This fic = SO MUCH FUCKING LOVE!!! BSG, TSCC, my smidge of Derek/Cameron, fail at sexytime....It's just too awesome for words. :)

[arenotvalid]

thank you!

I'm so glad you thought the sexytime fail was appropriate.

I love this. And I haven't seen a second of that show.

It doesn't really seem to have an ending though. But that could just be because I've never seen the show.

I can has request? A fic about about Laura in season four written as if she really were dying. We've spent so much time talking about how she's not dying that I'm kinda intrigued by the story of how she actually would react to dying.

[arenotvalid]

thank you! and zomg, I made a sorta-convert! woooooooo!

I'm so glad that I made this understandable and enjoyable. thanks for trusting me enough to check it out.

that lack of ending was intentional. I wanted to make sure it could fit into the canon well, no big events.

and of course I'll do that for you. it'll take me a few weeks, but I can do that for sure.
thanks again.

AWESOME!!!

Loved the humor and the angst, the levity and how everything does and doesn't really touch Cameron. I love the way you've accounted for her shifts in behavior by building and amending protocols within her programming. And all of the little things that she does in order to be more human. The nail polish was genius and the conversation about what she should wear to school.

Awesome, awesome!

[arenotvalid]

thank you!

I'm glad that the bits with the protocol and programming make sense. and that the parts with nail polish are enjoyable.
I really appreciate hearing what works in the fic, so thanks again.

OMG. Cameron watching "Flesh and Bone". Cameron listening to music. Cameron thinking in "if-then" statements. And all the way through, the plaintiveness of her voice, the strength of her wanting to be good. This is an amazing story.

[arenotvalid]

oh, thank you!
I've admired your work for a while and haven't been brave enough to comment.

"flesh and bone" is one of my favorite episodes, and I figured that cameron would really like it since she has already been shown as curious about faith. and sometimes it's just cool to have robots listening to radiohead.
I wanted this to be about cameron taking some tiny steps towards humanity, but out of curiosity and not out of fear like skynet. and I'm so glad that the strength of cameron's want was palpable.

I really appreciate comments like this, so thank you.

Psss. I think my favourite part is Cameron's description of a wedgy: Cameron can feel that her underwear is misaligned. MINDBOGGLINGLY AWESOME.

[arenotvalid]

thanks!
if I could subtitle this fic, it would probably be "robots in human clothing get wedgies too."
'cause cameron wears the trendy clothes and has no purpose for the comfy grannie panties.
