Ha Ha. Love this little fic. I was thrown a little by that toast in POV 2 as well. Happy It was a slip of the lip. Thanks for the story.
Author's Response:
When I think back on finishing this fic I wish I had been in a healthier state to deal with the fallout from chapter two. However, I am not complaining as thanks to chemo I am still here. It seems acceptable now to have Brian with other people and I only wish some of my regular readers had more faith in me, because for me it is B/J forever. Thank you for reading through to the end and reviewing each chapter; that certainly means a lot to me. I am extremely happy you liked the slip of the tongue. **Happy Dance** LOL
Cheers :))))

I am very certain that we are reading Ted's thoughts.
Author's Response:
Ted, is correct. I always liked to think Brian and Ted became close, but not in a Michael/Brian sort of way. Okay, I hope you didn't feel ill if you just thought of a Brian/Ted relationship like the Michael/Brian one. LOL I was definitely thinking of a more mature, mutual understanding and respectful friendship. :)))

Author's Response: You did an excellent job. I like it when a person isn't afraid to guess just in case they get it wrong. I don't mind being wrong as it means the fic has surprised me.

Author's Response: Teddy. I love Ted, yet he is the reason I copped such flak for chapter two, so he deserved the way I concluded the fic by laying partial blame with him, and his unsavory behavior. Hey, I like the idea it could be Cynthia. I might go back and read it again to see if that fits. Thanks for that thought.

Hi Flossee! :)
I just read through your entire P.O.V. series. I had great fun trying to guess whose point of view each chapter was being told from.
But I must admit, Blake overdosing and dying...My poor Ted and Blake lovin' heart :( You warned me and it still hurt.
All if forgiven though, because this fic was so lovely and unique :) As I read it, I laughed and I nearly cried. I love when a fic can makes me feel so much.
Thank you for this wonderful treat :)
~Sarah
Author's Response: Hello Sarah
What you have written makes this my best review ever; as you said it made you laugh and nearly cry. I’m chuffed that I could get both those reactions in such a short fic. I’m really glad you enjoyed the guessing and I apologize for Blake’s demise. I’ll just let you know, I never kill off a character more than once, so Blake is safe now. Thank you so much for letting me know you read this and I really appreciate you saying it is lovely and unique.

I am so sorry I offended one of your fans, I certainly didn't know all caps meant I was shouting or raving. Prior to qaf I had seen Hal Sparks on other things including talk shows, interviews, and he is here in town all the time for comedy on broadway I guess my views were based on many things but truly I found his role of Michael was smug, arrogrant and he has talked down on Kentucky in a very unflattering tone but as you said you pretty much felt the same about his character as I. I'm sorry if anyone's feelings were hurt, it was not my goal to cause any anger.
Author's Response:
Vlsope2 thank you for this review. I'm happy it gives you the opportunity to clarify your thoughts. I concur; Michael is not my favourite character and whether that is because Dan and Ron wrote the character that way, or because of Hal's portrayal of him, I'm unable to say. I will say, I'm glad Gale and Randy would question their character's actions/motives if the story seem to be way OOC, (in the sense of who they built their characters to be), and that is why we probably got two characters who we totally adore. I'm happy you felt comfortable enough when writing your review to give your honest opinion, and as I said before I will defend anyone rights to do so.
Cheers
Reviewer: Horris52 (Anonymous) · Date: July 25, 2013 12:01 PM · On: Epilogue
This might be out of line, but I'd like to comment of vlsope's comment that Michael is such a hated character, in all caps no less. Just want to say that not everyone hates the Michael character and resent the way the commenter says this is so with the same certainty as one would say that the sky is blue. You do not speak for all the readers.
Author's Response:
Horris52 you are definitely not out of line. Everyone has their own opinion and are entitled to it. I think vlsope2 writes a lot of her reviews in capital letters, so please don’t take offence at that, as I know that some people see that as shouting. You will find vlsope2 and myself have the same opinion here, that we are not fans of Michaels and again we are entitled to that opinion. It’s ashame that this review is the only way I know you have read my fic. I hope you continue to enjoy MW and this hasn’t spoilt your day.

