Thank you for your kind words. I hoped that my story would do just that: bring closure. I unfortunately agree; I don’t think another AYITL will happen (though I hope against hope that I’m wrong!).
You are also very right that fanfics are hard to write. I feel like I was able to come close to the true characters’ personalities only because I’ve watched GG...oh, I don’t know, about 1,000 times! I have to say that writing this story was one of the best things I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing. I have been working on my prequel but, being my worst critic, I feel like it’s not true to Lorelai. (Feedback would be appreciated, whether good or bad!)
Thank you again for your compliment. It is so nice to hear that my story is still so well received.
