Love the distinction she makes in her own mind about Kara and Starbuck. And the throwback to her teaching the nuggets in sunglasses while smoking on BSG was hilarious. Nice job.

Glad you enjoyed it! Love your icon :)

I'm so glad you liked it! :D

I really love this. I love the parallels of Kara's coach and how she ended up teaching her nuggets. I love the sunglasses and cigar method of getting their attention.

Great job!

Thanks very much!

Another one from you? It's like Christmas come early!

I have so much love for this piece. I love the way you wove in Kara's past pyramid experience with her teaching experience, and I loved seeing Kara's desire to really be good at teaching tempered by those good ol' Kara Thrace insecurities that never really go away. So very Kara.

And, yknow, Zak. *sigh* Who doesn't love Zak?

Hee. These are not from me. I am posting all the stories in the fic exchange because I am the mod and the stories are anonymous until the reveal on/about December 9.

For some reason I can't seem to figure out how to post as "karathracelives". I can only post as me. Sorry for the confusion!

Ah. Well, whoever wrote this, I love it!

You'd have to make a spare account.

The cigarette burn made me cringe... I loved this though... the back and forth between the two scenes were wonderful. I liked the glimpse into her head when she was younger, the struggles with her self-worth that really continue throughout her life.

I totally called that loud mouth guy was Zak... *pets him*

The ciagrette burn was much vaguer in the first draft, but I felt like I should make it more pointed and I'm glad that you had a reaction to it.

Thanks for reading :)
