Discovered in the Christmas Tree: The Letter Box

It's December lst in the UK! So here's my offering to all my fellow Pros lovers.

This is a timed out zine story original published in 2009 and heretofore not net posted.

Thank you for that! It took me a bit to get into it, but as things picked up I really loved how they tried to work around the situation (and the whole frantic "chase" going on).

It's almost 2 am and I *really* should be in bed, but I stayed up reading your fic, LOL.

One note, though. To avoid spoilers,

Ohhh, interesting. I didn't know that! Thanks, and thank you for reading. It was a daunting story since the film took me two viewings to "get it down". I was determined! It's one of the few stories that I actually had to make notes and a timeline to keep myself straight. :) Cheers!

I really enjoyed your story back in 2009!
Time to reread it. :-)

Thank you for posting!

Thank, firle! I appreciate your support and your comments. You always have something nice to say. :)

I can't wait til the weekend ***rubs hands together***

Cool! I'm pleased I've given you something to look forward to.

You know I loved it! Being able to download straight from AO3 is a magical touch!! Thanks for getting us off to a brilliant start!

Thank, my pet. :) I appreciate all of your help!

Oh, gifts already :D Thank you Kat!

You're welcome. I love giving gifts!

Oh wow. My head is spinning. And I read this before morning coffee, too! So, *works out on fingers* if he's writing at this time, and then... no, not then, um...

I don't care. It was lovely.

LOL! Yeah, it's one of those annoying stories one actually has to think through. Trust me, I understand. I had pages of notes when I was writing it and I had to watch the movie twice the first time. :) Actually I think I watched it four or five times in the end to get the time line worked out and then tweaked it for Pros. Heaven knows why I do that to myself!

Thank you for reading and commenting!

Oh lovely, thank you!

The movie is a favourite of mine, so I can't wait to read your story... tonight tonight! *rubs hands together gleefully*

I hope you enjoy it! You're very welcome.

Aaaaaand! LJ has finally taken pity on me and allowed me back to tell you how much I enjoyed reading it. It works beautifully (though it still does my head in - but then, so did the film *g*), and you keep it together so well that I didn't get lost once :D

Thank you again - I loved it to bits.

That's great to hear. I'm glad you found time to read the story. It is a bit mind boggling the way the timeline unfolds.

You're welcome. :)

Sorry for the quick comment but wanted to make sure I said thanks. This is really is fantastic luv, I enjoyed every single bit of this.

You're welcome. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it. That's what counts in the end.

This was cleverly done! I wasn't a big fan of the movie (maybe it's that Reeve's guy *g*)but I love the way you "Professionalized" it! You did have me worried when then bus came along in the beginning, and I wasn't sure how you were going to get them together, but you did a great job! And the kat (*g*) was fun! (sorry - couldn't stop myself) This was a great start to the DIALJ holiday season!

Thanks! I'm pleased you enjoyed it. You know I have to have a happy ending! I'm glad you liked the kat. :) Cheers!

I enjoyed this! Very different and I admire your ability to juggle the time changes and keep it believable:) I've read about the film but never seen it and wondered how it could possibly come out to a happy ending with them both together and knowing each other in the right time. Well done:)

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you liked the story. It's one of those times you suspend your disbelief. It magic!

Oh, I love how you reimagined this for The Pros! Well done indeed. Thanks for a lovely present.

You're welcome. And thank you for reading and letting me know you liked it.

I was sitting there, watching the movie and all I could think was, wow, this is a Pros movie! LOL! :)

I don't know the film, so this was a lovely and intriguing read for me, and I'm so glad they found each other in the end! And well done for writing so cleverly around varying time-lines! Thank you!

Thanks very much. It was important to me that someone who hadn't seen the film could still enjoy the story. I really appreciate that you let me know that I was successful. :)

I wanted to post my comments a couple of hours ago when I'd just finished your story and everything I felt about it was still fresh in my mind but, surprise, surprise, livejournal was down yet again. Anyway, I was very impressed with this: it was involving, intriguing, very different and I got so caught up with it I kept darting around checking out dates etc! And, despite the complicated logistics of the whole idea, you still managed to keep their blossoming relationship sweet, gentle and very endearing. I really enjoyed this a lot, so thank you for all your hard work!

You're comments made me feel super, hon. Thank you. It was a complicated story line so I'm happy I managed to write this in such a way that you were able to follow the timelines. I mentioned above, I had pages of notes and the timeline drawn out because I was determined to get it down in the proper order. I think it was the most complicated timeline in a story that I've written. Thanks again.

Ah, wonderful! This fic made my day. One of my favourite films -- and Professionalsised! Couldn't stop smiling all the way through it. I loved how you put them in this situation yet kept them in character.

Oh, good. I'm tickled you liked it. Thanks for letting me know.

That was lovely, I enjoyed reading it. I've seen the film which was quite confusing, but here I had the advantage to go back and check the dates. Thank you for sharing. :-)

I'm happy the story worked for you. That makes me happy. :) Thank you very much for reading!

I just started to open up the 'doors', thanks to lj's hick-ups :)
I downloaded the story and this will be one of my weekend lectures *g*
I don't know the movie so I'm already wondering where your story will take me ;)
Thank you for sharing and I'll come back once I'm finished!

LJ has been a bit techy, hasn't it?

I shall sit here and wait for your return. LOL!

And here I am :D Hope you found something to distract you while waiting *g*
Ah, what can I say ..... what a lovely and beautifully done story, I absolutely loved it!
I had to look back several times to check the timeline and I was worried, if they could make it in the end. But yes, a happy ending *BG*
Thank you so much for this clever written story, it captivated me from the beginning to the end :D ♥

Thank you, A! I'm happy you enjoyed it. The timeline was a bit complicated. I found it difficult even watching the film. I had to watch it twice when I first discovered it on DVD just to follow the story! :) With my story, I could write it down and it's actually a bit easier to understand. With the movie, I had to go back and forth. I appreciate that you stuck with it. Thanks again.

I read this in the zine, and I'm glad that I now have the chance to say that I enjoyed it.!

Thanks, K! I'm glad to hear that. Happy Christmas!

Very late to the party, but just had to comment about how much i enjoyed this! Not knowing the film didn't matter - thank you for a great read.

It's never too late. Thanks so much for reading and letting me know you enjoyed it.