Author's Response:
Never apologise for giving your opinion; you did it in a nice manner and you have been a nice person and reviewer by coming back and saying you liked how the fic ended. I'm sure (if the read count is anything to go by) there has been several come back and take a look, but won't comment, since they jumped to a not so obvious conclusion. LOL I agree with your analyses of Michael's character. LOL I'm definitely not a fan. Thanks for letting me know you stuck with me.

Hello, Flossee!
How I loved your fic! You gave me lots of laughs with your story. Just imagine Brian Lind and excited seeing Mel is fucking hilarious! This is something that he would never be able to explain.
After rereading the POV2 (therapists do not say we should relive the trauma to get rid of it?), I noticed that Justin said he looked at her husband (then I wondered: who was her husband with "the face of God "? Sure, it was Brian! because of that I knew there would be an explanation for the infamous" couple Brian and Michael "and she was a great move!), or another event, I need to learn english urgent and discard damaged my translator .
But leaving the jokes aside, I actually found your amazing story and how you tied all situations and disengaged in the epilogue. It's a shame it's over!
Please continue to write fics as intriguing as this.
I loved it!
A big hug!
Good health!
Fatima.
Author's Response:
I love how I can share a laugh with someone on the other side of the world from me, through B/J fics and a translator. I'm glad your damaged translator didn't refuse to translate the epilogue for you. LOL I really appreciate you saying you liked how I wrapped the story up and it's a shame it's over. I agree with you; Brian would never be able to explain away his boner after watching Mel and Lindsay. LOL Thank you Fatima for taking the time to review and letting me know we shared a laugh.
Cheers
Reviewer: HarrisA (Anonymous) · Date: July 20, 2013 10:49 AM · On: Epilogue
I'm not a huge fan of Brian and Michael either. Yet your apparent decision to change your story just because readers dissaprove is disturbing. A writer should please him or herself first, rather than let the readers dictate what goes on the figurative page.
Author's Response:
I did cut my story short, but I can assure you the first 4 POV's were already written and the 5th was in my head just waiting to be typed out. The 6th was where I changed my mind because of the readers; I didn't post it, but I was also taking in to consideration my personal health. Also the 6th POV would have been explained away in one or two sentences so it wasn't a great lose. I had written the epilogue before going under the knife on Tuesday and just wanted to complete the story; I didn't have time to post it though. I'm not in any frame of mind or health at the moment to deal with more controversy; however, I can't say I'm disappointed about how my writing can provoke people's emotions. I also like reader input and enjoy hearing their thoughts and ideas. My initial plot never changed. I hope this makes sense.

Oh, thank God it was all a bad drug-induced moment! Brian and M (can't even write his name in conjunction with Brian's name, don't want to tempt lightening) didn't get married. Sorry, but chapters 4 and 5 were just a blur (tears in my eyes remembering chapter 2), but the epilogue brought me back to sanity.
Loved the whole premise and guessing, well done! Very enjoyable... okay, just chapter 6, but it made up for all the other chapters. LOL. (Sorry, just can't let it go. I'm having PTSD over chapter 2.)
Sincerely, way cool!

Author's Response:
I should call you Sherlock. You deduced it was Ted’s POV. You know only two guys had a set of rules; therefore you deduced Brian was the subject and that he had done something of a sexual nature. One more chapter to go; I hope you like the ending. Thank you for taking time out from water balloons and cooking to read and review, I really appreciate you did that.

I'm between entertaining the kids with water balloons and cooking dinner, but I had to stop to read your updates. If Brian got hard looking at lesbian sex, he needs to turn in his Stud of Liberty Ave title. Even poor Justin nearly went blind and I bet scarred for life. And that table would be thrown in the fireplace, and if Mel and Lindsay didn't leave soon, they would soon follow.
Author's Response:
I agree; both men may need eye surgery to save their sight, and Brian needs to hand in his title. LOL I also concur, the table should go, however, poor Mel and Lindsay, they were just having a little fun. LOL To tell the truth I couldn’t write another Brian with mushy thoughts, so he got the stuff nightmares are made of. LOL I would ask if you burnt your dinner, but since I write such small pieces I assume not. Thanks for the laugh; I can just see Brian handing over his title and telling Brandon why. LOL

Suspense and controversy; thank you so much for saying that and understanding that sometimes you have to write the yucky stuff to make the fic interesting.

