I screamed with joy when I saw W! I cannot believe he got her back!

Mona is an absolute pill, Gary is heading towards grating and I was always ambivalent about Ava. I don't mind Nate terribly and the Nate/Ray bromance was adorable. Besides Sara who probably has her own fanbase I don't see any of the remaining cast having much of a fanbase. Not the wisest decision on their part.

Not a reflection on LoT but one of the Arrow birds will probably cling onto CW hence my thinking they'll dump her on one of the exisiting shows and more likely LoT than Flash.

The fact that this was not Brandon and Courtney's decision just makes me mega mega mega bitter. I shall check this board to see what happens to him and watch his parts if he gets a good ending. Maybe they got rid of Ray to make room for one of the Arrow birds? Good luck guys! Hope you don't get stuck with one of our birds!

Really? I didn't know that. I thought they were another one of those sites that lets their randos write any articles they like. There are so many of those around.

Yup me too. She made such an impression in S1 they could very well have thought of her as an original cast member in their minds. It is only a technicality. I think a lot of people think of her as an original cast member since she is more valuable to the show than certain other original cast members.

I'm really excited about the JGP in general. Cannot wait for a potential Alysa vs Kamila show down later.

Question for fanfic writers! Do you guys have favourites amongst all the fics you write? I most certainly do. The same amount of effort and care is put into each fic (actually some which have had more effort put into them are not necessarily favourites) but when I re read them again through the eyes of a reader stopping by I definitely have favourites! Some I adore and some I do not care to ever read again, despite being quite happy with it when it was first written. I don't even think it's bad, just not my jam.

I always found LMA super preachy. Especially in the Rose series which I tried to read and gave up on. Am more of a LMM and Laura Ingalls Wilder fan. Funny I used to read all the LIW books and never questioned any of the stuff I read, especially all the decisions Pa made. Now that I'm reading them to my son I really raise my eyebrows at some of Pa's decisions! I guess I have become less of an adventurer in my old age! ETA: The professor Jo ended up with was so old and poor! Was like a double whammy for me 😂!

I could never get behind that book or movie because of the OTP issues! WHY LMA!? WHY???????

@BkWurm1 the story felt like it needed to be split for better formatting (despite reading like one long yarn) so in the end I managed to split it into 4 parts complete with different section names! I'm trying this new "fic on steroids" thing and it's working well for me since I just get it all done and dusted instead of dragging it on. I'll drop it all at once but I do think breaking it up within the story makes it less messy. With 163k words you have the luxury of doing 1 chapter a week like clockwork. I would adore that as a reader. Something to look forward to every week. I'm guessing you don't need editing time as I know you're super thorough in terms of editing.

From a fan engagement perspective it was dumb move to cut the scene and use the time for the 3rd bird to have a discussion with the dog about... whatever. Olicity is their bread and butter. No one cares about the 3rd bird besides the actress who plays her.

She made Felicity into a very real, larger than life character full of consistent personality traits and mannerisms. EBR is so different to Felicity in real life. Cute too but very different. It was never "Oh look it's EBR doing her thing." I think that's why I love Felicity so much. Felicity was always so vividly real to me and so were Oliver's reactions to her. ETA: I kinda want to cry now! 😭

They really were the ultimate OTP. They RUINED all future and past OTPs for me. She was so charming and adorable and he just reacted to that adorableness all the time.

Gawd they're cute! I even heard a smoochy noise! 😂😍 SLEEP ON HER DOORSTEP AND BEG HER TO COME BACK SOMEONE FROM CW!!!!!!!!
