Acknowledgments/Thanks:

First of all thanks to buyo105, chosenfire28 and pignapoke for hosting this challenge. It's really forced me to come out of my comfort zone to tackle something that's three times longer than anything I have ever done in the past and with an entirely new pairing for me to write to boot.

Secondly I have to thank kitty_poker1 who did a stirling job as my beta and read draft after draft as well as helping to calm me whenever I was flailing and panicking. This fic wouldn't exist without her.

Thanks to sinnerforhire for being my cheerleader throughout this process as well as fishing out any leftover Britishisms. Without your encouragement I doubt I would have even signed up for this let alone completed it. She also gets an extra special thanks for asking Misha in person whether he was a vegetarian so I could make my fic just that little bit more realistic *g*

Thanks to vichan for taking the time to help me plan out the road trip and work out where the boys were going to stop as well as providing me with loads of ideas for things they could do. It would have made for a very boring fic without her

Also thanks also to tasabian, lexalicious70 and littlehollyleaf for both answering my questions about the boys when they arose and for reading over the first draft for me. It all helped SO much.

And finally thanks to all my friends on LJ and Twitter who put up with all my whining, angsting and flailing for the three months it took me to do this. You guys are awesome!

I don't think I have ever been this nervous about posting a fic before. LOL!

[sinnerforhire.livejournal.com]

It's posted! Congrats! See, you posted it and the world didn't end. :P

I'm at work so I have to be quick, but: you did it! Hooray!

Okay, thinking about reading this but I am confuzzled, who are Tom and Michael? :D

[fandomcorner.livejournal.com]

Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum from Smallville. You don't necessarily need to know who they are in detail.

[timey-wimey-kid.livejournal.com]

Nah, I just needed to google their pics before I read :P thanx!

[fandomcorner.livejournal.com]

Hope you enjoy it :)

I just wanted to tell you, my friend Mina has made a vid trailer for your fic. You can view it on my journal:)

[fandomcorner.livejournal.com]

I am staggered and amazed by this. Have left you a comment over there. Please give her my thanks and I'll come back with proper feedback as soon as I can watch it

Wow, ok, I just read the whole thing! I'm still not sure if I'll ever really like RPS, but I loved the first chapter especially. It was just so cute and so funny how you wrote it! I laughed a couple of times. And so great that you mentioned Misha's tweets and the minions. haha

And obviously you've seen MTV Cribs. LOL I have too, and could very well imagine what it looks like in Michael's house when you described it. ;-)

All in all, I can't say that I didn't enjoy reading it. :)

[fandomcorner.livejournal.com]

WHEE!!! Yes, I have seen MTV cribs *g* I saw it back when I first got into the Smallville fandom and rewatched several times as research for this

Hey, I'll take not not enjoying it *g*

Seriously, thanks for having a go even if RPS isn't your thing
