Well, it's like having a DVD commentary isn't it? I love DVD commentaries.
When it comes to the different reactions to Jeremy's death I don't have too much trouble seeing them as different things. It would have been freakish if I had called it closer to the show's version, but both come from a similar understanding of Elena's character and the effect it would have on her, the differences in the details are explainable based on differing circumstances.
The stuff with Elijah's attitude towards Klaus...I just feel mine is much more interesting than the show a lot of times. I don't feel the need to bring mine more in line with the show because the way I explore it here is obviously, more in line with how I see the characters and their relationship. And I'm able to see a lot of similarities, but in the differences I often prefer my way. (Also applies to say Elijah's attitude regarding Finn's death, I can fanwank why it is what it is in the show, but mine feels a lot more true to me.)
I pushed aside many one shots just because of the "brush off in the name of porn" but not once I felt it here.
I'm glad to hear it; and really, when just reading it through the couple parts I noted for the commentary don't jump out at me the way they do when I stop and think about what I should say about them. It's a suspension of disbelief problem, if the things that are bigger stretches are supported by things that are believable you barely notice the things that just on their own you would have to stop and raise an eyebrow at.
that couldn´t get through to me just because the darkness was too overwhelming and no light left (and that´s not how I like to see EE)
That's not me. It's not how I write, it's not how I *ship*. As dark as this prompt was and as much as I do love angst, I don't love darkness or angst when it's just darkness or angst. You've got to find the right balance, and it's not the same balance for every story. It's not even something you can really plan (at least I can't), you just kind of find it and can sort of sense when it swings too far off balance.
I am feeling a little more inspired to get back to think about the next part of the series. I’m struggling with getting all the pieces straight in my head so it starts the way I want. As usual Damon is being annoying at not wanting to go where I need him to be.
You're welcome
