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.

Found it in the tags under *Justin stays in the Pitts but doesn't tell Brian*

Number 1 is called It's Only Time by Moonshadow Woman. You can read it here (http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=856&warning=3)

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.

There was an interview with Shawn Postoff (one of the writers) who mentioned that Cowlip were virtually at war with Randy. If you listen to some dialogue in season 5, you could notice that they made Justin 1) mock Randy's RL boyfriend, Simon (remember the critic who wrote a favorable review of Justin's art and Justin, if I remember correctly, called him a cunt or something? And mocked his love of big words? The critic's name was Simon, too) 2) deny what he said in some interview about how Brian lied and cheated on Justin repeatedly. I think it's the scene after break-up when Justin shows his mother around his new place. From what Postoff said, Randy was open about his dislike of Cowlip's creative choices and Cowlip punished him by reducing Justin's screentime and mocking Randy through the character he was playing. And yeah, Gale and Randy weren't happy with where the show was going. Personally, I'm happy they didn't make sixth season. It would've been a disaster, considering the mess they managed to make by 513, and Randy would've gone through another year of hell with those spiteful little assholes. Of course, that is based on my belief that Shawn Postoff wasn't making stuff up, but I see absolutely no reason why he'd say all those things if they weren't true. So, thank God for small blessings, at least qaf salvaged a little bit of dignity due to not enough time left for Cowlip to ruin *every*thing.

Justin's artwork

In season 2 is done by Vince Mancuso. Rage, the comic (in real life, just a collection album) was done by Jon Kent.

Not sure but maybe Mancuso did the art in season 5 as well.
