Exactly! Let me clarify :-), I completely agree with what you said about the writing in canon taking the characters further and further away from what they're really like (I know that could sound stupid 'cause we're talking about fictional characters here but you know what I mean). It's like the first season writers painted us this amazing picture of two characters who had such chemistry and who were so amazingly intriguing and interesting, especially when you put them together and then, somewhere along the way, the writers (did they change throughout the seasons?) seem to have lost touch with these characters' spirit or something, like they just couldn't feel them anymore. Luckily, that's where some of the fiction writers come in. I do say 'some' 'cause, man, the crap you encounter sometimes when in search of a good fic. I've been reading B/J fics since 2003 (I'm pathetic, I know) and I must have read hundreds and hundreds of fics by now, but when anyone asks me which writers I would recommend I can never think of more than (approximately) 10 to 15 writers which I absolutely worship. You're definitely one of them. To give you an idea of what else I consider top-class writing: Maps and Legends by Rachelanton is one of my favorites as well and right now I'm re-reading "If you needed me" by Myrna, fantastic story. These just come to me now but there are more of them of course, like the amazing Ethan from Exhaleslowly and Bigboobedcanuck (don't know any of the writers' actual names), who unfortunately left the fandom when the series ended, and various others. My point is, very few people seem to really get the characters and how they would interact plus are also able to write that down in an appealing way. You, however, in my opinion anyway, can do just that and more. There's a sort of quiet integrity and finesse to your stories that I absolutely adore. I can't explain it really. I just love what you do. But, enough with all the praise now, wouldn't want your head to burst :-), I'm guessing you get the picture. I'll let you to your writing now. Glad to hear that things are going good again. I hope your interest in BJ will last for many years to come 'cause the way it is looking now, it doesn't seem like I'll ever tire of reading BJ-fic and I need some great writers to keep me satisfied and happy. So if you're up for the job... I will love you forever :-) (needless to say, I'll be looking forward for your next chapter...)x
