panik | Blue

I've posted Blue. Here it is.

- Only to 852 at the moment (and yes, it's riddled with the inevitable glitches, why can't I ever get it right? Why?!) but soon to ASR3, I hope and also a new website (coming soon).

I started writing Blue 2 years ago when 20 people contributed $10 to watch this monster get written on a private LJ com, with another 5 getting their updates by email.

Special thanks to the magnificent

runriggers for one of the most rapid betas I've ever had, ever!

If you're planning to read it, be warned it's 126,000 words long and it's angsty. You would expect it to be, I suppose, angst is my MO, but Blue is mega-angst of galactic proportions. I didn't intend it to be quite so very packed with pain, it was sort of an accident. Sorry.

It's slash but in its very mildest forms. There's nothing much there, really, that would mither even the terribly sensitive.

I thought that the charges being resolved without court was very realistic. And boy the wheels of justice can move pretty slowly, that's for sure. And Blair would have been so very, very vunerable on the stand. He probably would have had a seizure. And I met to add that you did the seizure stuff very well. My husband has a seizure disorder and how you described things was right on.

And I probably didn't say enough about Jim's pain, but it was there and very evident. Jim says stuff without thinking it through very well sometimes. Blair babbles more, but it's harmless stuff for the most part. Jim goes on the attack when he's feeling defensive.

Adapting to change. It's hard. And Blair has just kept narrowing down his comfort zone till he's just in this very tiny little space. That's so not healthy, and he needs to broaden back out but it will take time and effort. Therapy, therapy, therapy.

Really loved the story, and I can handle the angst. People go through good times and bad times and as characters that makes them more complete.

Hope you do find the energy someday to dip back into this story line.
