Here I Am, There You Are - Comments

:D

@Nanook
I can't not respond to comments! I have to!

XD
Here's my third reply, haha. But I was impressed that you responded to all three of my comments, so I decided to do the same. :P
And no worries.

@Nanook
Oh my god, I've been bad at replying.
Some really weird stuff happening, right?
I'm also sorry for the wait xD

Mmm here I am like two months later. And there you are, reading this comment. Oh, the puns. XD
Great job with the chapter! Hmm... it was interesting reading Anna's reaction. I mean, it's good that she seems chill about it, right? A little weird that she seemed all buddy-buddy to him so easily, though. I wouldn't blame Rachel if she was jealous, tbh. XD Or maybe she actually is and is just really good at hiding it lol.
But yeah, it's a little rude for her soon to be brother-in-law to just assume things, like c'mon now.
But yay, I'm finally commenting! lol, sorry for the wait.

But you read it ;)
And yes, yes I do see that pun xD
Gift choices are the worst. I can barely think of anything for people I know in real life, what ideas do I have for fictional characters?
Cats are supposed to be the lamest one. They're slowly letting Jack into their traditions, they don't have to throw him in xD

Nearly a month later... I am here!
See what I did there? XD
Great job with the latest update! Really. It was great and I loved the gift choices, they were pretty rad. Definitely unique with the map thing.
I like the sloths the best, I think. But I also love the pugs. Cats come in last; I mean, they're kind of lame in comparison to the other two. XD
I can't really apologize enough for such a delay in feedback. I suck. :/

@Nanook
It was going to be a one-shot. But I got too many ideas xD
The realness is what makes the stories believable. I often get bored of stories that only have drama and/or romance. I need my days where nothing happens and they go run separate errands.

To think I was thinking it was gonna be a one-shot. :P
And that's definitely true; it's not always romance. So I liked how you did that and kept it real haha.

@Nanook
there will definitely be more parts. Many time skips, but also many parts xD (Okay, I cant promise that).
She came around over quite a long period of time, we just don't really get to see those parts. It's been a few months (in story) since that first chapter.
Not everything's all romance or drama in relationships. Gotta keep the realism. Although I haven't been in a relationship ever myself, I'm pretty sure you have quite a lot of days where nothing all that interesting happens.

So, I took some time to catch up with this as well, since I feel pretty bad about my shitty lack of feedback recently...
I'm officially subscribed now! lol, I feel like there's gonna be at least one more part to this, if not more, so...
But yeah, interesting to see how you're taking this now. Like, going into their relationship, and leading up to another wedding. I'm surprised to see how casual Rachel seems to be with defining them and their relationship. Given her reluctance in the first part. But it's sweet how she's come around to it. :)
And even though I was extremely reluctant to continue reading this since it's not an Alex story, I like what you have of it, haha. Interested in seeing more. Also, I love the realness (like Jack clogging the toilet, LMAO). Like, very few writers think to keep it real like that so kudos. XD

@Newyork_xo
Yeah, it's a major time skip xD But they're most definitely not 100% together. Rachel seems pretty confused about what she and Jack are. It doesn't seem like they're seeing anybody else, but they haven't labeled anything, so there could be some miscommunication ;)
And that drama was totally completely spontaneous on my side. I thought of it while writing, and was like 'why not?'. At least nobody got mad, right?
And I might keep adding to it. I was thinking of only doing highlights, though. So, for example, based on things that happened in this chapter, either meeting the parents or already fast forward to her sister's wedding. But we'll see. I do totally have ideas, though.

Ah! It’s back. I’m excited about that.
I was surprised to see that they’re 100% already together. I assumed you’d drag that out a bit to keep us in suspense. But then I got to the part where Rachel found out Jack banged her sister, so there’s the drama! Haha I hope she still brings him to the wedding! And I hope you keep adding to this one. :D

@Nanook
I'm not really a big fan anymore, so it's pretty easy to stay away from xD
You're just unlucky here ;)

lol, OMG. XD I can't even imagine reading theirs; I mean, I'm not that big of a fan, but still. I like some of their songs but yet can still relate to not wanting to read theirs either lol. XD

@Nanook
I completely get it. I have that with Twenty One Pilots. They were the first band years ago that got me back into music. And as much as I loved them, whenever I scrolled through their tag on Tumblr and came across somebody's fanfiction I just cringed. It just got worse and worse with the fandom growing so big, I can't even look at their tag anymore xD

lol, that's easier said than done. And yeah, that is true that they're different in these, but it's just like, idk. XD It's so hard to explain. lol.

@Nanook
I think you should forget your view about them ;) Some of these fics people, have written totally have different personalities for them. That's what I've done. It's all fictional.
So those signals worked out xD

LMAO, well, you're welcome. :P
And lol, I honestly don't know what it is. I feel like I would be uncomfortable with Zack, too, wtf. And then Rian... Jesus, he's such a dad. XD I'm so freaking biased, I know. XD This is so bad. I guess it's just because of the way I see them. LMAO.
Okay, so honestly I sensed it when he first went over to her. XD LMAO. And also told her he had a crush on her in high school or whatever. XD Like, I understand it was under the precedent to make her feel better, but then once it got to him being the one she got with, I was just like, I knew my instincts were right. XD But then just before he actually got with her, everything else leading up to it: her turning down Zack, and then it being Alex's wedding, and then since Rian wasn't mentioned like, at all, it kind of just pinpointed to Jack. Hopefully some of this makes sense. XD
Anyway, I'm off to read the story that doesn't make me cringe, now! :D XD

@Nanook
Oh my god, I didn't actually think you were going to read it! There's a reason why I never directly told you to xD I just used it as an example for something else and then I was just 'messing with' you because I thought you were joking about reading it xD Can't undo what's been done now. If it would have been based around Alex, I definitely would have told you, don't you think? ;)
I don't necessarily have one person I like writing about more, it's just about who feels right for the story. Here, I needed a wedding where the guy was a groomsman but the main character wasn't as involved. Alex and Lisa's wedding came to mind, so Alex was out of the questions. And then it's about the behavior involved, which most fit with Jack. I even have some ideas on my ideas list based around Zack cause he just fits the role better, but I haven't even thought about writing that recently.
Maybe it made you uncomfortable to suddenly find out it was about Jack without knowing it was about him beforehand? xD I had trouble writing about Alex for the longest time, though, cause it just felt wrong with that small super long relationship he's been in (forget about the off parts). I do feel like the Jack in the story I'm going to be continuing is a lot more neutral, though. Maybe a little so in the second chapter. But then again, I haven't looked at the story in quite a while either.
I have been writing a second part for this, but I'm unsure if I like it. I've just been unmotivated to write for my other stories and decided this one had nothing to lose, so I could just pour all my crappy writing in a chapter I might never post.
Just one question, when did you start sensing this was going to be about Jack?
