Oh, you rec'd two of my all time fav's of all time! Good calls on both your #1 and #2 rec's! #4 is awesome, also!

*Phew* Thank you! I have to admit, this was a lot of fun to do even with the not-so-fun prompt!!

I totally understand! I rec'd anger/fighting fics. It was painfully fun to comb through fics with B/N arguing fiercely, and in one case, coming to blow. Angst is good for the soul!

I know right! I really hope someone recs a couple to me, as I'm a sucker for angst. Now I have to go read your bigbang!

I'll go through my bookmarks and see if I have anything angsty you might not have read.

Let me know what you think of the BigBang. It's my first plotty fic where B/N aren't the A plot.

Have you read Dark Winter Wear You Down? It's so angsty, Nate sits down on the floor and cries! He has a heart to heart with his sister!

I did, it's amazing!! I was going to rec it but AO3 went down for like 12 hours or something so had to think again. And fyi, I read your bigbang and I loved it and I commented (I was the first anon)! :):) Don't worry about reccing me anything, I still have tons in my memories that I should read anyways :)

You did read my fic? I was pretty proud of it until pjvilar posted. My story is crap compared to that one!

And AO3 is STILL having problems.

Whaat are you crazy, you should be totally proud! It's such a high level on the bigbangs I've read, it's not even funny. Many could be movies, which I would probably watch religiously! You are all ridiculously talented :)

Yes, the quality level coming out of the bigbang is just phenomenal. I guess that when I read a story that means something in the scheme of the world, like pjvilar's story, I always feel inadequate. While I'm proud of the quality of my actual written words, I am, after all, the writer who brought Hooker!Porn to GK!

WAITWHATHOOKERPORN!?!? *worships you*
But seriously, I thought you addressed something very real and very serious in your fic. If I'm not mistaken undetonated american made cluster-bombs was (and still is) a serious problem after the second Lebanon war. I know it isn't treason, still doesn't make it right that people/countries are making so much money off of war.
I thought it was very thought-provoking, and even though I loove porn I'm glad you decided to leave it out of your bigbang. It probably would only take away from the story :) And btw, I've read it another two times, and I have this urge to watch Hurt Locker now, and the story only gets better by every read. LOL, okey I'll stop flailing! Just...

Hooker!Porn! I shouldn't denigrate my own work, cause when I go back and re-read it, it's actually a sweet, and at times, heartbreaking romance.

I wrote my story before I saw Russell Crowe's version of State of Play, but I found it interesting that there is a general awareness of how bad an idea it is to privatize the military. Look at all the horrible things (cluster bombs) the governmental military has done, while ostensibly answerable to the citizenry. There will be no holding them back if they are only answerable to their bottom lines.

It was also a veiled jab at the former President and his prolific enabling of big business to do as they damn well please, regardless of the political, social or moral implications.