Well as I wrote earlier, my sanity refuses to accept as Brian and Michael (Arrrrgh!) couple. But I'm trusting you and waiting to see where his story is going.
This is Brian!
Poor Brian, Mel took Lind and fucking on your dinner table. This should cause a permanent damage on it.
And, apparently, is coming from a trip with your partner / husband Michael (honestly, that may lead me to have nightmares). And, speaking of nightmare, POV2 is one of the many nightmares Justin? (Please say yes!)
As far as my translator, thanks for the concern, he is bravely enduring the trauma of POV2.
A hug!
Fatima.
Author's Response:
I’m so pleased to hear your translator is soldiering on. Brian will need therapy I think. LOL POV2 nightmare material, I couldn’t agree more, that is why the epilogue will be next as I have discarded POV 6 so I don’t get drawn and quartered by the readers. LOL Thank you so much for commenting.

I will do an epilogue and bring it all together, but first I am going to add another three POV. I know I have one already written somewhere. I would say it's in my archives, but since I've only been writing fiction for one year, to the day almost, then I don't really think I can call it that.

My guess would be Melanie, but only because you said Ted was her closest male friend. Is it safe to assume that the deceased is Blake?
Author's Response:
Yes and yes; you got both parts. Thank you so much for reading and review.
Cheers

Arghhh. If the happy couple is Brian and Michael I really haven't a clue. Thought it might be Justin, but the Brian and Michael bit through me for a loop.
Author's Response:
You are right, it is Justin, but it’s not what it seems. I’m so pleased you didn’t slam me for this. I think the Arghhh is well justified as I feel that way about B/M fics also.
Cheers
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: July 12, 2013 02:45 AM · On: POV 1
Let me guess. Michael?
Author's Response:
I will write an epilogue and bring this altogether. Emmett was the POV1. What I love about your guess is you didn't just check out what others were saying, you obviously thought about it. If I haven't made it clear at some point please feel free to let me know my downfall, constructive criticism is always welcome on my fics and I like the interaction with the reader; it's fun. Thank you for reviewing each one, I really appreciate you taking the time.
Cheers

This is Mel! It was certainly the easiest to find.
Honestly, I just continued to read the fic after chapter 2 (I refuse to read fics with the pairing Brian / Michael), only because I like his stories and wanted to see where he was going.
I was saddened by the death of Blake and the loss of Ted.
I had high hopes that Michael would be dead and POV Lindsay would.
Excuse me for anything and any errors. I use Google to write / respond to comments.
Author's Response:
Poor Michael. LOL He is my least favourite person and I think just about everyone wanted him dead. LOL I hope you stick with me until the end where all will be revealed. Thank you for reviewing and I hope I haven’t made your Google translator any madder. LOL
Cheers

This undoubtedly is Emmet. I love the couple Ted / Blake and believe in a happy ending for them.
Love stories P.O.V. They are personal and exposes more clearly the feelings of those involved.
I really like their stories. Congratulations!
Author's Response:
I love Ted and Blake too. You are correct it is Emmett and I love him also.
Thank you so much for reviewing.
Cheers

Who is this? I can not believe it's Justin!
In what universe fuzzy Justin was happy with the marriage of Brian and Michael??
Forgive me, but I can not stand the idea of imagining Brian and Michael together. I'm starting to believe that my translator mad.
Author's Response:
OMG I laughed so hard when you said your translator is mad. I don’t like a Brian/Michael pairing either, however, I hope you stay with me until the end. Only three more POV and an epilogue; (hint) all is not what it appears to be in POV2. Thank you for the review and the laugh.
Cheers
Reviewer: Bryton4ever71 (Signed) · Date: July 12, 2013 01:48 AM · On: POV 1
you clever monkey, you! I thought it was Mikey at first talking about Brian but if it s Ted and Blake's wedding then it must be Emmett,
Author's Response:
Thank you, for the clever monkey comment; I try and make it look like people it isn’t and it’s hard to balance that with a POV. I don’t feel very clever, I feel like sometimes I make things awfully hard for myself. I am loving the response though, as I really enjoy the readers dedication to the characters and their thoughts. I hope I didn’t lose you after POV2. Thank you so much for reviewing. Now, get to work on your chapters so you can enter the challenge. LOL
Cheers
Reviewer: Cheburashka2 (Signed) · Date: July 12, 2013 01:32 AM · On: POV 3
Uhm...Very interesting, although confusing. The first is probably Emmett and the 3rd has to be Mel, but the second... It sounded like Justin, since in canon it was him that called Brian "the face of God." But the second short ended with Brian and Michael as a couple (sorry, but I just can't get behind that pairing at all), then it can't possibly be Justin. I just can't, really can't (I tried, I promise) suspend my disbelief enough to imagine Justin happily toasting a union between those two.
Overall though, pretty cool idea. Good job!
Cheers,
Vin
Author's Response:
Vin thanks for letting me know your thoughts and I’m with you; a M/B pair is rubbish. All will be revealed after three more POV and an epilogue. You have them all correct so I hope you stay with me. It really makes my day when one of my favourite authors reads and reviews my work. Thank you so very much.
Cheers

