THANKS CARLIE
I’m just getting to the most emotional part of my chapter and I’m listening to Gaeta’s Lament from Battlestar and then I see your beautiful fic with such lovely tributes to my characters, my babies I created and I CAN’T I JUST CAN’T.
(What I mean by all of that is thank you, it’s gorgeous.)

samiequa:

Someone tell me to get off Tumblr
I need to finish this chapter and I’m avoiding it because it makes me emotional and all you people are so interesting and lovely and so on… also I have resorted to listening to the Backstreet Boys. This is not good.

To all my dearest, darlingest readers of LTD
The fact that there are over two hundred of you now continues to boggle my mind. That is certainly more people than have ever read anything else I’ve written, and I truly appreciate each and every one of you.
Learning to Dance will be going on hiatus after today, while I am travelling for a few weeks in the month of July. It was always my plan to continue the story until after the events of...

Chapter 17 Comment Response Post
I adore each and every comment LTD receives, and wish there was an easier way for me to respond to you all. Here’s the best I could come up with (and I probably should have started doing this before now)!
Thank you both - I’m so glad you think so, this chapter turned out to be very different from many of the others, but I think I needed it as well. I appreciate the vote of...

Anonymous asked: Are you a fan of the TV show Chuck?
Anonymous asked: I just started watching little white lie and somehow I just connected that tequila taz's 'boytoy' is the song from the show! I may have burst out laughing in the middle of my office because taz singing that might be the funniest image ever. So, thank you for making my day! Love your fic!

Learning to Dance (a Taz/Up fanfic) - Chapter 17
Read Chapters 1-16 here.
This is a quiet, largely transitional chapter. I thought our heros needed some time to deal with the fallout from Chapter 16 before I threw any more epic drama their way. The good news is that Chapter 18 is already written and won’t be far behind.
All my love.

aristotle-v-mashyspikeplate asked: This may sound idiotic, but I'm not sure since I just started reading. Is there any specific uploading schedule that you keep, or is it just the next chapter is uploaded when it's done and edited and such?

Chapter 17 tomorrow.
sammieanne36912 asked: Hi there! Love your fic! I also write and was wondering how you deal with writer's block? It is ticking me off not be able to write but when I try I want to chuck my laptop out the window! I probably sound whiny but you have an awesome tup fic and would like to know your opinion.
aristotle-v-mashyspikeplate asked: So, a friend directed me to your Taz/Up fic, and I'm already on chapter eight, and I'm bawling. It's so amazing! Thank you for writing such an amazing fic

Ugh, I promised a teaser today, didn't I?
I’m sorry guys, I don’t have it, Chapter 17 is being severely rewritten now that it has become 17 and 18…
Thanks for all of your responses regarding my question about a possible hiatus. I really appreciate the faith you put in me!

ronstoppableismypatronus asked: I'm way excited for the next two chapters. And to answer your question - I don't care if you write like mad and post it now or wait 3-4 weeks. I'll still read it whenever you post it.
halfwayx0xthere asked: Whatever means that the story would be completed. (I need serious Tup in my life) - I'd hate for you to rush it, but you losing your mojo at this point would be worse than getting cut in half hamburger style.
aesfocus asked: long answer is too long. I think a combination of both. Maybe stop posting after 17 or 18, but try and get as many words out as you can, that way if you do loose the all spark for writers you can come back and not have as much work to do. And if you are still inspired you can build upon, scrap, reuse or toss any idea's you'd gotten out when you come back? Even in the fanfiction world...

I want awesome chapters in a short amount of time...? Haha, just do what you want(: If you feel totally rushed, (which I would) then just don't post them. I promise, I'll be here when you get back :D My suggestion:...

ronstoppableismypatronus asked: Just finished chapter 16. WILL THEY FINALLY AT LEAST TELL EACH OTHER THAT THEY LIKE EACH OTHER? I'M SAD THAT PEDRO IS DEAD, BUT CAN IT *AT LEAST* BE KNOWN THAT TAZ LIKES UP AND UP LIKES TAZ? OR THAT PEDRO NEVER STOOD A CHANCE? PLEASE? Ok. I'm not yelling. Just overly emotional.

So Chapter 17 is becoming 17 and 18...
… what this means is that you are going to get 17 sooner. :)
But I have a question for you, dear readers…
It is almost officially summer for me, and I am going on vacation soon. Like, within a week soon.
So I have two choices…
a) write like a madwoman for the next five days and finish Learning to Dance (editing and posting at a more leisurely rate from the road)
or
b) put...
onlyreadsbooksandshecannotdraw asked: I just read Chapter 16 of Learning to Dance. It was so good. Wow. I love this fic because there's so much adventure to it. It's not just a romance. I love all the action because it helps Taz and Up stay true to their characters. My heart was breaking for Up during the flashbacks, and then for Pedro when he realized that Taz would always love Up, not him. I was just starting to like him...
equifef asked: Lemme educate you on Metal Gear, just in case you didn't know for the chapter about Up's injury.
Metal Gear solid is an amazing game series, which brings us to Metal Gear - giant, robotic evil machines.. well, they're generally the focus of each game. I think it's the second or third game that has an actual fight inside a metal gear so big it can contain the fight.....

halfwayx0xthere asked: First Taz/Up fic I really really enjoyed (you absolutely nail the characterizations) and I couldn't stop reading (I haven't moved since I read the first chapter about an hour ago). Can't wait for Chapter 17 :)
elizabethandkendra asked: I <3 your Tup story. In fact, I started my own based on yours. The link is on my page. But sadly, I already had the theme before I saw yours.
