Oh yes, must thank JC for encouraging you and that way "destiny's children" happened.

Guess JC was the hand of destiny!

thanx for sharing this post with us, its nice to know how u began ur FF journey...your posts have always been intriguing and written really well and when i saw that u intended to write a FF i knew it was going to be brilliant. thanx for writing this FF for us opti, u gave us a michi chawl track, a hot headed milsi and triplets...it was a treat reading michi's journey and it reminded me of the initial michi marriage days in the serial...Thank You!!!

thank u JC for encouaging opti to give this FF a go, if it wasnt for u we might have been deprived of another michi journey :D

Thanks Shabeena. Yes, the main motive for starting the fic was to live a chawl track atleast in it since they did not show it in the serial.

Woah, what a post, thanks for sharing how Destiny Children's came to be conceptualised and your thoughts and apprehensions on starting an FF. Opti, I hope u will write some one shot Michi FF's before the show wraps up.

Dont know Yasmin. Right now all I want to do is finish the epilogue of this one. Do not think I can write any more.

Opti I just came across this post. I can't believe that you didn't think you could do it. Yes there are a few members in this forum who seem to have a natural flare and confidence in storytelling. However what I loved about your FF is that it came across genuinely sincere and of excellent quality, to me it exuded pure unabashed love for MICHI and like I said in my very first post to you, you took the original very clever concept of Kayamath and turned it into something beautiful. I believe through your FF you effectively demonstrated how the characters could have grown and connected with each other, you showed that stories can flow naturally and continue to be gripping without endless miscommunications, misunderstandings and over the top unrealistic scenarios, all this can be very frustrating and annoying for a reader. You conveyed what everyone on this forum wanted to see happen on the show. Apart from MICHI being your central characters you gave precedence to all the other characters too, they all had a story to tell.

Like so many I loved your FF loads!!

p.s. thanks for replying to all my comments.

Nikki, i made this post to show how a non-story teller like me can also write a FF. It is a hint for people like you who post insightful comments on others FFs. That was what I was doing for more than 15 months. Inspite of many asking me to try my hand in writing I was too scared. So take the hint and start writing. I am sure you will do a great job.

As to my love for Michi, I go nuts when it comes to them which is why I was so upset after I saw their massacre in the show. To give vent to my frustration I started writing this fic. I did not want to deviate from the original concept which I thought had a lot of scope but was thoughtlessly ruined by the so-called creatives. And yes, I do believe you needn't have miscommunications, endless misunderstandings and high melodrama to tell a story. There are so many day to day events, small things which happen to us which convey a story by itself. All of us have lives which may not be very glamorous but definitely there must be enough in it to make it exciting. That is what I tried to do with this fic. I drew from my own experiences or that of my friends in several cases and added some wild imagination to make a 'story' out of it.

Thanks for taking the time off to read my fic and post regular comments. It was my pleasure to respond to them. As I had already mentioned you were among the few who could catch on to the subtle scenes I sometimes include to give insights into my characters.
