Last thread can be found here: Literati Appreciation Thread #4: "It's what it is, you, me."

And I just chose one of the reasons from our list as the title If you have any better ideas for the thread title, please let me know!

Originally Posted by Airie Not sure when exactly it happened...but I kept increasingly enjoying his parts, especially his scenes with Rory and at the end of The Ins & Outs of Inns, and especially started to love him in The Bracebridge Dinner and Richard in Stars Hollow, and by the time A-Tisket, A-Tasket came around, I LOVED HIM.

So, it was a gradual thing then. I don't know why, but I really liked this character instantly, even though he was a bit of a jerk at first.

[conty]

yeah me too so i really like the new topic name

[NaleyLove04]

I LOVE the new thread title guys....it's so cute , just like Lit are .

[unapologetic mocker]

Congrats on the new thread!

I noticed i'm not on the shipper list. Could i be added?

[Airie]

Nice, new thread. Good title idea. Yeah, it was gradual. I liked the character from the beginning, just didn't know I'd get so much more into him.

[conty]

i loved the little things about jess about literati in general
also i never though that a guy saying huh would be the most sexi thing ever lol

[lies and lullabies]

nice title.

[conty]

[Airie]

Ooh, yes, I do know. I have it somewhere... And Madelen, I LOVE YOUR ICON. Can I snag? Do you know the livejournal name of the maker, if there is one?
