Because it's my life now...

Until I am finished reading Emancipation Proclamation, I cannot update this blog. I know I said there was another fanfic review coming on Sunday (yes the day that just past and was yesterday - errr two days ago as its now 1:45am on Tuesday) BUT I cannot wait to discuss Under the Apple Tree and how my life as I know it changed when I read it BUT I just can't do it justice until I am done EP.

WHY?

SWEET Jesus and for the love of the Golden Child.

UNF

THAT is why. Mafia Princeward OWNS me.

And badass Mafia Carlisle? I don't know if I hate him or love him but 64 chapters in and I'm pretty sure if he were real and in my bedroom right now I would JUMP him.

*dead*
How I let this fic wait in the wings for so long is BEYOND me and until I am finished reading it, I cannot concentrate on anything else let alone rant about how AMAZING another fic is.

The GOOD NEWS? I'm 14 chapters away from being done which means HOPEFULLY there will be a new blog post of actual relevance by the weekend.

Capiche? thats very mob-ish, isn't it? fitting? yes?

In the meantime, I'll continue to look like THIS while reading.


If you are NOT reading EP - how about you get on that? So you know - we can talk about it and exchange prescription drug preferences because God knows I'm probably going to need it.

kidding - i think.

If you are STILL not sold, as if me saying I need Atavan to survive post-EP is not a big enough endorsement, please watch this because THIS among a million tweets surrounding the epicness SOLD me.




Ok. Now that I just spent a half an hour on this post that I could have been reading EP - off I go!

Laters Baby.

[A/N - yes I am kidding about the Atavan but I will totally have liquor nearby when this fic is done. And Toblerone. And if you read EP, you know what I'm talking about. And to @KJN52 and @kate_suena who have been by my side since I jumped the band wagon late and began this fic - you realize I will be coming to BOTH of you for therapy, right?]

Yesss my sweet girl. We have our EP support group as you know...i.e. journal Entries... I think you'll agree that as you progress towards the final *sniffle* chapters, this story only gets stronger, the writing more brilliant and the reactions more visceral. I don't know what to say about EP just yet, I just hand it over to people and say, "it will change your life"...much like Under the Apple Tree, as you know very well, C. This story is elevated, and I am sure will be known as one of The Greatest, if not THE Greatest written. It consumes wholly. And it reminds me to breathe...even through the pain.

CAN'T.... STOP.... READING.... EP. O_O I'm only 8 chapters in, but I am completely and utterly hooked. I want to go home and lock myself in my room.

Elle - I had the same issue you mentioned in your last comment! I would open a bunch of chapters on my web browser to read at work because the wireless isn't always dependable and they'd be blurry. Now I have to scroll through and make sure all the words have appeared. Annoying but SO worth it.
Do you have Twitter?!

That's what I ended up doing too... scrolling through each page to make sure they were all good. SO VERY WORTH IT. I'm hard into a serious EP trance right now. Chapter 36. Ugh. It owns my soul. There should be a support group.

I DO have Twitter! I don't talk on it much... but it's @rashal
