(A!Anon replies very late. Sorry.) First of all: Thank you so much for your warm praise. It really means a lot to me. <3
I've only gone through grieving process three times, and those were all very different experiences. However, it's an important thing-- as with any strong emotion, keeping it bottled up ends terribly. (Trust me on this on.)
I'm very glad you liked the piece, but I am sorry it made you cry. This is going to sound really weird, but I wasn't making an active effort for it to be really emotional. A little sad, but nothing to make people cry.
Trying to keep everyone true to spirit was a fun challenge, and I'm happy you think I did that. As to who asked the question, I thought long and hard about who it was going to be, but I ultimately decided against it for two reasons: I didn't want to demonize or make any other character seem like a jackass, and it ultimately didn't matter when the focus was on America and England.
