North inside

I'm fine

I'm really curious, how would Seth react when Andrew and Neil's relationship would have been revealed if he had stayed alive? Oh, my poor homophobic fox.

When Andrew didn't let himself be drawn into the conversation with the Foxes after Baltimore, Neal wanted to explain it to others so they wouldn't get upset. It's so sweet because Neil cares about Andrew's social acceptance by others.

Every time I go somewhere far away, after reading aftg I think I'm escaping from my normal life like Neil Josten.

The way David Wymack interacts with Neil is wonderful. The coach never demanded love or gratitude from him, but he was always there, understood even when Neil did not understand himself. And Wymack was often the one from whom Neal sought answers about Andrew's behavior. God, I love that.

Sometimes it really seems to me that foxes are not just characters in books. It's like I knew them in the past, but I lost touch, and I just remember these faces, and I miss them madly.

Kevin Day didn't open Neil's folder, which he received for safekeeping, and this is one of the nicest things he did.

I see Katelyn and Aaron in this photo.

I love that Andrew Miniyard is the last line of defense both on the field and in life, and he holds it amazing in both cases.

Thank you, Nora

I really respect Nora Sakavic for being able to stop in time. She wrote the story of Neil Josten, she finished this story, and she did not make it cash and commercial, leaving it so intimate and iconic for those who loved it. And it's very cool.

Because if she wrote sequels, or created new lineups of the foxes, or developed the further destiny of every fox, or described the background of each character separately for publishing, she would really get rich. Fans would just fiercely buy up such nice things, because yes, it will always be not enough for people, we are consumers. But Nora didn't. And this shows that for her foxes are more than just characters in her books, than her earnings, they are actually an important part of her life.

And I adhere to the views in life that a good story should have an end. The endless continuation devalues sooner or later the main story, and in the worst cases it confuses creating logical holes. But in addition, endless continuations devalue the life of the author himself closing it into a ring of created history which is very difficult to break, in which it is so easy to lose yourself. And the fact that Nora understands this gives me a huge sympathy for her personality. After all she already gave us a huge number of additions, answered a huge layer of questions. And thanks for that. But the curtain must be lowered. And hope must remain) And I hope one day I can tell her in person how much I love her foxes.
