Yummy! A great read. I do hope we get to see more of Tory in S3...

Thanks! More Tory would be great, since she's such a Cylon.

You are one hell of a writer, my friend. Not only were the plot and sentiment excellent, but the wording was fantastic!

liz_estrada March 24 2006, 21:51:45 UTC

Aww, shucks. Thanks so much for the kind words, glad you liked it. *g*

the most catastrophic episode of fellatio in human history.

Best. Line. Ever written about BSG. Whenever anyone asks me about the show's backstory now, I will refer them to "the most catastrophic episode of fellatio in human history." Perfect.

Hee. Line credit goes to my SO, who posed the question "What the hell did Six do to that man? He obviously tags a whole mess of ass, so she must give one Nirvana of a hummer."

Love! So much love!

I really liked their little game of name-that-quote, and just how comfortable in general they feel with each other. And the descriptions of life on New Caprica during the occupation seem spot on to me.

Thank you so much!

You are quite welcome! Glad you liked it. The disarming comfort level is (to me) a Cylon specialty, since they have the creepy knack for being just what you need, just when you need it. I hope Tory turns up in S.3 - she's cool and clearly of the toaster.

oah, this was very nice!

I'm not a huge fan of first person narrative, but you are totally the only author who can consistently make me enjoy stories written in it. the fact that it's over a wide range of characters and fandoms just makes it even more amazing.

which is to say: you've done a great job of filling in the little details of life on New Caprica, both in Roslin's personal life and the grander scheme of things. you made Laura and Tory's relationship seem real and comfortable, both to them and to the reader, which is great because we haven't seen nearly enough of them in canon. and, hee! gay Draedis jokes!

Thank you muchly! I'm pleased as rum punch that it worked out okay.

Ah, but there's nothing to it, really - mix a little ADD with a little Borderline Personality Disorder, toss in a tattered thesaurus and there you go. ;)
