I just wanted to thank you again for this story. It really was exactly the sort of thing I was looking for when I wrote that request and you did an amazing job with it. I was pretty much stunned when I opened the story and realized just how good it was.

I hope you weren't too "omg, BEARS" when you got the assignment (but I could totally understand if you were). I know it wasn't the easiest request.

And lastly, I did want to apologize - I know the combination of the fandom and the request pretty much doomed your awesome story to obscurity in terms of recs/hits/kudos/comments. I hope you don't mind too much. In my (clearly entirely unbiased, of course) opinion, you wrote one of the best stories in Yuletide this year.
