that I still manage to care about...

Have I told you lately that I love you? 'Cause I do.

And I know you said this is it for the series, and I won't try to talk you out of that...

...


...no, really, I won't! (Although you shouldn't make dares like the one you did at the beginning of the fic, ya know. I happen to have lots of spare plotbunnies, like some kind of closure regarding the whole Fatimah situation... *innocent look* What? You thought you only had to watch out for Phil?:P)

Re: *eeps* Did I not feedback you yet?

[deathpixie]

Thanks a heap for the comments, Obsidian. :) Does my ficcer soul good to know I've done something people enjoy.

And yes, no more. Mainly because I'm getting to the point where I'm resenting the time and effort and I'll end up doing horrible things to the cast if I continue. Like put them in a crossover with John Constantine and wait for them to be bloodily killed.
