Well guys, it's that time again: time for me to bitch and moan about how I can't get the next chapter to cooperate.

This is possibly the most out-of-character installment I have ever written, with not one, not two, but THREE characters behaving in ways that seem like a bit of a stretch. And, if that wasn't bad enough, the chapter suffers from one of the most egregious cases of mood whiplash I have ever seen. One minute it's :lol:, and the next it's :'(

Excuse me while I go crawl back into my hole and agonize over minutia that you guys probably won't even notice.

Ditto to what Thore said! I don't think I have words to describe how much I love TOSOT, it's just that amazing. ^_^

One of my favorite quotes from the entire story is from the emotion maze I could not stop laughing for 5 minutes.

JIMMY: This is so hideously out of character! It’s like we’re caught in the middle of some horrible fanfiction! We’ve got to get out of here! Come on, Jimmy, think! Think…thiiiink….

Just so many good things too quote. :D

That was undoubtedly the most fun chapter to write. I actually still laugh whenever I go back and read it.

FYI, my new goal is to finish TOSOT by January. As to whether or not this is feasible...we'll see >.< I personally think it is, and I think that Katie and Krista (who have both seen how close I am to being done) would agree with me.

I have had at least two dozen requests for a sequel (mostly on dA and ff.net), but as you all know that is NOT going to happen, since I am swearing off fanfiction after the completion of TOSOT. However, what I will do is open up a "Word of God" Q&A session where readers can ask ANY question about events after the story, and I will give an answer (ex: "will Future Libby and Future Sheen get married squee/gush/mushinessoverload?!1").

Anyway, ya. Now you know the master plan.

We want to KNOW these things!! :grr: lol. I really do hope there is a happily-ever-after for those two, considering all they've been through together.
I think that S/L is probably my favourite pairing, and FS/FL is... strangely really, really hot, but also kind of beautiful. I care more about what happens to them than I do about the Dictator Jimmy arc, which is probably wierd, but that's how I roll. B)

Replace the first "t" in subtextual with an "s", and you've hit the nail on the head ;)

Innuendo, implications, insinuations, and alliterations aside, who wants to beta read the next section?

Is Katie going to get stuck proofing for me again? >.<
