Do I get to say, Is Good? Still loving your Alan. But you need a wider audience. Maybe post it to Numb3rCrunching?

mistraltoes February 18 2006, 10:46:22 UTC

Oops, that was me. LJ keeps kicking me out. :(

You totally get to say, "is good." :-D I'm startled; I *know* have multiple Numb3rs fans on my flist...they must all be too busy to read it right now or something. I feel like making a post and begging for comments. *g*

I'm going to put it up on fanfiction.net today...I know the Numb3rs archive there gets a LOT of people coming through at the moment. Numb3r Crunching is also a good idea. I don't post there often, but this is a very good reason to do so.

I was trying to convince myself to join numb3rs_fic yesterday, but the sheer amount of slash they have is offputting. Not that that stopped me from putting them on my flist, in case cute stories (there's a Larry/Megan series I've read some of) turn up. *ponders*

p.s. does the title work at all? *hates making up titles*

*awed silence*

Well, if your readers are having the same reaction to this that I had the first time I read it, they're too moved/awed/wowed to say anything. Comments will ruin the mood. I know that sounds strange, but there ya go.

Regarding the title: *very* cool. It sounds like a real term, even if it's not . . .

RE: joining numb3rs_fic: if you're uncomfortable with the material they have there, I'd say give it a pass. You can talk to the CalSci Library and start an entry there, right?

I know you put a lot into this, so don't be discouraged by lack of feedback. I suspect it served a purpose far deeper and more important than mere feedback can accomplish.

But regardless, good on ya.

Your story is really good. I really liked the resolution you brought to Charlie; I felt like there really wasn't any in the episode. You really got their voices right; I hope to read more of your fics!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you thought the voices were good; I always worry about that when I start writing in a new fandom. I too thought there wasn't enough resolution--I had to find out what Charlie would do afterwards.

Yes, I have at least 2 more Numb3rs stories currently in various stages of being written. There shall be more...just not sure how soon! :-)

[oh, and ICON LUV. *stares mesmerized at Charlie*]

Very nice. Please make it easy for fans to find your story by posting or linking from the CalSci Library archive at http://www.cslibrary.us/submissions.html

Have to agree with previous Anon poster, submit this lovely thing to CalSci, I'm sure Wolfpup would love to host it! (Besides, while FFN does get a LOT of traffic, not everyone who surfs there will pick up and read this story or comment on it. Mostly because, like me, they dread the piles of poo they have to dive through to find the few gems that get lost there.)

Ooo, look, our CoMod has come to visit my LJ! :-) *waves*

(She called my story lovely. *writerly squee*)

Heh, I know what you mean about FFN. I kind of use it as a catch-all for my fic, even though they usually get more comments here or in specific archives (Sugar Quill, etc) anyway. And boy, have I done my share of 'wading' to find the 'gems' (I really wish sammac and dedletrbox would get themselves archived on CalSci--they've got fantastic stuff which I never would have found except by said wading.)

I have indeed taken your advice and submitted this to CalSci, and shall do so with any other Numb3rs fics I actually manage to finish. I'm glad to be able to support a basically-gen archive--there are too few around.

Re: Make it easy to find izhilzha February 19 2006, 17:04:14 UTC

Thank you! That suggestion has been made, and I submitted this story to CalSci Library last night! :-) Any further stories will be archived there as well, I hope.

Finally got to read this. Very good, well-done. Every now and then, I try to find old friends and acquaintances online. Interesting results sometimes.
