It took me from Jan 6th or whatever the signup was to about...May 1 for the original first draft and then June for the second draft. But yes, lots of love and passion for the boys and totally blocking out everything else, which was obsessive but fun.
I know what you mean about amnesia fics being overdone and cliched, they're a favorite of mine, but sometimes writers take the easy route. If they're writing porn, I'm good with that, but I like story too, and the discovery, and the seeing with new eyes. That's my favorite part. : D
My artist was SO freaking cool, we had a massive amount of emailing back and forth and exchange of ideas and she did such a great job, and really, she went beyond and then beyond some more. It was a pleasure, and I'm in love with what she created for me.
And hey, funny that you should write your lovely comment to me today....because I'm just now, yes, this very morning, reading Crush! Seriously. I was late to work because I was getting sucked into it. I think I'm on Chapter 3, where Derek is developing what might be his first mancrush, and the object of his affection is, of course, Dean, because Derek's got great taste!
I will leave more on your story when I finish, but just this morning, I was thinking how nice it is that you wrote the boys not all goody goody all the time, not just schmoop, but really, being a little bit hard on each other, which is how I see them, this loving mix of a kiss on the mouth and then a poke in the ribs, just to watch the other one jump.

Thanks for making me late! It was worth it! : D
