"Eljay knew that being 'nice' wasn't exactly something most young children aspired to be, but he wanted them to know that it was perfectly fine to be nice, nonetheless."
I'm not sure why I feel so partial to this line, but I do. I think I just wanted to applaud you for playing such a sweet, sensitive character with such earnestness and dedication even after all this time. I just want Eljay to have all the world peace he wants! *sobs*

I do not understand, why Eljay has not had more appreciation as a long-standing character! I want to remedy this by saying that I am very happy that you and Kat gave me an opportunity to adopt and raise Elfie. And to you specifically for helping me create a coming-of-age arc for Eljay's boy that would not have been possible otherwise. It has been truly an honor to collaborate with you in guiding Elfie through his path of self-discovery and growing up. Thank you! :)

I love all of your characters because you're absolutely legendary at richly developing them as unique individuals. Eljay is a great example. There is no other character quite like him. It's hard to read him sometimes because he's always struggling and you as the reader suffer along with him due to your exemplary writing. I am granting kudos to this post in particular because I feel like it's such an organic and emotive response to a really horrible situation. (Plus, I selfishly loved using this little "curve ball" to write Towhee's reaction.) He cannot be easy to play, year after year, yet you do such a fantastic job and deserve ALL the kudos!

"Eljay sat quietly by Wiffle's grave, where her body was buried (or so he thought, anyway)." Oooooooooops, lol.

I'm gonna go ahead and kudos this one though there's so many in this thread (and with Eljay in general) that deserve it ;.;. These two messes are disgustingly cute. You write Eljay's insecurity and difficulty expressing himself so well <3 and he's such a full, truly wonderful character. I can't wait to see where this whole thing goes

I love those moments, when Eljay stands up and speaks his mind. He has such a good heart and Wraen has not appreciated it enough.

Eljay just wants to help everybody, even when he’s not given proper appreciation. My character may be a butt but *I* appreciate him! :D

What an incredible character. There's so much depth just in these few lines: "He'd always thought that.. maybe, one of them would get tired first. And that person would decide to move. Or maybe, they'd decide together. Talk about it. Talk about where.
It might not have been an ultimatum or a demand, but Eljay felt the pressure of those words. He felt how much it meant, and how much it meant what he'd reply. And he was in no state to handle any more being relied on, having to make decisions, being needed."

Kudos to both of you for the painfully realistic depiction of how relationships can sometimes be so beautifully complicated. These two are such complex characters on their own, it makes a lot of sense that their personalities would create an emotional powder keg at some point. It made for an incredible read!

I was waiting until the end to pick my favorite post but tbh I can't! I love Eljay so much. I'm kudosing this one in particular bc the bit about wanting to be involved in the conversation is so good and so nuanced - as is the comparison to how he's been feeling lately. I just wanna give him the biggest hug ;.; I adore writing with you, always, and cannot WAIT to play out where this goes next!

"He couldn't help but think that's easy to say when it isn't your feelings or your children." <3 This entire situation highlights what I love about collab writing so well, and this sentence in particular. Eljay is SUCH AN AMAZING CHARACTER

This - "He felt used. Convenient to have around, so long as he didn't want anything. Disregarded, because he'd never asked for anything, so that just mean he didn't want anything." - is the strongest I have ever seen Eljay feeling. Great character arc! :)
