Can't Stand It - by nosunlight
« on: September 14, 2007, 12:07:03 am »
Heya,

I just started this story tonight and I really like it so far so I thought I'd start a thread.  I've only read 3 chapters of the existing 40, so I have a long way to go still.  It's an au that picks up the story at the divorce scene and re-imagines different decisions and scenarios from that point.

 :)

Hey bud,
I wanted to start a thread for this story, too. You beat me to it  :). I second your recommendation.
This story had me hooked from the beginning and has managed to continue to do so to chap 40. Sometimes stories need a a while to develop a grip on me, sometimes stories are captivating from the beginning, but get weaker later, when the first original idea of the set-up wears down. Not this one. Highly recommended  :).

Thanks Chrissi and Amanda.

I'm always interesting in a new story. I've started reading White Picket Fences and Apple Trees after you recommended it Chrissi and i sure wasn't disappointed. I really miss this story and I hope that the author hasn't given up on this one... :-\

Re: WPFAAT
It's been almost half a year since the last update  :-\
Recently I read in a comment over at LJ that midget had no plans of updating it. But the comment wasn't by midget herself, so I have no idea how reliable the source is.  ???

I'll bump the WPFAAT thread here at BM and ask if anybody knows something about it.

Thanks for the rec Amanda and Chrissi.

Yeah, somehow Can't Stand It was under my radar too.  I really love the first several chapters so far.  I can't wait for the weekend to really start so I can read more.  It's a happy thing to realize that there are 40 chapters of this one already available.

Wow - frequent updating, for sure!  I'm just about caught up on this story and enjoying it very much.  A nice combination of humor and serious subject matter.  Thanks again for the recs!

I just finished reading chapter 41 last night! 8)  So, this most recent update is very timely.  I'm planning on reading the new chapter tonight.

I am still really liking this story.  The writing style is really charming I think.  I especially like the way the kids' characters are written... I think their dialogue, etc. seems really realistic.
