Shit, Michelle but this is fantastic. I barely watch SNL and have, like, only a vague knowledge of both these people but the way you paint them is so rich and varied - the tension between the two of them is so achingly palpable throughout and the echoing of that first sketch he writes for her. And fabulous as it is as a portrayal of these two people and their odd fractured relationship, it's also just a great look at the industry (like Studio 60 without the Sorkin-level grossness LOL) and the way their jobs and their colleagues and the entertainment world moving around them pushes them and their marriages into these corners. I am legit obsessed with your Bill and Kristen voices. I've always liked the both of them but now I just want to crawl into bed and trawl youtube for clips of their faces and watch for signs of inappropriate touching. This was basically just the best Saturday morning read and honestly, lady, we are all waiting on that novel. I'm always so pleased when I see that you've written things in a fandom I know because your writing consistently blows me away.
Thank you so much! I am just, completely and wholly flattered by this comment, girl -- thank you. This was just so much fun to write! It's funny, writing this happened to coincide with my spring break trip to New York, and while we were there we went down to 30 Rock and did the whole NBC studio tour and got to see where they shoot SNL and it was just so crazy interesting to me! I am so intrigued by this bizarre workplace environment and lifestyle! And ugh, Studio 60 -- I will forever rue the disappointment that that show was! (It coulda been a contendah!)

THAT WAS BASICALLY ME A WEEK AGO. There are some real gems out there on the interwebs, haha. I think this was my gateway drug, and it was all downhill after that haha.
