Justin live in Britin instead of NY + who´s author of Justin artwork + why no season 6

[sisamyska.livejournal.com]

Hi guys!
I´m looking for 3 things I hope you´ll help me with:
1. great fic where Justin didn´t leave for New York but live in Britin with its housekeepers, helping some big guy-sculptor who has a lot of children. Brian thinks Justin is in NY but at the end find out the truth. It´s very good fic and I would love to read it again, I can´t find it in my pc and didn´t find it under b/j live at Britin tag.
2. I was wondering if someone know who did the Justin artwork especially in S5?
3. I´ve read somewhere that season 6 wasn´t because Randy and Gale didn´t want to continue, is it true and is there some more reason or explanation? I´m in fandom for more than year so I wasn´t around when it was actual and would like to know more.
Thank in advance to all for tips and explanations :)
Sisa

EDIT: Fic found thanks to balrogtweety - It's Only Time by Moonshadow Woman (link in comments), nb. 3 in comments also, still looking for nb 2. the artist.

For number 3 - I've read somewhere that it's true that it was because of G.H. and R.H.'s no to season 6 and I am pretty sure Hal Sparks said it as well that Gale and Randy didn't want another season but the producers/writers did or something. From what I understood, Randy wasn't that happy with Justin's development from the 'start' and the role of 'wifey' so to speak and was happy with the ending of Justin going to 'find himself independently, on his own terms' in NYC.

And for Gale's stand...I am not sure if this is true or if I read it from a fan post and not an actual article or something but seems like he didn't really like the fact that Brian still refused to 'grow up/ commit to Justin' even during seasons 4 and 5. I think that from the begining of season 4 it all went downhill i.e. Gale and Randy not really seeing eye to eye with the writers/Cowlip or whoever else was in charge.

Hope it helps...Cheers.

Thank you for the explanation. I would like to see more Justin+Brian but without Randy and Gale it would be pointless..

I know...me too...aaaaaaah, why oh why...but I do agree with them on their views, I mean we should have been given some heavy shmooooooop in season 5 from the start. hehehe.

Here's an article from Sparky (Hal Sparks) about 'never gonna be a qaf movie because of differences' that I had bookmarked http://www.milehighgayguy.com/2008/09/hal-sparks-speaks_11.html
Presumably, he's talking about G. and R. in some of his answers.

I agree on the lack of shmoop. Thank God for fanfiction where shmoop, schmaltz & fluff is abundant. Lovers of squee-inducing BJ fanfiction unite!
LOL.

Here here! Cowlip should take a few pointers from the shmoop community! hehe. OMFG...tommorow is the start of QAF reunion (all nine main actors discussing the show and stuff) in Cologne, Germany...I would give my both kidneys to be there...aaaaaaaaah. I hope Sparky will not bore everyone with his lame ass jokes...tehehehe. Oh god, I need a live feed from Cologne tommorow!!!!! LOL

I think it's actually in June. I wanted to go SOOOOOOOO badly, but lack of money and a brand new job without vacation time for the first year basically meant that I was shit out of luck. I do know one person from the fandom that is going and I am pea-green with envy (but genuinely happy for her)!

So, while she'll be enjoying herself with the boys and the rest of the cast, I'll be crying into my coffee and reading shmoopy fics on my laptop. *sniff, sniff*

oh wow..I skipped an entire month...jeez, you're right and i am time traveling in my effed up head. hehehe.

Oh my gooooooodd...that's amazing...she has to take like lots of photos and remember every single thing she will hear and just post it all over the communities for us to drool over. hihihi

We can cry into the coffee together in a month. I'll deffo ut some whiskey into mine to lessen the ache.

Thanks! I´ve just read the article and think it said it all. Just think that Hal is maybe a little bit jealous or something that there isn´t more QAF without G+R. I don´t know this guy but the comments about actors that shlould just shut up and do their work seem a bit harsh to me (but English isn´t my native language so maybe it sounds worse to me..).

I know, I agree with you 100 %. I mean, when I read it for the first time and then for like the seventh time I was like...uhhmm okay Sparky, what crawled up your ass and died? hehehe. So sad and oh the bellow response about the writers/producers giving Randy less screen time and ridiculing him that's just ARRRRRGH...how dare they, I saw that there was less and less Randy but seriously what the blazing bleeeeep...I am so happy he got out of that nest of snakes (wow, I am evil...tehehehe). Oh and a movie without G and R...no nonooooooooooooooooo...I mean, I would die of boredom with Sparky and his Zen Ben and Hunter routine...bleeeeeeh. heheh. I even like Mikey to a certain degree but he would be 'nothing' without Brian.

ps - here's a suposedly Shawn' email about why the ending was like it was...with Brian all alone at Babylon http://qafrefugeeforum.yuku.com/topic/369
