Announcement re: Look After Your Brother

[ladyjanelly]

After re-reading it about 18 times, I realized that this arc of the story is really and truly complete, and that if I was to write any more on it, it would be a seperate story, addressing new issues in their lives.

I may or may not do more with this universe in the future, but for now, to quote Rocco, "It is done!"

Thank you so much to everyone who gave me such wonderful feedback, and to 4bdnsn0wflake for being the best beta-reader I've ever had.

Here's the quick link to the LAYB memories page. http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=ladyjanelly&keyword=Look+after+your+brother&filter=all

Again, thank you all. It was a wonderful experiance to write.

Thank you for the compliment, and you're very welcome for the beta.

It was a pleasure.

LAYB is something you can be very proud of.

I'm so glad that you posted this on bds_fic and that we got to know each other because of it. :)

Errr...didn't mean to use that icon. I meant to use this one. ^

Damn not being able to edit replies.

It was pretty cool. there were a few people who'd been waiting to read until it was complete, and they can read it now, and a few people had somehow missed the last chapter, so they were excited about it. Got some good catch-up reviews over the past few days.

I am very glad I wrote it, and very glad that I wrangled you into beta-ing it for me. :) It's a pleasure knowing you, lady.

I had a really good time betaing it.

You're a great person to beta for, because you know how to take criticism, but you also have a clear idea of what you want and how you want the story to go.

You're not afraid to talk things out or stand your ground when you feel strongly about something.

You're also very talented. :)


It's a pleasure knowing you, lady.

^ Dude, I feel a cyber-hug coming on.

*squishes and cuddles*

:D

Look After Your Brother is in my top 3 favotit fics of all time. I really wanted more, but it did seem complete. I love your writing and as long as your writing anything, I'm happy as a clam.

You did a fantastic job throughout the entire series. It's right up there among my favorites. Thank you for sharing your gift of writing :)

Oy! I just finished reading this and I'm late for work, but I have to tell you, it was amazing. I watered up a lot. Those poor guys put themselves through so much, each of them suffering in their own way. I loved Conner's love for his brother, willing to do anything to make him happy and twisting himself in the process. He came across as the much more giving brother, but I'm not sure if that was because we were looking at events through his eyes or not. Murphy was a little more demanding, even though he tried his best to spare Conner what he thought was an unwelcome burden.

Oh gosh, I'm kind of babbling here. Mostly I want to tell you that I loved this series very much!

[ladyjanelly.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. It was probably the hardest thing I've written.

I think Connor gives more because he thinks more. Murphy seems more driven by impulse instead of reason.

Also, the BDS/Constantine x-over was great! I'd love to see more of that. I adopre John .Sorry to comment here, but I couldn't send e-mail at ff.

erf. Adore. my fingers are faster than my brain....

[ladyjanelly.livejournal.com]

That one just sort of appeared in my brain. :) There's a quote somewhere in the Hellblazer comicbook where someone says of John "He'd go to great lenghts for interesting sex" or something. Always made me want to play with a sequel.

They do owe him a favor afterall.