This has to be Mel. I would have sworn the eulogy was for Brian. I figured he deserved it for marrying Michael.
Author's Response:
ROFLMAO. Thank you; Brian would deserve that for marrying Michael. (Hint) this is just for you so I hope nobody else reads it. It won’t be a dream as I think that has been done to death.
Cheers
Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: July 12, 2013 12:52 AM · On: POV 2
“To the happy couple; Brian and Michael.”
WT... I thought this was an easy one. I would have sworn the POV's was Justin.
Author's Response:
Correct. Ding, ding, ding, ding. However, stick with me as I will do an epilogue and bring this altogether. Thanks for reviewing; I really appreciate all the support you give me.
Cheers
Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: July 12, 2013 12:42 AM · On: POV 1
I Love POVs. I'm going to guess that this one is Emmett.
Author's Response:
Correct. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Okay that is meant to be a correct answer sound effect. LOL

POV#1 & 3 - Very poignant, sad, touching... but POV #2 are the writings of the devil. Brian and Mikey married is, oh excuse, gotta run to the restroom - feeling ill!
POV #2 was well written, but did I mention that it was wrong, a crime against humanity, a sign of the Apocalypse?
Just joking, well done.
All the best,
Laura
Author's Response:
OMG thank you for making me laugh. I feel that way too. Michael is my least favourite character and when I was typing this I was trying not to look at the words of the last sentence, on the screen. LOL It’s a unique way of writing fic, I think. LOL I am glad I pushed myself to do it so I can grow as a writer and not just write things I think are funny or romantic. Thank you for not slamming me for this.
Cheers

I enjoyed the chapters the way the point of view was used, I always read your work and will continue to do so, but sorry I detest Michael and also the childish actor Hal Sparks. To put anyone with Brian other than Justin just doesn't work for me. I await your next story eagerly...sorry for being negative
Author's Response:
Thank you for your honesty and I am probably partly to blame for your disappointment (okay completely to blame, lol) as I ticked yes in completed box. I always had the intention of adding more so I’m not sure why my brain ticked the box. I am writing six individual POV altogether and I am posting them in no particular order. Then I will write an epilogue to bring them together and I will try and put them chronological order of how I posted them. It sound difficult and I’m sure it will be, as it wasn’t my intention when I was originally typing them, so wish me luck. I hope you come back and see the result as POV2 may not be what you think. Thank you so much for saying you always read my work.
Cheers

