Response to discussion posts

Dear Readers,

First, like I said in the chapter, when Christi started as my beta, we began talking about the story and where we wanted it to end, the first thing we agreed on is that stopping with the wedding was way too cliché. So while I won't say where it's ending, I promise it's not with the wedding.

Second, someone was worried that we would change what we have planned based on your suggestions. In a way, we will, but in another, we won't. Your suggestions for major plot events (such as if someone says 'please kill off Logan,' of course we wouldn't) will only be considered if that's the way we were going to begin with. We have decided on an outline for the fic, with major events laid out, so those won't be changing without a lot of thought. Like if someone says something should happen a certain way and we already have that happening a different way, we may consider changing if the suggestion is better. That being said, there are a lot of smaller things we haven't decided, for example some future chapters all we have written for a scene is 'show Rory/Logan at work,' but beyond that haven't thought much about what that scene will entail.

My point is to thank you for all the ideas you posted because they were what we were looking for, but also if you ever have more ideas in the future send us a PM/email/post and let us know. It can be anything: something you want to see happen, a topic you want to see discussed (even if it seems random), something that seems unanswered, or an explanation you were confused by, let us know because those are things we can add in. I also know some people asked to see more of certain characters (besides the main 6) and that's something else we keep that in mind when looking at unplanned scenes. To give you an example, Christi was watching Attach of the Clones during the writing of Ch. 30 and suggested a Yoda reference as a way to get away from the wedding planning discussion. So something seemingly random could in fact be just what we're looking for.

    Hi, I don't watch much TV, Gilmore Girls is just about the only show I do watch, nor do I generally read fanfic, but yours has proven the exception to the rule. You put a lot of effort into all the details to make them consistent with the original characters, and it definitely shows. So, I'd just like to say that you're doing great. Keep up the good work! I look forward to reading future chapters.

    I have the same feeling as the person above, although I do read alot of Fanfic well at least Gilmore Girls fanfic and have to say yours is one of the stories I look forward to the most. Your style and the the detail you give is great. Also thank you for being so open and responsive to peoples questions and comments. I know I have sent you comments via e-mail and I always get responses which is nice for readers. I like that you take suggestions but aren't changing your story keep up the good work!

    Hey!

    This story is amazing. As an idea for future chapters, I love to see Rory and Logan together at work, I makes me really happy. Also, what if Lorelai came to visit Rory at work and met her co-workers? Just an idea.

    like the previous poster has said, i love the interaction between rory and logan at work. it would be pretty cool to have lorelai, or perhaps another family member like honor or perhaps steph drop by to give her co-workers a better idea of who she is.

    anyway, thanks for keeping us updated through the blog. i love this fic and i can't wait for the next chapter.

    love the story it is one of my favorites. I really like how you balance everything. I was wondering if you could have like a company party. Maybe a party for all the NY papers or something maybe around holiday time (although that may get a little crazy with the wedding) but it would be a nice way to show Rory's co-workers how Rory is still the same person in all aspects of her life..anyway just a thought, also it would be a chance for Bri to bring Finn to an event...can't wait for the next chapter...any updates on how it's coming??
