Hey lovely peoples. I feel like I'm falling behind and looking at stuff (I see there's a ton of art and fic around) but I am seriously short of time at the moment. My play is in its second week (going really well! We've had some great feedback) and I'm back at work (arghhhhh Year 3! Such a steep (re-learning) curve from teaching Year 7.

The conversation on the last episode has been epic! I'm making my way through all the awesome comments. Once again I thank everyone for being so awesome and respectful of other fans thoughts. It was a pretty divisive episode - I suppose the thing I'm hoping is that at least some people are beginning to see that there are two sides here. Once both sides can be seen it makes things a little easier to accept (maybe?). And even after reading all the stuff I am still feeling positive and excited for this direction. I know in my heart of hearts this isn't the end of their remarkable and amazing love for each other (can't rehash it all here - but it's expressed in much of the replies in the reaction post).

(Just did a small flist tidy. Mostly removing deleted journals, inactive comms etc. If I accidentally removed you (ack!) let me know…)

Yep! I'm a teacher. I was trained as a high school teacher but I've found myself in the primary school system. I've mostly been teaching upper school but this year they threw me a curve ball and put me in with the little ones. I feel well out of my depth.

And I hope people can find something balanced there. I know it's hard but even after I've done all the reading (and come to understand why Sam is being regarded so harshly) I am still feeling that there's something positive here. I've also been pointed in the direction of other positive posts which is great to see. Good to see some other fans seeing hope and appreciating the two sides story. :))

I think so - the world is unbalanced enough already without Fandom joining in...

Hi,

I did she her post and I have been meaning to read that review (I have been so wary of reviews. Most seem to want to say that it's totally bad what's happening now). But I loved this. It was wonderfully balances and made a better case for Sam than I have been able to (i think *g*).

thanks. Gonna have to rec it myself now. ;)
