Re: One More Finale

[Gouki]

Yeah. This fic does need a bit of explanation, originally it was a pseudo sequel, that took place between chapter 10 and 11 of my first BHH fic, Aftermath--but still be able to stand on its own. Aftermath was also written having only seen two BHH episodes, Invisible and Magnet, so it wasn't very good.

This was an experiment to merely look in at the characters, and try and disect what they feel and who they are, at the same time challenging other peoples views, and just being plain trippy.

It's definitely not to everyone's tastes and that is part of the reason why I'm posting it hear to gauge a reaction. That and, unlike my other fics doesn't rely on slash (despite a few hints) or subjects that shouldn't be posted here.

I'll be surprised if anyone has major objections to this, beyond the Corrine chapter. In my mind, Corrine is a very conflicted character, and the chapter, in my opinion, holds more resonance when taking Corrine's questionable alleigances into account.

I should add in here, that I was pretty depressed when In started writing this. I found the Lucas chapter easiest to write, but I never had any real sturggles except with Vaughn which took me the longest to write. I really hope that in some way this fic strikes a personal note--it should make you connect.

Like I said it's my favourite and I'm proud of it. So, please review it, but, at the same time, don't just review it to say things like 'ZOMG!! ITS T3H H4RD +0 UND3R5+4ND!!!oneoneone11!" Actually write something worth reading.

Yeah, and who do you think the mystery voice in the Josie chapter is? It's pretty obvious. While on the topic of the Josie chapter, it's a lead in both to chapter 11 of Aftermath and an ongoing plot in Insomnia. Which will not be posted here, I'm afraid.

For relevant reading: Aftermath is here. And the response thread is here.

Well, you've already had my reaction to this fic twice and you know it officially has the HailStorm stamp of approval. It's pretty brave, actually - the style is pretty unique in the fandom and nobody has done anything similar since. It's nice to see a fic that concentrates so much on the characters - what makes them act the way they do, what they're afraid of, what they want and need, and what they make of themselves, conciously and subconciously.

I thought it was absolutely wonderful. It obviously took a lot of time analyzing the characters, and, in my opinion, your analysis couldn't be more accurate. It's almost exactly as I had pictured the characters' various internal struggles. I enjoyed it, and now I'm going to re-read Aftermath..I'm not sure why..but, again, well done!

Yeah, I know this is old, but it's never too late to post feedback. I was digging through the fanfic thread last night and came across this story. I hope you don't mind my commenting on it.

It's definately experimental, but I think that's a good thing. Experimentation is important in writing, although it's not always appreciated on a forum like this. This is a good character study, and I think you gave some excellent insights into the characters personalities. Especially Marshall; I've always gotten the feeling that he likes to keep everyone happy, but that he's not always showing the "real Marshall" to them.

There; now you can't say I never read your stuff.
