Nice to meet the author of so many of my favourite fanfics Hello and welcome back

I pop back, find that there's a new thread and Greenie is the OP!! And now..........................Saaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!! So good to see you again!!!

Saz's fics were the first Chryed fics I ever read...helped get me hooked on Chryed!

Hi, Ditzy! Aww, I'm sorry ((hugs)) It's so bittersweet, isn't it? I get quite emotional about it as well. It tends to come in waves. One minute I'm fine; the next quiet and reflective. I mean, I woke up this morning with this russling noise coming in near my ears. I soon found out that it was coming from somewhere near my head, so I touched my head ... and realised I had gone to bed wearing my shower cap. I hadn't had a shower that night, and for the life of me, I honestly can't remember when and why I put it on:sleep:.

Strange as it is (or it isn't), it was the thread as much as the Chryed's story that has made the experience so worth while. Never ever in my whole life have I felt the need to share, discuss and talk about a s/l of any type with anyone, let alone a whole thread of strangers.

Talking of change, yes, it's true it is and can be incredible scary. But I was also thinking how much I've changed in the way I see and consider things since 2009 which isn't scary at all, though it surprises me at times. But I didn't change all by myself; I had a whole load of "strangers" help me do that. It's altered the way I think and behave - and all for the good (see below).

I might post a brief list of the things you guys have helped me with in the near future. I should begin with:

1. Turning quite mad and doing things like going to bed with a shower cap. Thanks, guys. Much appreciated:sleep:

But yeah, Ditzy, it's so bittersweet atm.

Hello

It's so lovely to see so many old and familiar posters around right along side all the (to me) newer ones

I see many people feel the same way I do, we got a lot of rubbish recently (and not so recently), perhaps lost interest a bit, but now that it's almost over, we want to enjoy every last second of it!

*waves to everyone*

Great post ...I'm totally the same, minus the shower cap!! :sleep:

Hello to all the old posters who have popped in

I've been trying to busy myself today to keep my mind off of it all - doesn't seem to work though

Hello to everyone

I'm gonna try and post now because at the minute Firefox appears to hate DS and keeps chucking me out. I have had a wonderful evening with a man from the water company unblocking my drain that has leaked sewage into my garden - and I thought Chryed leaving was the worst thing that could happen for the rest of the week (there's always time, I guess). What annoys me was our whole block of houses was affected but only I bothered to ring....sorry I'm off topic...sorry

I'm just popping in to help us reach the 300 thread mark and to say I'm here. I have read a few posts from today - all very interesting. I truly believe that if Marc had had better stuff to do he wouldn't have gone, but he was being wasted and I agree that it is such a shame. And I worry for poor Himesh feeling lonely It is intriguing that so many actors seemed to want to get out of that show just before BK went.

This! I forget for a bit and then it all comes back I just hope it gets easier.

Seeing their names on here make me feel so emotional

But their names are together! Like they always should be :')

Evening

Congrats on the OP grenniespex

Great to see more old faces popping in

Felt really emotional today, think it really hit me for the first time.

There is so much to celebrate though, brilliant to see all the reminiscing over the thread

If I was asked to predict when they'll be leaving I would have said 2013. November is so soon, I thought we'll still have them at Christmas

But it's nice to see them go together

mine too! Awesome

Lol. Aww, what a shame:sleep:. I feel quite lonely now:sleep:

Elphie: I saw that, too. So weird to see their names on that.

Joanne: Same here. My caring duties helps a bit, but what an era coming to an end. I'm going to miss it.

So lovely to see lots of faces old and new!


Seeing their names on the leavers list makes it all seem so final.

It's really happening isn't it

surreal, your list of memories is fab.

So many hours spent on here! No regrets from me though - and that includes foregoing holiday plans so I could be around for DC week. I felt like and let's face it, was the biggest saddo ever at the time, but it was worth it. Chryed have been worth it. My best personal memory (ie recollection of undiluted joy) has to be finding out that the Icelandic volcano had closed Edinburgh airport, wrecking my work trip and meaning that I was able to watch the Reveal and - more importantly - Perfect Moment with the thread. Good times.

Anyway, on to the here and now. I was feeling all optimistic yesterday after seeing JP's tweet, but am now back to channelling ardchoile/Eeyore and seeing the gloomy side in everything.

Someone has posted the following comment on the DS article: "Inside information just been received and if it's true it's gonna be an absolute cracker!!!" No guarantee this is based on real info of course, but "absolute cracker" doesn't sound like the description the average EE viewer would give to a beautiful CP followed by sunset ending. "Absolute cracker" + "explosive exit" + the supposed car crash-becomes-fireball filming next week in Bristol (ok, possibly totally unrelated but the timing fits) + JP's "It is the right end to the story and for Christian"......Yes, they're clearly leaving together, but other than #vivachryed the little evidence we have actually points to a tragic ending rather than a happy one. How devastating and how very EE would it be to have Chryed get their CP and then literally have a "til death us do part" ending in the same week/ episode - possibly with Christian dying in a desperate, Superman-esque but ultimately vain attempt to rescue the love of his life.

From a short-term draamatic perspective, and as an angst whore, I have to say I think a tragic ending would make much better telly than a CP, lottery win and move to that dream home on Miami beach. However as someone who loves Chryed and would like to be able to read the occasional fic, or at least imagine them living their perfectly imperfect happily ever after in a place where the poisoned pens of the EE storyliners can't touch them: Ack.

Oooh hello! Another fan of your fics here Good to see you!


Awww Thanks for the link! I've never seen that page before

Oh I really hope one of them doesn't die. I mean it would be preferable to them splitting permanently or falling out of love and I know EE is all about the drama but if anyone ever deserved a happy ending, it's Chryed. I love angst but one dying, please no. I want Chryed to leave together and happy!

VF has made me feel concerned for Chryed again. It really is like old times.

It's hit me that they're actually going now and it's just horrible.

If EE kills them off I'll just pretend it all never happened.

Forgot to ask - DO PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW THE SPOILERS? I think I'd rather be surprised. Some advanced consensus/agreement might be a good idea?

Has it been confirmed there will be a CP?

With such little time and Danny i am not convinced that will happen. With EE you normally go out with a bang so one of them dying to save the life of the other would fit that bill.

Look at Bradley's ending . Dennis's ending.

All very well loved couple's and they still ended up 6 feet under.

If EE kill Chryed off I'll never get over it! Death needs to stay well away, is a happy ending so much to ask for?

I wouldn't be surprised if they get the perfect wedding only to die later. Drama. Blah :sleep:

Oh .....

If one of them died...Yasmin would not remember one of her father's Gah, heartbreaking thought
