um.. i dont think the words interpret your faith ... is how i quiet see it.. i dont interpret my faith differently ... a sin is a sin and a deed is a deed ... what i do believe is intention of act determines the judgement around a sin and the deed and not the act on its own....... giving charity to show of.. and act big... is not a deed .. because the ultimate aim is personal gain and not charity ...

if you see what i mean...

but a person alone can answer on intention ... and that only person alone can do

At the moment he 'knows' what he's doing is wrong - but if he reaches a point where he can freely be with Christian, that means accepting the fact that it isn't wrong, that it's okay. He'll have to find a compromise between faith and love. Will he cope with being an out gay muslim? Will he reach a point where he could comfortably tell people he has a boyfriend? Will he be able to accept an interpretation of his religion that includes his relationship?

Or do we think he's already halfway there - after all he now seems quite comfortable in Christian's bed - happy to sleep in instead of dash off.

I'm blathering now - I suppose a lot of this stuff won't be answered until there's a reveal and we see where everyone ends up after it.

I think Syed is definately getting a little more comfortable with it now - In Tuesday's ep when he said, "You're not tje one about to be 'outed' by Postman Pat", he didn't actually sound very concerned that he was going to be 'outed'. Of course, this could just be lazy acting from Marc (a first!), but there have been other moments too where he doesn't seem as paranoid.

Re A Matter of Time: The author says s/he already has the next few chapters written; they always wait until Friday to make sure the next chapter fits with the week's canon happenings.

I have it on good authority that the author has been working on it today but may or may not have 'wasted' her time debating whether or not Syed had sex with a woman while leaving the document open in the background. But the chapter's looking to be about 7000-8000 words and that is just insanely long. I know the chapters are long but that's taking the piss a bit. I don't know how to split it up except missing the 2012 part out, but then it won't make any sense, so... yeah.

Oh, oops, my cover is blown. Yeah, so, I've been kind of embarrassed about it and honestly? When it was first linked, I was totally going to own up to it but reading everyone's comments on here made my day and I didn't want to wreck it by people feeling obliged to be nice because they want to spare my feelings. But people have been asking when it's getting updated a bunch and I feel bad, because, you know, I have the ultimate insider information and I know what it's like waiting for a fic to be updated and having no idea when it will be- it's so frustrating. So, yeah, um, I don't actually know when it'll be updated?I'd say 90% of the chapter is definitely written, just the 10% linkage 2012 bit needs to be decided on. The weekend seems likely. Friday's being optimistic, but it's possible.

About the whole producer thing? Given my discomfort with writing any sort of sex scene (I can rarely make it through a senimental moment without one of them making a joke- it's a thing. A sex scene between them written by me would be like a stand-up comedy gig!), I would doubt very much that the producers would learn much!

Oh, and all you guys saying it's a happy ending? It's not a happy ending at all. Christian and Syed die in a horrible car crash coming back from Jane's funeral. Just kidding. Jane and Christian die in a horrible car crash coming back from Syed's funeral. Actually, in all seriousness, I have no idea how it's going to end. No-one's going to die, though. I don't think, anyway.

Just... if a chapter's awful, tell me, okay? So I can learn and grow. I'm not encouraging you to say it sucked, obviously, but if does suck, feel free to do so! I have thick skin.

It's amazing! I feel slightly stalkerish now condsidering I've been reviewing on ff.net for like 2 chapters lol but I love it! And no, it really doesn't suck. Far from it! I spend pretty much every chapter laughing at a quote! Oh I'm actually really happy it's you, no idea why lol

Because... I can't go a scene without breaking some sort of joke to kill the moment? It's very me.


Hee, not stalkerish at all. Stalkerish is me reading all the comments and being like and not owning up.

God, no. I couldn't write original fiction for all the tea in China.

