starcrossed.

starcrossedfic

I used to talk to you all the time about how Giselle was basically my spirit animal. I understood her on levels that were beyond my comprehension. You made her tangible, not just mentally but emotionally as well. You made your characters riddled with flaws : Larry and his manipulative tendencies, Giselle and her knack for refusing to face things head on…..even Laurent had flaws. Yet you cultivated them and shaped them all in a way to where they were still endearing. 

You helped me understand that everyone is a work in progress. I held Larry accountable for his actions throughout the entire fic. There was no point where I thought Gi was overreacting or being stupid. In fact, I was irritated that she didn’t just say fuck him because I felt like he was saying fuck her feelings by forcing himself into her life - even though he knew she wasn’t ready. He knew she was perfectly stable without him - he KNEW the effect that he had on her and many times he used it against her.

I resented him Brittney. I didn’t want to forgive him. But his growth throughout the story was difficult to not commend. I had to give it to him towards the end - especially when he’d owned up to his mistakes. I had to realize that he may have been a selfish person, he may have been manipulative; but over the span of the story he evolved (not changed), he evolved into a person who was more aware of other people’s feelings. And that made me become more aware of his. 

The fact will always remain that Larry loves Gi more than anything else in the world. And Vice Versa.

I had to write this to tell you that I am amazed by you and by this fic. You grew so much along with your characters. It’s astonishing. You took a group of ashy ass, annoying ass, flawed ass people…..and you told their story in a way that showed their vibrancy from every angle.

You made us laugh with them - from the time Lau said he had to drop a bomb.

You made us cry with them - from the time Larry fucked and ducked Gi.

You made us roll our eyes - every time Gi brought her ex Adolf’s name up.

i know gi has a special place in your heart and you understand her even when i don’t. i love that you loved my characters and i appreciate that you were aware of how much work i put into molding them into these multidimensional beings..

i always strive to build the type of characters that hunt your thoughts even when you aren’t reading. the ones that piss you off and make you emotional and with gi and larry, i feel that i was successful.

I was just telling Brittney how much I appreciate you.

I read the comment you left for Starcrossed and it made me so emotional and grateful to have readers who really do appreciate the work that authors put forth.

I’m so glad that you like the story.

I’m so humbled that you like my writing style.

You were team fuck Larry? That’s so refreshing lol.

your comment meant a ton though… you don’t even know the half!

That name is honestly the bane of my existence.

for my pilot.. the chicken, the pasta… without you, this chapter would still be drying away in my drafts, thank you.

-

you actually learned something about yourself from MY stanking ass writing? sis, are you serious... i’mma cry.

Giselle was very easy to judge because she’s so realistic... she’s the girl you see everyday.. she’s your friend, your sister, your cousin. she’s flawed and imperfect. she’s human.

it was very important for me to write her in a way where she had all her shit together (in the physical) but at the same time she didn’t. it’s very easy to look at some and judge them straight away... and it’s equally as easy to judge someone based on their actions, only because YOU wouldn’t do it... blah, blah, blah... Gi was a joy to write. she reminds me of so many women I know.

love did win and i’m so very happy with the concept. after all the bullshit, they deserved a cute ending.

thank you for reading and giving me amazing feedback time after time.i realllly appreciate you... you don’t even know the half. you’re amazing.
