My name's Kimberley (sorry about the anon - just havent got around to getting an LJ account:))
I came across this verse when you first started posting, last year, and I pretty much fell in love with it right there and then. Which kind of suprised me, because tattoos, skating? not really my thing, but now, having finished this verse, well, i have to say I've completely changed my mind (I kind of adore watching LA ink and Miami ink now, because of this verse, though Slinging Ink would be a hundred times better!)
I'm not sure if this will come out right, but probably what I'll always love most about this verse? is that it kinda changed my thoughts about homosexuality. I was never homophobic, but I go to church and well, ya, it's certainly never viewed as acceptable you know? And I suppose I mostly agreed, but then i started reading fanfiction and well, you can't really read fanfiction without slash, and so i ventured in, and my mind started to change, and then I found this verse, and for some reason this is the verse that just really, i dont know, spoke to me about it? it's just these guys! these two beautiful, not perfect, real guys - the way they love each other and are so right for each other just can't be wrong (which sounds so very cheesy but anyway)I love the way you dealt with the issue of church and faith and being gay in some of the stories, and I kinda want all my friends to read it and understand? because I think there would be a whole lot more love and peace in the world if people could just understand others and where they are coming from, and really, isn't that kinda what God is all about?
um, anyway, just wanted to say thanks, because although its probably not the reason you wrote it, it had this affect on me, and though I'm still trying to reconcile my feelings about it all, I'm really grateful for that.
i hope all this doesnt make you uncomfortable or anything (that was never my intention! - i guess its just me trying to figure out my own head) i just wanna say thanks anyway:)
oh, and the final chapter was awesome but now i want a whole lot more to fill in all the blanks - like Chad and Sophia have a daughter!! and Bray and Adrianne and how they meet! (I thought for a while he would marry Elle, but Adrianne is awesome)