I sort of write as it comes to me and then go back and add anything to it later. A lot more thought goes into this process than the actual writing process, which is pretty easy. A lot of my editing comes down to Syed being too nice. It's terrible problem, I'll have Syed saying things he'd never say in a million years- like, just because he's out (or more accurately, has been outed) doesn't mean he's going to be OUT, you know? I'm always toning it down. Christian's pretty easy, relatively speaking. Zainab is a freaking nightmare, though.

I've got 20,000 words written out (I can't believe I've written 55,000 words. And I've deleted a lot of stuff, too, so I bet it's closer to 65,000) but I'd say about half that can't be used for a while. So after this chapter's posted... erm, there'll be long wait, unless inspiration strikes?

I really, really want to post the reunion because it made me ridiculously happy to write, but it won't fit in until later on. I was tempted, actually, to add it on to the scene where Zainab's begging Syed not to go, to counteract the angst, but I thought the angst for fitting for poor Zainab.

Well however you do it, you really do make it really good. Your like an author of a story that you get addicted to!

It is by far the best fanfic i have read and am soooo impatient for the next chapter

It is really easy for me to picture it all in my head...I have such a vivid imagination hehe.
Looking forward to your next chapter!

It's you !
It is by far the best fanfic I have seen. It's great. It is so nice to read and also very realistic, I can totally imagine that it could happen like that if they wanted to give us a happy ending. I go back to check if there a new chapter almost everyday.
Well done and carry on with the great work! (As long is doesn't interfere too much with your coursework, we want you to do well!)
In retrospect, now that I know it's you I realise that I have always found your posts on this thread very good, in the sense that you understand Chryed really well so no wonder the characterisation is so good. Because it didn't feel like it was really them then people wouldn't have liked you fic so much!

While I'm not surprised that Syed is angry with Lucy, he shouldn't be rude and ungrateful to Christian.

I wish it was tonight now! Well, I really wish it was 26th November now but I'd settle for it being 7.30 tonight I wonder how many more times Christian is going to have to stop himself saying the L word between now and then?

Aww… you were afraid of ‘outing’ yourself on here? That’s oddly appropriate and it makes me want to give you a big hug!
Now I feel bad that I didn’t comment on the awesomeness of your fic earlier, but believe me when I say that I absolutely adore it. It’s one of those fics that make me want to stop watching EE, because whatever they will throw at us, it’s not going to be as good as what you are writing. Been checking for new chapters every day

And how old are you? 17? Most 17-year-olds I know can’t write a correct sentence to save their lives (yeah now I’m just exaggerating, but seriously, your writing is awesome).

(About the horrible car crash scenario: shush!! We don’t know if any EE people read this thread. Don’t put any idea’s in their heads! )

This person has been making his life hell for weeks and Christian knows who it is and won't tell him, who else can he get cross at? I'd think it would be natural to be a bit frustrated with the situation. ie knowing Christian knows but he still doesn't, he's the one who's been going through it for weeks... paid £300, been in a constant state of paranoia, lived with the pain it caused his family etc etc so I can certainly understand it. I wouldn't want to carry on knowing the person is out there but not be allowed to know who it is still.

Ungrateful and rude Syed worries me... even though I understand why he'd blow up at Christian. I'd be pissed too if *someone* knew who'd been persecuting me for weeks and refused to tell me, even if that *someone* had been 'brilliant' and gave me amazing bear hugs!
I'm looking forward to seeing what he says to evilLucychild! She deserves whatever she gets. I have no sympathy for interfering, selfish teenagers. :P Go Syed! Just don't threaten her too badly, remember you're a good boy!

I think it's quite understandable Syed freaking out when Christian's not willing to tell him it's EvilLucy... probably would do the same myself, push till the edge to know it. Hopefully he'll appreciate and understand a bit later... just wish they don't leave us having to imagine it... but yeah...

I also love that fanfic, momentarything! Count me in in the people regularly checking for updates...

Yes we don't want him going too far, that wouldn't be Syed but she deserves a bit of a scare!

Yes hopefully later Syed can calm down and reflect that it was a difficult situation for Christian what with her being mugged too.
