So, so awesome! You know I love The Mentalist, you know I love Jane and Lisbon and you have to know I was gonna love this from the start. But aside from that, I just love how understated they are, how fraught with history and angst and stuff going on that they don't talk about. It's so them!

I love the Lisbon volunteers. You're right - what else would she do?

and I don't know why, but this:

He knows she is both fascinated by and fearful of him. He thinks she also likes him.

Just seemed so Jane to me.

(Also did you prompt furies okay?)

hooray! I'm so glad! hooray!

I did know I would have at least one audience member.

y'know I really wanted them to fall awwwww in loooove um... sappy romantic me. and also have sex. guh. but I reckon that would take a lot of writing because they're so fraught.

my current plan is to have someone in femslash09 write me a crossover where Lisbon and Reese from Life are sexily ever after. Sneaky and hot.

p.s. I prompted her by email but haven't heard if she got it. she may still be flying?

[mandysbitch]

Yeah, I won't panic yet.

p.p.s.

"what else would she do"

I considered having her play some sort of team sport. with beer. that would also be cute. but... a little too like my life :)

[mandysbitch]

No, not team sport. She's too much of a loner. I could see her doing martial arts or something but not as a member of a team. she's not a joiner. But there would definitely be beer somewhere.