All three shorts are very confusing. You can't tell who's POV it is. When did you become a fan of Brian and Michael as a couple? They are well written, but information seems to be missing.
1st short - Was it Emmett's POV
2nd short - Who's POV? At first I thought it was Daphne, then I thought it was Justin, but Justin wouldn't be happy for Brian and Michael. Unless that is a type-O and it's supposed to be Ben and Michael? Very confusing, not a fan of Brian and Michael
3rd short - I'm guessing it's Melanie's POV and they are burying Blake? So confusing. Not a fan of these shorts. However, great writing!
Author's Response:
Thank you for your thoughts and I’m sorry they seem confusing. POV1 is Emmett, POV2 is Justin and POV3 is Mel. I will be writing three more and then an epilogue to bring them altogether and I hope you stick with me as POV2 may not be what you think. You must know my writing if you know I am not a fan of a M/B pairing as you are correct, it almost made me sick to write it. I hope you come back and give your thoughts on the ending.
Cheers
Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: July 11, 2013 10:47 PM · On: POV 3
Well, I got a death, just not the one I wanted. I've always liked Blake, even when he was squatting in a dank room sleeping on a puke stained mattress...Oh sure just the pleasant thought to be put into my head today...I'm confident this is Melanie's POV...She and Ted really did bond that day they went to the sex toy shop and compared things to put in a toy box. I am so pleased with the way you wrote this, I love the challenge of guessing the POV. I think you gave just enough clues if one reads and pays attention. Just that some of the thoughts were so hard to come to grips with and I will be wanted some background details on how the Brian and Michael pairing happened. I can only assume Blake must have been feeding Brian drugs!!
Lori
Author's Response:
“She and Ted really did bond that day they went to the sex toy shop and compared things to put in a toy box”. ROFLMAO. They really did have a brilliant relationship. Blake and Brian bingeing on drugs; so its Brian's fault he is dead. OMG I hope nobody else reads this as I don’t think enough people have told me yet how much they hate POV2 and now to diss on Brian, I will be drawn and quartered. LOL I better stop here. Thanks again for making me laugh.
Cheers
Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: July 11, 2013 10:42 PM · On: POV 2
Yikes, talk about a world gone mad where Justin is happy to toast the marriage of Brian and Michael. I'm sure you did this just to give my worried mind something else to fixate on. I'm just wondering what demented dream brought on this unholy event. I am really thrilled with the way you contort your mind to come up with such unique stories. You are able to keep the true feeling of our favorite show but put them in such different situations without making it seem fake or just a rehash of what we all know by heart. Now on to the next chapter. Can I hope for a gruesome death scene with bits of Michael splattered all over the road while flea infested rats nibble on his remains? I know it's a lot to wish for but the dream remains.
Lori
Author's Response:
I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date. No time to say "Hello, Goodbye". I'm late, I'm late, I'm late. No it wasn’t a dream, but I will explain it in the epilogue. A Brian/Michael pairing; it’s the end of the world as we know it. LOL Thank you for those kind words as you know how I feel about fake or rehashed ideas. Gruesome death; maybe. How did you guess that?????? Have you been using the brain again; I’m glad it’s your sleepy time so I get a turn. Thanks again for the laugh, you always brighten my day.
Cheers
Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: July 11, 2013 10:31 PM · On: POV 1
Oh my, what a clever little monkey you are. My guess is going to have to be Emmett. It would have been very easy to name a few others if I had not read the whole thing. The calm manner in which this was given made it a little harder to make a accurate guess till the final few words. I would have been quicker to claim who it was if there had been a bit of flash and glitter with a touch of sequins. I am in such a hurry to get to the next one I can't even take time to make some comments about the way Michael ruined this chapter...
Lori
Author's Response:
OMG I laughed so hard at your review my hair fell in my eyes. Oh wait; that was a hair fell in my eyes. No wrong again it’s an eyelash. I have eyelashs. Yay. Sorry I went off track. I’m glad you didn’t make any rash decisions on who it might be as you are my measure to see if these make sense. I hope you found your treat in the next chapter as it has your favourite in it; Michael. LOL I’ve been called a monkey in two reviews now, should I be offended. Can you even get a bald monkey???? Thanks for review and the laugh my friend.
Cheers

Beautiful Emm's point of view, and I guess the third one is Mel, but...the second one???? Is it Justin???? And if yes, what it means "the happy couple Brian and Michael"???? ewwwwww....
Sorry maybe it's only my bad english....
Author's Response:
You are correct with all three. Ewwwwww is also correct as that’s how I feel about a Brian and Michael pairing too. I will be writing an epilogue so I hope you stick with me as maybe POV2 isn’t what it seems. Thank you for taking the time to read this and review.

I would have to say POV 1 is EMMETT, POV 2 is JUSTIN and POV 3 is MICHAEL. But I could be wrong.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much kfan for the review as it tells me I haven't put in enough clues for POV 3. My bad. Thank you as now I will go and fix it. One and two is spot on.
Cheers

Oh, I love POV stories, even though I tend to write in third person! The 'truth' comes out with the introspection, doesn't it?
And I'd have to say Chapter one is our lovely Miss Honeycutt?
Roni
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for the review. It really is hard to know if I have put in enough clues for the person to be obvious. Yes, our lovely Miss Honeycutt is the correct answer. LOL
