Dude, you write fic? And then you wade in with a Panda pov fic? Balls-of-steel, my friend. Hats off.

I really enjoyed this. Panda's voice in particular is awesome. I can't even go close to writing anything about Panda just because her vocab and turn of phrase is ridiculous. But 'what the bog?', and 'just fuck the flipping off' were perfect. Just perfect.

Panda's a little darling, and it was nice to have her story explored, and to have some insight into her, rather than just the usual punch-line role the show slots her into. Thomas vs Cook seems like such an obvious choice to make, and her dismay at wanting the wrong one is palpable.

The Panda/Effy dynamic confuses me, and this went some way to explaining it, so thanks. Great job!

Yes, I write fic! Prior to this, I had written one Buffy story (about Giles, I think) when I was sixteen, and then a fic for the Once and Again fandom when I was eighteen (although, no one even watched that show, so there wasn't much of a fandom to begin with). This story is the first I've written in five years. Skins is inspirational, y'all

Oh jeez. I DON'T LIKE COCK, GUYS. JUST COOK. Sivi said the same thing to me a while ago. I clearly have to change my lj layout to hide the tags, else random passers-by will start thinking I'm a raging heterosexual.

Panda's mum! I want fic for her, fruitloop that she is.

You're going to write more, yes? It's always good to get new writers (decent ones)

You know what was funny? I misread that tag on one of my first visits to your journal ever and I was totally like-"wait, I thought she was gay?!" it was a very confusing nano second

I...gah, I wish my students were tiny. Today I spent the entire day teaching people at least a foot taller than me. I get a weeks holiday in around seven weeks time, and then two weeks over Christmas. Can't wait.

Good luck on ace-ing your semester, 'tis a good ambition!
