hi dottie!!!!
i’ve just finished reading your absolutely wonderful wonderful exchange gift!! thank you so so much <3
you said that you were worried that you didn’t match my prompts, but let me tell you that this was the fic i had no idea i needed!!!!! i absolutely loved it, and it was incredibly well done
the little youtube world that you depicted was so believable, and the setting was so vivid. the storyline was so distinct and well executed! the characterisations were incredible. the alternating pov was really well done, joe’s voice sounded like joe’s voice, and george’s all sounded like something he could have come up with. it was an amazing use of subtle characterisation! the way that it integrated the characters that we know and love into a new setting was flawless!! and of course the relationship dynamic was wonderful!!!!!!!
thank you so much for writing this, and for being my secret santa this year. i hope you’re having a happy holiday <3
Oh, I'm really glad you liked it! Honestly I have no idea what even made me come up with the setting - I guess I was just intrigued. Plus being a YouTuber would be a very fitting modern job for George, I think.
If I had had more time and energy this winter, I would have liked to deepen the characterisation and maybe include a few more characters, but as it is, I'm still happy I finished it and you enjoyed it, particularly the characterisation. I always enjoy the characterisation with those two, especially since they're both such an interesting mix of obvious and not-so-obvious traits.
Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the holidays as well!
