I am working on that post now! It is stupidly long and I don't know if I'll finish it today, but it should be up by the weekend. I'm focusing mostly on Jenny, but there's some discussion of other stuff, too. And the verbosity of it has totally leaked into this comment, heh.
Thanks so much for the comment! I was so pleased to get it, especially since I don't even know if there's anyone on my flist who watches GG anymore, so I wasn't expecting much of a response to this post. I'm happy the fic worked for you, as it's so incredibly self-indulgent and I didn't think anyone except me would even care all that much about it. *g*
Dan was really easy for me to write (no surprise there; most of my Buffyfic way back in the day was Xander-centric), but I felt like I was all over the place with Blair. The more surface-y stuff, like the bit you mentioned and the banter with Dan, felt pretty solid to me, but every time she got more serious I couldn't tell if she sounded like her or if I was just putting my wish-fulfillment words in her mouth. (I also totally cheated by glossing over the scene with Chuck. I thought of like twenty ways it could go and couldn't pick one! I am 99% percent sure Blair is lying, or at least selectively interpreting the truth, when she says her plan worked, though.) I feel a bit better about it after reading your comment, but I don't think any GG fic I write in future is going to feature her very much.
I especially liked the stuff with Dan and Dorota.
:D Thank you! I love Dorota. More often than not, the stuff on the show with her is uncomfortably classist, but Dorota herself is awesome. There was no way I wasn't going to work in a scene with her somehow.
Best ending ever, tbh.
It is an ending Blair should get more often, and it's clear that fic writers will have to be the ones to provide it, since the show doesn't seem inclined to.
