hey, thanks for reading! i'm glad yr having a good time w/ it B)
altho i gotta say, no reason to add any lil "s! the frapp logs may have a deceptively simple format, but this fic caused more than a bit of sweat and lot of tears/stress to see through (and it's currently causing even more, as i'm undergoing a rewrite of this entire fic and boosting it up to an eye-watering 36 chapters, 244,000 words). the amount of planning and note-taking during this whole mess was honestly even more so than my lore-heavy prose-centric fic, and this fic also doesn't pull punches on the amount of side-plots, extra characters, and information tidbits i drop throughout. chatfic isn't for everyone, and the amount of effort people put in can vary wildly, but it's certainly no easier nor harder to write as a genre as any other fic, even if it looks wildly different! that said, i hope you enjoy the ride, and if you like it, you'll be able to experience it again in, like, HD when i re-release it to be even bigger and gayer and lacking even more braincells from the cast than ever before, haha.
Oh no, don’t get me wrong- I can *absolutely* tell that you researched and planned and put a shit-ton of effort into it! Your characters are solid and realistic, their chat names are stunningly genius, the way you very casually insert information about everyone’s genders/orientations/relationship status has me internally keysmashing every four seconds and the way you still manage to convey information in a chat format even when they’re at house parties together is some next level impressive.
I will admit the irl Pyrrha/Weiss parts remain my favorite because you write that prose beautifully and I’m a sucker for all those little moments that can’t be shown in a chatfic style (Pyrrha’s smile and nervous rocking and the sheer amount of flowers and that entire mood, for example) but like...idk. It feels weird to call it a fic when I feel like someone just handed me their phone and I’ve been scrolling through all their phone messages?? But I don’t know what else to call it either.
TL;DR: you took I format I have bad personal associations with and struggle to read (to be 100% honest I only gave your fic a shot on the high rec of a friend of mine and I’m SO glad I did) and made this hilariously charming, adorable, sometimes *uncomfortably realistic* chapter-turner that I’m very much enjoying even though the stubborn salty side of me didn’t want to bc of past bad experiences??Basically??
TTL;DR: All my comments have been attempts at praise, and I apologize if instead they came across as rude or criticism (Insert Panic Here)
