I haven't quite finished watching Press Gang yet, but couldn't resist jumping into some fic. ;-)

You've really captured both Kenny and Spike's voices (I swear I can hear Spike's American accent as I read his lines here!) and the story fits in neatly with the episodes. (I also loved the references to Spike and Lynda's issues of these particular episodes.)

I also really liked how you used the prompt. When I first saw the words "Make Me" my first thought was 'to make someone do something by force'; I like how you used it in more of a 'change me' sense. It definitely worked well with the context of the on-screen story.

I enjoyed reading this ficlet and am looking forward to seeing your other ficlets!

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

To be fair, the prompt on the table came next to 'Break Me', so it sort of leant towards that (but I liked it, because it is both in this case, and also Kenny wants to make Spike sort things out with Lynda. I like to get my money's worth out of a prompt every now and then. ;-D)
